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.

The jewel for relaxation of Shangri-La's Boracay Resort and Spa is the 5,714 sq m CHI, The Spa.  Located on a rocky peninsula looking out over a private bay, the detached spa village complex is designed to be a sanctuary within the Resort.  Facilities include deluxe villas for half- or full-day use and smaller suites for hourly treatments.  A spa pool is set within the landscaped gardens, ideal to relax after a treatment or yoga session.  CHI offers a host of treatments based on Chinese and native Philippines healing concepts, including Hilot, the traditional Filipino healing massage.

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.
