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 village, CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Mactan allows guests to enjoy the privacy and luxury of an enchanted world of six spacious couple’s villas and eight garden suites, along with a private garden patio, sunken tub, herbal steam room and shower.  From the calm serenity of the Spa's welcoming Sanctum, guests enjoy the experience of the unique CHI Water Garden Pavilion, featuring vitality hydro pools, herbal steam rooms, and body scrub salas as a prelude to a relaxing and revitalising body massage.  The spa pool and gardens are an ideal setting to enjoy treatments or yoga.

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.
