THE CONCEPT
The hotel’s 3,200-square-meter Spa Village offers therapies based on traditional Chinese medicine, using specially created products by U.K.-based company Aromatherapy Associates. Each of its 18 treatment rooms comes with private steam shower and an outdoor bathtub, with saunas and whirlpools in couples’ rooms and additional luxe touches such as stone scrub tables and daybeds in the VIP suites.

THE TREATMENTS
Opt for the more unusual treatments. The Hilot—an ancient Filipino massage—treats body imbalances through a combination of deep-tissue massage and smooth, fl owing strokes, while the Dagdagay Foot Therapy is performed using a bamboo or rattan stick to stimulate the foot’s nerves. Or get into the local spirit with the two-hour-long Chinese Time Ritual: a medicinal massage and herbal soak that’s prescribed for your needs by a traditional Chinese doctor.
