Pampering for the Body & Soul
Inspired by the mystical legend of Shangri-La, Chi Ayurveda Spa at Shangri-La Hambantota offers a sanctuary of peace, wellness, and rejuvenation. In partnership with South East Asia’s renowned Siddhalepa Group, the spa provides authentic Ayurveda treatments passed down through generations, designed to cleanse the body, remove toxins, and restore balance.
Guests can also enjoy traditional massages, aromatherapy, hot stone therapy, Sri Lankan and other Asian treatments, as well as beauty rituals using tropical ingredients. Set in a secluded area of the resort, the spa features twelve treatment rooms blending Shangri-La’s signature Chi style with local design elements.

Arrival Time
To fully enjoy your spa experience, please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. Upon your arrival at Chi, The Spa, you will be asked to complete a health consultation form. Please inform the therapist if you are pregnant or have any health issues.
Preparing for your treatment
For facials, ladies may wish to remove as much makeup as possible to allow their spa therapist more time to pamper and care for their skin. For men, we recommend not shaving less than 2 hours before having a facial for maximum comfort and benefit to the skin.
Privacy
Your personal privacy will be protected at all times during your treatment. Your therapist will ensure that you are professionally draped, covering all parts of the body not being treated.
Your Total Comfort is our Goal
Although we try to anticipate your needs, we appreciate that spa treatments are an individual experience. Please let your therapist know if there is any way that they can improve your treatment or comfort - for example, heavier or lighter massage pressure, an extra towel or adjusting sound or lighting levels.
In-room Massage
Please contact Chi, The Spa, for in-room treatment enquiries. Please note that not all treatments can be performed in guestrooms.
