Experiencing Perfect CHI, the Spa at Malaysia's Shangri-la Tanjung Aru Resort

[Sandra & John Scott]

The beautiful Shangri-la Tanjung Aru Resort just outside of Kota Kinabalu has an incredible spa. CHI, the Spa at Shangri-La draws inspiration from the origins of the Shangri-La legend, a place of personal peace, enchantment and well-being. CHI offers a unique spa design concept. It is a stand-alone "spa village" connected to the hotel via a private causeway.  Each of the eight villas has its own herbal steam room, spacious relaxation area and private changing room.  A private yoga pavilion with a deck extending out over the South China Sea offers spectacular sunset views.  Traditional Borneo treatments on the spa menu are plant-based in nature, energy aware and reflect the multi-cultural heritage of the region.

 

The award-winning CHI follows traditional Chinese philosophy, "chi" or "Qi" - the universal life force that governs wellbeing and personal vitality.  For people to maintain good health, it is believed that "chi" must flow freely within the body.

 

Consider the spa’s “Paradise Found” package, an indulgent experience that includes Relaxation Aroma Bath Therapy, Revitalizing Essential wrap, CHI Balance Signature Massage and CHI Facial. They offer a full menu of wellness massages, body scrubs, body wraps, facial treatments, along with hand and foot care. Enjoy their complimentary group yoga and Tai Chi lessons or schedule a private lesson for a modest fee. For more information check www.shangri-la.com/en/property/kotakinabalu/tanjungaruresort.
