What’s new in the wellness world in August
How Green is Your Valley?
The new Ritz-Carlton Reserve Rissai Valley sits in the Tibetan Plateau’s Jiuzhaigou valley. The Unesco World Heritage site boasts natural beauty with fairytale lakes, towering mountains and untouched forests. You’ll go on hikes through the forest and try mindful Tibetan thangka painting while soaking up the scenery. Book into the resort’s Rissai Spa to try one of the centuries-old Tibetan healing practices on offer.
Find Your Zen
This one’s for the harried Hongkongers seeking serenity to maintain a balanced perspective and promote mental health and physical health. The new Energy Zen Retrea t at the Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula ticks many boxes. Held once a month from July to December, this full-day wellness programme takes guests “from heaven to sea”. After a nourishing breakfast, you’ll be guided through the resort’s lush forest to a yoga and meditation class. You’ll then enter a private villa for a healthy lunch, a dip in the pool and breathing exercises, as well as optional tai chi or BodyPump classes. The programme concludes with beachside yoga and a spot of gratitude journalling, before a final “sunset beach boogie”.
Glow for Gold
The Mandarin Oriental brings British cosmeceutical brand Oskia to Hong Kong via face-fortifying treatments and products to leave you glowing. The award-winning label is known for relaxing facials that deliver noticeable results without harsh procedures. Try the signature 75-minute Nutri-Glow facial , which incorporates soothing massage techniques and powerful ingredients to leave you pampered and luminous. Enhance your facial with Oskia’s supplements, such as their Super-C beauty capsules, loved by plenty of beauty mavens.
Bug off
Don’t let insect bites slow you down while on holiday. Hong Kong brand Parakito has launched a bite relief cream and a roll-on gel to stop itching and soothe the skin. The cream is designed to soothe and calm, while the gel contains menthol for instant cooling. Since both products are alcohol-free, they won’t sting when applied.
