The Three Journeys
Apart from a unique Daoyin Tao massage, the new spa has a theme of "three journeys" running through it.
The first is the Jing journey, which is a carefully assorted set of restorative treatments designed to enhance the immune system. The journey also includes acupuncture, a Chinese medicine session, and tui na. The second journey, known as Qi adopts the yin and yang philosophy and is designed to bring back balance of the body by manipulating meridian pathways. The journey encompasses an oriental massage, the signature body toner treatment, and Chinese reflexology. Finally the Shen journey places high emphasis on the spirit. The journey has herbal bath session, private yoga tai chi, and a specially formulated facial with jade stone.
Achieving Critical Balance
The resort aims to bring its guests back in touch with nature through a wide array of special treatments that include core signature packages as well as newly developed facials that have consistently shown results. Apart from various facials and body treatment therapies based on Amala, the resort spa also features traditional Chinese medicine.
Styling and Design
The Qing Cheng Mountain spa has been designed by Habita Architects. The overlying theme that is predominantly seen is that of "responsible luxury." It has both elements of modern styling as well as traditional architecture and landscaping that are drawn from the location of the spa. The village theme is a unique aspect of the resort, which consists of 4 suites surrounding a courtyard, which makes it a great ambience for a large group of friends or family reunions.
Other Attractions
Apart from the spa, the resort has three swimming pools, one exclusively for children, movie theaters, and an outdoor fitness trail. The resort has been designed to attract customers from mainland China.
The brilliant approach is very visible in the efficient management of space making it clean and uncluttered. What makes it special is the incorporation of cultural elements such as exposed beams, classic rattan accents, and furniture that has been inspired by ancient Chinese designs.
