We chatted with Steve Desobeau, Rosewood Hong Kong’s Director of Wellness, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Asaya is an innovative, integrated wellness concept focused on harnessing the powers of self-acceptance, discover, and connection to foster personal sustained growth.

Why You’ll Love It: Asaya at Rosewood Hong Kong goes beyond what is traditionally expected for the hotel spa experience and instead offers an authentic journey of well­-being and self-discovery. Asaya is the Rosewood brand’s own innovative and integrative concept, and our urban outpost at Rosewood Hong Kong offers alternative therapies, lifestyle and nutrition coaching, educational wellness programming, fitness activities, specialist healing treatments, and a unique opportunity to socialize through wellness.

Offering locally inspired, culturally authentic experiences Asaya focuses on five key components of holistic wellness—emotional balance; fitness and nutrition; physical therapies; skin health; and community. This unique combination of offerings has made our facility one of the top wellness destinations in the city, and we’ve attracted a strong following of locals who repeatedly enjoy our facilities along with our guests.

Developed in close consultation with Asaya’s expert practitioners and visiting specialists, as well as being based on an individual or group’s unique fitness and lifestyle goals, Asaya’s Signature Programmes combine the best traditional and alternative therapies to treat and heal, or inspire and empower, to achieve positive change.

Asaya offers a carefully curated experience that is tailored to each guest.

Key Features: Asaya offers world-class wellness facilities spread out over an expansive two floors on levels 6 and 7. The facility is home to 11 treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a 25-meter-long outdoor infinity pool. Set on level 6, the spacious landscaped deck at the pool promises glittering, serene views of Victoria Harbour. Our property is also home to two special Asaya Lodges on level 7 that offer guests accommodations that combine the luxury stay of Rosewood with the wellness amenities of Asaya.

Insider’s Tip: While visiting Asaya, ensure you experience our Laconium—a large dry heat chamber which offers heated therapy based on the dry sauna, which is the best way to detox your body, clean it, and increase the immune system before or after the treatment.

Also, the guest can blend their own aroma oil prior to the 90-minute Aroma Atelier Massage, which is exclusive to our guests enjoying an extended experience with us at Asaya.

Bonus:  Guests can expect a personalized assessment and a welcome drink upon arrival. Appreciating that the meaning of the word Asaya is rooted in “understanding where you came from,” our assessments are essential to defining each guest’s uniquely personal intention and determining their full wellness potential. More importantly, the guest can enjoy the bath house prior to the treatment, and a cup of herbal tea at the Tranquility Lounge after the treatment.

Guests can relax and enjoy quiet time in Asaya’s Tranquility Lounge.

Snacks Served: Rosewood Hong Kong is home to the 120-seat Asaya Kitchen, serving wholesome, health-conscious fare that respects responsible sourcing from the sea, as well as careful cultivation of the soil. A recently debuted limited-time menu by Chef Fabio Nompleggio—the “Dorado Menu”—offers Mediterranean cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, fisheries, and food artisans.

Splurge Treatment: One of our top luxurious treatments for guests is the TriBella™ by Venus Concept. New and exclusively from Venus Versa™, this 90-minute treatment is the most complete facial therapy from one versatile device. Using three applicators with distinct modes of action, TriBella™ is the ultimate skin rejuvenation treatment combining RF, IPL, and skin resurfacing in one treatment.

The hydrotherapy pool offers stunning city and water views.

Unique treatment: Some of our most unique treatments come from our Well-Women Treatment Series, which specifically targets women for pre and post-natal care and well-being. In partnership with the city’s leading pre and post-natal holistic specialists Restoring Mums, Asaya ensures that feminine health and well-being are carefully nurtured for future or current mothers with curated treatments designed to support fertility, pregnancy, and the transition into healthy aging.

The slimum®️ for Asaya Post-Natal Massage I is a 90-minute treatment utilizing Restoring Mums’ signature technique of abdominal binding for optimal results. This treatment includes a warming jamu herbal mud masque and sumptuous warming oil massage to boost the thermogenic effect on the postnatal body, followed by abdominal wrapping in organic linen, a process that helps re-establish the muscles and restore connective tissue for quicker postpartum recovery.

The treatment menu features a wide variety of services from high-tech facials to massages.

Insider’s Favorite: I personally fell in love with the facials from Dr Barbara Sturm. Their treatments and products are renowned for their anti-inflammatory philosophy with non-invasive techniques which I find very interesting for gentlemen, given that there are rather limited spa offering facial treatments for males in town. The product texture and immediate result feel is definitely a must-try!

The hotel’s two signature Asaya Lodges are ideal for contemplative, regenerative stays in conjunction with a fully customizable treatment program.

Featured Products: Asaya includes products from top and innovative skincare and wellness brands including Dr. Barbara Strum, Votary, EviDenS De Beauté, GROUND Wellbeing, Restoring Mums, TiN5, Hibernicis, GOA Skincare. Products are also available to be purchased on Rosewood Hong Kong’s online shop.
