Spa Breaks
CHI, The Spa - 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 then is central to the CHI spa’s philosophy and is core to the treatments and therapies available; movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation and movement of the body through massage, exercise, stretching and hydrotherapy. Within the calm serenity of the Spa’s inner sanctum, guests can experience the unique CHI Water Oasis, featuring a vitality hydro pool, a herbal steam room, tundra and tropical showers, an ice fountain and a relaxation area.
