About Our Holistic Spas:
The multi-award winning Spas at Mandarin Oriental are havens for contemplation and discovery. Guided by our oriental heritage but influenced by local cultural diversity, the Group has created distinctive concepts with a unique sense of place in every location, with highly sophisticated spa offerings under development at all of the new hotels in the Group’s upcoming portfolio. In recognition of the Group’s expertise in this area, The Forbes ‘Five Star Spa’ award was granted to a record ten hotels in 2014, more than any other hotel group in the world.
Each Spa at Mandarin Oriental is designed to offer a complete holistic experience that goes well beyond simply delivering massages to tired bodies. A focus for the Group’s spa experience is the signature “Time Ritual” which encourages guests to book time rather than specific treatments, so that services can be tailor-made to meet specific needs. Our highly trained therapists are thoroughly educated to the Group’s own exacting standards, and are all committed to excellence and take pride in delivering personalized, dedicated service.
In addition, Mandarin Oriental offers the unique service of a spa concierge, to provide guests with a resource that understands their health issues and how best to address them therapeutically. In his way it is hoped that the spa also becomes a centre of learning and exchange.
Each spa also provides a variety of other disciplines that include: fitness options, nutrition counselling, yoga, tai-chi, meditation, beauty and relaxation therapies. In addition, many spas have wet heat treatment areas that all guests are invited to enjoy as part of their spa journey. These have been developed from traditional bathing cultures in the Middle East (Hamam) and Europe (Kneipp bath and saunas).
About Our Mandarin Oriental’s Signature Spa Line:
Mandarin Oriental’s bespoke signature spa therapies, together with a product and homecare range was launched at many of the Group’s luxury hotel spas worldwide, in June 2009. The signature treatments have been devised to address guests’ increasing desire for simple, effective and authentic spa experiences, which can be extended to one’s home.
Developed in consultation with specialists in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and master aromatherapists, each signature therapy consists of a relaxing, hands-on body massage
ritual that combines the powerful effects of oriental meridian massage with the therapeutic benefits of custom-blended essential oils, created uniquely for Mandarin Oriental.
Mandarin Oriental’s signature product line has been developed specifically for the Group by the award-winning UK based company, Aromatherapy Associates. Each aromatherapy-based product has been created according to the oriental principles of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Bringing together the purest plant and flower oils from east and west, the blends reflect the unique balancing properties of each of the elements. From the stimulating influence of earth to the releasing force of wood, each blend lends its own restorative effect depending on the needs of the individual.
The product range incorporates body and bath oils matched to each of the five elements, as well as a generic body scrub, body wash and body lotion. All contain natural ingredients and are paraben free, and have been blended by a master blender to Mandarin Oriental’s specifications. The products, which include a range of candles and travel-size oils, are available for purchase at Mandarin Oriental spas, so that guests can continue using specific blends at home.
