In March of this year, The Chedi joined the growing list of Phuket
resorts to add their own top-class Phuket spa. Mr Andre Kretschmann,
the Hotel General Manager, said "there is not a day when we don't
look for a way to make a stay at The Chedi more comfortable, unique
or more of a wonderful experience".
The Spa currently comprises four treatment rooms, all beautifully
designed with an exquisite use of marble, polished native woods
and authentic Thai textiles complementing the elegance of the whole
resort.
The personal touch is a mark of the resort and from the moment
you are greeted by Khun Paramee Wongprasert (Khun Bee), the Spa
Manager, on your arrival to stepping into one of the four treatment
rooms, you are treated as a revered guest.
Two rooms are for a single person taking a treatment but the other
two include two beds and are perfect for couples taking a private
treatment together. "The double rooms are very popular with the
guests, and often encourage the husband or boyfriend to try a treatment
at the same time", says Khun Bee.
The Chedi has designed five different therapeutic massages all
very reasonably priced starting from 900++ baht. Try the herbal
massage - a truly relaxing massage where fragrant herbs of chamomile,
nettles and ginger are applied with hot, wet towels to soothe even
the most tense of muscles, or the Swedish massage - a classic full-body
massage that invigorates the body and reduces tension at the same
time.
There are also three body scrubs, guaranteed to leave your skin
feeling fresh and vibrant. And the Special Thai Foot Care is the
ultimate in foot pampering - no visit would be complete without
this treatment.
But perhaps the ultimate in pampering is to try one of the two
Spa packages. The Exotic Spa package lasts two hours and begins
with a floral foot bath, followed by your choice of invigorating
body scrubs. Then relax in the out door floral plunge pool while
enjoying ginger tea and cookies before you finish your spa experience
with a massage using one of the Four-Elements oils.
The Spa has recruited some of the most experienced and skilled
spa therapists in Thailand, three females and one male to carry
out all these wonderful treatments and to maintain the high standards
set at The Chedi. "We have many return guests each year and we want
to provide them with the most rejuvenating and nurturing spa experience
right on our own property" commented Mr Kretschmann.
The aromatherapy oils used in the treatments are exclusive to The
Spa and are specially created using combinations of essential and
herbal oils such as tangerine, nutmeg and prai, a Thai ginger to
create the Four Elements Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. The initial
selection of the oil for your massage is matched to your individual
birth element. These products are available in the hotel gift shop
so that once you know which best suits your body's balance of elements
you can take your favourite one back home with you. Opening hours
are from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Reservations are required at least
one day in advance for non-residents of the hotel.
