The bespoke Chuan Ritual by Chuan Spa at Cordis, Hong Kong helps restore a sense of well-being from the inside and out
THE DEAL
From its facilities to treatments and products, Chuan Spa Hong Kong has been designed with a focus on traditional Chinese medicine philosophy to offer a holistic wellness experience, which the signature Chuan Ritual epitomises. The 150-minute journey comprises three treatments – a body scrub and wrap, signature massage and either a 30-minute facial or foot treatment – which are customised according to your element (metal, wood, water, fire or earth). The therapist will first determine your element for the day based on a short questionnaire, before deciding on the relevant massage oil and techniques for the treatment.
THE LOWDOWN
“Your element today is earth. It’s related to the colour yellow and governs the spleen, stomach and muscles,” says my therapist Cher Mar while offering me a sniff of the massage oil she’s chosen. It smells of eucalyptus – soothing and refreshing at once.
