Meliá Chiang Mai, an urban hotel that opened in April, has unveiled its YHI spa with a menu replete with treatments for women, men, and children such as massages that aim to combat cellulite, ease muscle tension and prevent hyperactivity.
Featuring seven treatment rooms designed in an underwater theme and a Thai herbal sauna and steam, the hotel’s spa is the third YHI Spa to open in Thailand. Meliá Hotels International’s signature spa debuted in Thailand at Meliá Koh Samui in early 2020 before Meliá Phuket Mai Khao launched its spa in late 2021.
YHI Spa’s 90-minute signature treatment starts out with Tok Sen, an ancient Northern Thai massage that relaxes the muscles with the rhythmic tapping motion of a wooden hammer and stick made from a tamarind tree. The treatment transitions into a unique Spanish massage that strives to reduce cellulite, tighten the skin’s flabbiness, and relieve fatigue, tension, and muscle spasms.
The “360° Spa Signature Treatment” comprises 45 minutes of yoga and meditation, a 30-minute herbal blended steam, a 90-minute aromatic massage with Thai rice compress balls, and a 360° cuisine set menu created via a cooking process to minimize food waste and reduce greenhouse emissions.
YHI Spa pays tribute to Thailand with massages such as “Traditional Thai” that focuses on the body’s pressure points and “Thai Lanna”, underscored by a Thai herbal ball compress massage to relieve aches and pain. Other 60 and 90-minute massages include anti-stress, aromatic, deep tissue, detox, and foot massages.
Various body exfoliation, body wrap, and facial treatments are on offer to nourish and brighten the skin such as a “White Tea and Camellia Body Polish” and the “Ageless Facial Treatment” that incorporates natural antioxidants from water lily, licorice and cactus extracts.
YHI Spa’s treatments are based on organic Thai wellness brand HARNN’s products, made with natural ingredients via methods handed down the generations of Thai artisans.
The manager at Meliá Chiang Mai YHI Spa is Pornphan Chumjai, a professional with almost 15 years of hospitality wellness experience, and a passion for leading teams of spa therapists.
