Bengaluru, 17 April 2024) The award-winning Chi The Spa at Shangri-La Bengaluru invites guests to escape the ordinary and embark on a transformative Philippine odyssey from 15 April to 15 May 2024. Noemi Novela from Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu is taking over residence at Chi The Spa at Shangri-La Bengaluru. This exclusive pop-up promises a journey unlike any other, restoring balance and harmony with a touch of tropical luxury.

During this limited time, guests can experience traditional Filipino treatments rooted in ancient energy healing practices, including the renowned Philippine “Hilot”. Noemi, a seasoned physical therapist with over 14 years of experience at Chi The Spa in Mactan, specialises in traditional Filipino therapies. Her focus on positive energy aims to convey a sense of healing with each treatment.

Central to the experience is the Philippine “Hilot”, a sought-after massage technique that relies on ancient diagnostic methods passed down through generations. Using virgin coconut oil and warmed banana leaves, Noemi detects areas of energy imbalance and blockage to restore harmony and balance within the body.

Those who seek relaxation can take their indulgence a step further by seamlessly combining the traditional “Hilot” massage with the ancient art of Ventosa, using suction cups to boost circulation and release muscle tension. Enhanced with the refreshing scent of lemongrass, this experience promotes detoxification and revitalization.

Derived from the lush hills of the Philippines’ northern region, the Barako Coffee Bean Scrub offers a revitalising experience. This treatment blends freshly ground Barako coffee with dried coconut, renowned for its natural detoxifying and stimulating qualities. The powerful combination of caffeine and tannin actively targets excess fluids and diminishes the appearance of cellulite, leaving the skin irresistibly smooth and glowing.

For a complete Philippine experience, patrons can delight in the “Journey to Cebu” package. This opulent experience begins with the invigorating Barako Coffee Bean Scrub, followed by the deeply relaxing Philippine “Hilot” massage.

Prices start from INR 6,200 and vary depending on the chosen treatment and duration. For more information, guests may call (91) 80 4512 6100 or email [email protected]
