Set alongside the lush hillside of the Mandarin Oriental, Sanya, The Spa is a 3,200 square meter facility full of tranquility and serenity for the ultimate beachside pampering.

Digital Detox

Starting this past September, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group worked with the Mayo Clinic to promote a Digital Detox program in all its spas worldwide.

The detox explores ways to manage the relationships with technology and the stress that can come with a digital lifestyle.

With any treatment, guests are provided with wellness advice and activities to disconnect themselves away from technology.

Guests surrender their phones at the start of their chosen treatment. They are then given an opportunity to meditate, journal, take notes, or simply enjoy the silence. After the treatment, revitalized guests reclaim their device which is repacked in its own protective digital shielding.

Stepping away from the spa facilities, guests enter back into the digital world with a mindful knowledge of personal boundaries for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Guests can request for on-site trainers for private lessons. Beyond the walls, the resort provides outdoor tennis courts, water activities, and a jogging path around the property.

 

Gourmet Healthy Delights

To complete the encouragement of a healthy lifestyle, the resort offers Gourmet Healthy Delights in the menus of their restaurants.

The Wellness Gastronomy concept was created by a French naturopath, Liliane Israel. Working with the resort’s chefs, the menus in the Pavilion and Yi Yang offer mindful choices for dishes which are natural, unprocessed, and full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential nutrients. Light Delights help manage weight, while the Vitality Boost provides energy and nutrition levels.
