Spa Resorts in Asia and the Pacific Rim
Spa resorts in Asia focus on the spiritual, while offering some of the most sumptuous accommodations in the world. Private villas built over the ocean in Maldives and sophisticated luxury hotels in Hong Kong offer spa services to guests, whether visiting for business or pleasure. Spa resorts in Asia are the perfect place for spa vacations! These are some of our recommendations for spa resorts and hotel spas in Asia and the Pacific rim:
• Nautilus Spa at the Coco Palm Resort - This resort in the Maldives offers thatched villas on stilts over the water, as well as private villas on the beach - this is truly an exotic paradise! The spa offers Ayurvedic treatments from Thailand, India, and Indonesia. Massage (on the beach!), salt scrubs, scented oils and soothing baths are some of the indulgences available. • Sanctuary Spa at the Residence - Reminiscent of old-world plantations with ceiling fans and natural woods, The Residence in Mauritius has spacious rooms (some with personal butlers) overlooking lush gardens and scented with herbal-infused oils to promote relaxation. The spa offers Asian massage therapies and skin treatments along with yoga, tai chi, and meditation. There is a children's program to occupy the kids while you're at the spa, so bring the family! • Banyan Tree Phuket - Anything but high-tech, the spa at Banyan Tree Phuket, on the pristine beach of Phuket, Thailand, focuses on healing through touch. The private villas each has its own garden and spa pool. Much of the resort is open-air, promoting harmony with the natural surroundings. Skin treatments utilize simple ingredients like orange juice and honey or herbal oils; the Banyan massage is a house specialty. • Peninsula Hotel & Spa - The Peninsula Hotels are among the finest in the world, and the Peninsula Hong Kong is the "grande dame" of them all. Situated along the harbor with spectacular views of the city, the hotel is the place for afternoon tea after a day of shopping. The hotel spa is the perfect place to unwind as well; a ginger foot scrub and a hot stone massage of chakra points will "clear blocked energy". Facial treatments will cleanse and clarify skin after exposure to the city's urban air.
• Taj Spa Boat at Taj Lake Palace - Probably one of the most unique spa resorts in Asia, the Taj Lake Palace, located in the middle of a calm, lovely lake in Udaipur, boasts a floating spa! Actually there are two spas: the Jiva Spa, within the walls of the 18th century marble palace, offers massages and wraps utilizing local clay and herbs along with a hammam. The Taj Spa Boat, moored in the lake near the palace, offers massages (singles or couples) in the intimate atmosphere of a private retreat. The quiet rhythm of the waves enhances the soothing, calming effect of the treatments.
