Like a potato, if the human body is not properly mashed and moisturized, it will never be used for anything more than a science project battery. Make sure your body is properly fluffed and buttered with today's soothing Groupon: for $109 get a Javanese Pampering Package at Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa located in Whistler. This authentic Indonesian style spa relaxes respite-seeking clients with a complete royal Javanese experience that enchants all of the senses with aromatic oils, exotic teas, soothing sights and sounds of nature, and calming massage. Their signature hour-long Javanese massage kneads tension away with medium to deep tissue palm and thumb strokes and a special mix of Indonesian scented oils. Focusing on circular movements, trigger points and reflex zones, the massage technician sparks nerve endings, increases blood flow and unknots muscles, and following the intense massage clients can stimulate internal serenity with complimentary loose-leaf Tea from 50 different regions around the world. The half hour coconut cream hair and scalp treatment revitalizes hair with a coconut-based solution that softens and strengthens follicles while the technician massages the scalp, neck and shoulders. Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa in Whistler also has a dry sauna, whirlpool and heated swimming pool available to clients for free all year-round. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

• Located just off the main lobby – facing the pool and hot tub area – the space is gorgeously appointed with rich Indonesian fabrics, furnishings and artwork. – Chris Johns, National Post
• Hands down, this was the best massage I have ever had. Rarely have I ever felt so comfortable as to find myself in a trance and lucid state from a massage. – greengirl13, TripAdvisor
