Where there was once merely up-scale hair salons that offered massage services on the side, there are now dozens of fully committed massage and beauty treatment centers city-wide. Here is a look at some of the more interesting and prominent players in the spa business, and their unique offerings.
Deserving of its location, Yang Spa provides 5-star treatment to its guests through a variety of spa packages. Located on the 1st floor below the lobby level , Yang Spa is ornately decorated and features name-brand Pevonia products. Of the 12 private rooms, four are couples rooms and two of those feature their own private saunas. A three-person room is complete with a sauna, steam room, shower, bath, and lounging area with a large television.
Everything from foot baths to facials to hours-long treatments are on the menu at Yang Spa. On a recent trip, I was fortunate enough to experience the Balinese Massage performed by the gifted Nengah.
My massage began with a hand towel soaked in lavender oil. As the view of Dushu Lake disappeared, it gave way to an orchid-scented massage table. The massage lasted one hour, and the list price was RMB. The savings on the plane tickets to Indonesia make this treatment one of the most popular. Foot baths and other treatments go for anywhere between RMB. There are frequent specials at Yang Spa, so call to find out what their current promotions are.
It has an impressive list of dozens of treatments, including massage, skin, face and eye treatments to reverse the stresses of work and city life. Their staff of professional, English-speaking masseuses is polite and adept at the treatments they offer.
