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.
CHI, The Spa, at Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa offers a unique spa design
concept. A standalone spa village sits on an island connected to the hotel via
a private causeway.
Traditional Borneo treatments on the
spa menu are plant-based in nature, energy aware and reflect the multi-cultural
heritage of the region. CHI, The Spa at Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa, was voted
"Best Spa in Malaysia"
in the SpaFinder 2009 Readers' Poll.
In traditional Chinese philosophy, ch’i or “Qi” is the universal life force that
governs well-being and personal vitality. For good health to be maintained, it
is believed that ch’i 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. These healing principles form the basis of the CHI spa philosophy.
