"True to Shangri-La's Hong Kong roots, the atmosphere at CHI, The Spa feels distinctly Asia-inspired. Entering the standalone space—accessible from the nearby souk or via buggy from the hotel lobby—is like to walking into another secret world. The intimate space boasts dark wood furnishings with pops of burgundy: a truly enchanting setting in which to explore ancient healing methods. Some treatments use locally inspired products like camel milk, lemons from Fujairah, solar salts from the Arabian sea, and dates from Ras Al Khaimah. And if you're looking to elevate your Abu Dhabi journey and have some extra cash, the Wellness Journeys and Arabian Hammam Rituals, the most elaborate of the treatments, are well worth the high prices." - Melinda Healy
