COPENHAGEN, Denmark - "There is more to life than increasing its speed," said Mahatma Ghandi.

Imagine 850 square metres of Asian spa luxury. Give in to complete indulgence at Ni'mat Massage & Spa, where 12 years of experience make sure that you are perfectly pampered. Enjoy the Jacuzzi, cold water bucket and all the other wellness facilities that Ni'mat now offers, after moving into Hotel Kong Arthur, thereby becoming Copenhagen's biggest spa.

In the heart of Copenhagen, facing the beautiful string of lakes and only a short walk from traffic nerve centre N�rreport, you will find an oasis within the city.

In the beginning of June 2012, Copenhagen's oldest spa Ni'mat moved in to the 4-star Hotel Kong Arthur's 850 square metres of spa facilities, and together Hotel Kong Arthur and Ni'mat now offer spa stays for both business and pleasure.

For Copenhageners or tourists wanting to pamper themselves with a one-day visit, Ni'mat is open 11 hours a day, ready to give their guests the exact treatment from Ni'mat's varied catalogue they long for. Treatments are all planned with care.

"As a rule, the experiences we offer our guests must be something I like and want to have myself. And by 'experiences', I am not only thinking of the big picture; but in particular all the little details, creating the wholeness of atmosphere and intimacy," tells Heidi �sterby, owner of Ni'mat Massage & Spa.

Especially the atmosphere of intimacy and familiarity is what characterizes Ni'mat. Deep colours adorn the walls, Buddha statues encourage calmness, restful music fills your heart, and an Eastern atmosphere of relaxation and nursing shrouds your body and soul. Ni'mat Massage & Spa is a unique vent for those who wish to escape the city for a couple of hours.
