Times are hard. But free time, indeed, is luxury. The need for pampering is a reward — despite the economic crunch. To depressurize, we look for sanctuaries that will reinvigorate our senses.
Personal luxury is a form of reward that we entitle ourselves to. Today, there is a proliferation of “luxe” haven spas in Manila and one of the most treasured is the Chi Spa of Shangri-La Edsa. Elegantly designed in modern Himalayan-Chinese style, its noteworthy five-star attractions bring you to a different level of global spa experience. Boasting a range of top-of-the-line organic treatments and therapies, one goes through a relaxing journey of physical, mental and almost spiritual self-recovery in this spa. With a high level of exclusivity, one is assured of a high level of personal service, pampering and exceptional attention. At par with international standards, the Chi Spa offers specially designed rooms to complete the “one-of-a-kind” appeal that’s the first of its kind in the country. Other amenities include a library, yoga area, private pools and Jacuzzis. Though the idea of going to the spa can be costly and at times create quite a dent in our pockets, Chi offers special packages to suit every need. In this sanctuary, luxury is made affordable.
(The Chi Spa is located at 1 Garden Way, Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Call 633-8888 or 634-7303.)
