CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La draws inspiration from the origins of the Shangri-La legend, a place of personal peace, enchantment and well-being. CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Tanjung Aru offers a unique spa design concept - a stand-alone "spa village" sits on an "island" connected to the hotel via a private causeway. Each of the eight villas has its own herbal steam room, spacious relaxation area and private changing room. A private yoga pavilion with a deck extending out over the South China Sea offers spectacular sunset views. Traditional Borneo treatments on the spa menu are plant-based in nature, energy aware and reflect the multi-cultural heritage of the region. CHI, The Spa at Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa was voted "Best Spa in Malaysia" in the SpaFinder 2009 Readers' Poll. In traditional Chinese philosophy, "chi" or "Qi" is the universal life force that governs well-being and personal vitality. For people to maintain good health, it is believed that "chi" must flow freely within the body and, when blocked, "dis-ease" and illness follow. Movement is therefore a key element in releasing blockages. Body massage, exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, and movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to assist the body's natural renewal and form the basis of the CHI spa philosophy.
