The luxurious villa features Asian-inspired architecture, a poolside pavilion, includes a 70-inch flat screen television with Apple mirroring capabilities, and special spa amenities that include an exclusive range of organic bathroom products. During the Spa Villa Getaway, guests can choose from over 35 customized therapies drawn from ancient healing traditions, philosophies, and rituals of Asia, including traditional therapies of the Philippines.
The overnight experience is set within the resort’s exquisite CHI, The Spa, which sprawls over 10,000 square meters and hosts private spa treatment villas, gardens, pools and baths.
One of the spa’s treatment highlights is Philippine Hilot, a treatment based on ancient diagnostic methods passed down through generations of Philippine culture. During the treatment, warm coconut oil and banana leaves are placed over the body, and the healing hands of the Hilot practitioner detect areas of energy imbalance and blockages.
Additional treatments include luxurious body scrubs, traditional massages, facials, hair, and body treatments. Guests of the private Villa Manumbalik can also enjoy the resort’s 13 hectares of greenery, landscaped gardens, two pools, 350-meter white sand beach, and the Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary—which features a wide diversity of marine life in its coral reef.
A dedicated butler is on hand 24 hours a day to assist with arrangements, including organizing a complimentary and exclusive water yoga flow session. The low-impact activity adopts the posture and principles of yoga, focusing on breathing and mindfulness in an aquatic environment.
The one-bedroom Manumbalik Villa is unique within the spa and comes equipped with its own steam room, outdoor tub, and vitality pool.
Curated for two, the rate for the Spa Villa Getaway costs $2,394 USD per night. For more information and to make a reservation, visit the resort’s website or email: chi.mac@shangri-la.com. Follow them on Instagram: @shangrilamactan
