Sense, A Rosewood Spa, an exquisite and transformative spa experience on the paradise island of Hainan.
April 03, 2018
Rosewood Sanya recently opened in August, 2017 and is the first mainland China resort of the ultra-luxury Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®.
The resort offers Sense, A Rosewood Spa, an exquisite and transformative spa experience on the paradise island of Hainan. The spa experience uses indigenous plants and fruits within the treatments to ensure guests a true body and soul journey of discovery. Sense, A Rosewood Spa is a serene sanctuary for guests searching for an escape from the stress and hectic life of the city.
Rosewood Sanya’s Sense spa treatments are derived from lost remedies and the ancient wisdom originating from the Li people of Hainan from the Song and Yuan Chinese dynasties. During these times, the Li people relied heavily on the use of local herbs and therapeutic botanicals to aid the healing arts. Of the 30 treatments, a few signature therapies are shared below.
Hainan Island Therapy
The Li people used the traditional Bian therapy techniques even today in their healing practices. Used for over 2,000 years, this therapy uses a Bian stone combined with bamboo tools to apply acupressure-style healing with scraping and rolling techniques which encourage blood flow, and stimulates self-healing. Bian stone and bamboo therapy helps to soothe and calm the nerves, relaxes the mind, and promotes micro-circulation and muscular elongation which regulates and relaxes the body. Pressure-scrapping, rolling, and acupressure massage closely model infrared and ultrasonic physical therapy techniques which are prevalent in today’s modern medicine. Hainan Island Therapy is an honored traditional healing experience for anyone that needs overall balance and improved body circulation and elimination.
Sanya Impression
The Sanya Impression is both detoxifying and invigorating. The traditional Li people used natural herbs to help heal the body from the inside out. Rosewood Sanya’s Sense spa uses full body poultice treatments (herbal pillow wraps) which are modelled after the ancient herbal blends to heal the body, drain toxins and improve blood flow. Key ingredients include guava leaves, clausien alansium leaves, peppermint leaves and lemon grass. The herbs are picked and steamed to help release their natural healing properties. This is an ancient cleansing treatment and improves all organ functions, enhances immunity and balances the endocrine system.
Li Bathing Ritual
Sanya culture celebrates women, beauty, and nourishment of the mind and body. This is shown through the long honored bathing ritual, where women celebrated the art of self-care and self-nurturing. This traditional Lost Remedy allows you the opportunity to experience traditional Li bathing as women did thousands of years ago. Enjoy a therapeutic wrap with herbal powders of pearl, turmeric, papaya, black pepper, nutmeg, lime and green tea. Enjoy this traditional healing paste used by the Li women to cleanse and prepare the body for rich and creamy body hydration of blended herbs and coconut oil. A lost remedy you will never forget.
Spa Suites
Enhance your treatments and escape into the indulgent privacy of Sense spa suites while the interiors are beautifully decorated with muted tones of beige for a calming influence. Four single and two double treatment rooms, and a signature spa suite await you with a menu of over 30 specialized relaxing, therapeutic, energizing, preventative, healing, or balancing treatments.
