THE CHI 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.
Designed as a secluded spa, CHI, The Spa allows
guests to enjoy the privacy and luxury of the largest spa villas
in Muscat, complete with spacious relaxation areas that include
a private garden patio and a garden rain shower. From the calm
serenity of the Spa’s welcoming inner sanctum, guests
can enjoy the experience of the unique CHI Water Oasis, featuring
a vitality hydro pool, a herbal steam room, tundra and tropical
showers, an ice fountain and a relaxation area inviting guests
to linger in the restorative ambience of CHI. Guests can also
book the Rhassul and Hammam to truly unwind and relax.
In traditional Chinese philosophy, "chi"
or "Qi" is the universal life force that governs well-being
and personal vitality. For people to maintain good health, it
is believed that "chi" must flow freely within the
body and, when blocked, "dis-ease" and illness follow.
Movement is therefore a key element in releasing blockages.
Body massage, exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, and movement
of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to assist
the body's natural renewal and form the basis of the CHI spa
philosophy.
