Newest seasonal wellness treatments in Hong Kong to pamper yourself with

The Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong presents a digital detox retreat designed to relieve the strains that a digital lifestyle can have on the body and mind. The 120-minute treatment begins with a footbath, reflexology, and scrub, followed by a massage combining traditional Chinese medicine techniques and Azorean aromatherapy oils to calm the nervous system and reduce stress.

Since electronic screens emit harmful blue light, a facial sheet mask and serum will be applied to heal the light’s impact on the face by promoting cellular regeneration. Finally, the treatment wraps up with a head massage to induce a deep state of relaxation. If you’re anything like us and are constantly being shamed by your weekly screen time alert, this retreat will be perfect for you. The Ignae Digital Detox Retreat costs $3,600 from Mondays to Thursdays, rising to $3,800 from Fridays to Sundays.

In honour of Global Wellness Day on June 8, Mandarin Oriental locations around the world will be conducting their digital wellness initiative to help manage our relationship with digital technology and the stresses of always being connected. On the day itself, MO spas worldwide will offer a series of free activities to encourage disconnecting from tech and embracing new wellness routines. These include outdoor yoga classes, guided social runs, fitness and dance activities, and guided meditations across Mandarin Oriental and the Landmark Mandarin Oriental.

Starting on Global Wellness Day, Chuan Spa at Cordis, Hong Kong will be offering a week of wellness activities designed to guide urbanites towards a renewed sense of balance. This range of activities include a Chuan Breathing Ritual, a poolside Tai Chi class with a master, singing bowls, stretching, yoga, and a sip and paint session with the Eve Bliss team where you’ll get to design your own eco-friendly tote bag. All sessions are available to hotel guests and the public on a complimentary, first-come-first-served basis. Register your interest and the spa will contact successful applicants.

The Mira Hong Kong’s latest wellness experience allows guests to ground themselves in nature right in the heart of the city. Inspired by the practice of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, a certified forest therapy guide will bring guests through the greenery of the nearby Kowloon Park. The 75-minute mindful walking meditation session will urge you to slow down and take in the city’s century-old banyans and majestic broad-leaf fig trees, as well as the various breeds of birds. To enhance the experience, guests can also have the option to tack on additional sessions like a back or foot massage using a forest-scented blend of Aromatherapy Associates products, or even a three-course wellness lunch at the hotel’s Whisk restaurant.

Participants are also given unlimited access to The Mira’s wellness facilities on the day, including an indoor infinity pool, steam room, Jacuzzi, heated waterbed lounge, as well as the gym. Priced at $650 per person or $1,240 for two, this wellness experience is available once a month on Saturdays and requires advance booking.

Rooted in the time-honoured traditions of Thai massage, the Touch of Thailand treatments at Asaya are designed to relieve aches and inflammation with gentle stretches and warm therapeutic herbal balls, applied with temperate pressure. Guests can expect to come out of the treatment room with improved flexibility, balance, and inner harmony.

The Touch of Thailand treatment is available until June 30 for $1,880, but the best way to enjoy it is with Asaya’s Thai Escape stay, where two people can spend a night unwinding in the Asaya Lodge. This staycation is inclusive of the 60-minute Thai massage, Thai breakfast for two enjoyed in the Urban Garden, and exclusive access to the Manor Club on the 40th floor plus other Asaya facilities. Thai Escape rates start from $13,560 and is also available until June 30.

Seasonal changes in the weather can mess with your skin, and the increased humidity from the recent wet weather can cause a spike in skin irritation and breakouts. This is why French beauty clinic EstheClinic is presenting an intense acne-busting programme for skin that is less than happy. EstheIPL’s pulses of light work to nix spots, and also stimulate collagen production, minimise pores, and erase acne scars, while the non-thermal blue and red lights of the LED treatment are able to kill acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores.

EstheClinic’s treatment uses both IPL and LED in a harmonious programme that targets different layers of the skin. Come out of the clinic with skin that’s de-stressed and boasts a higher cell metabolism rate. Prices start from $2,300 for a 75-minute session, but there is also a two-month pass available for $9,800.
