Shangri-La Bengaluru is offering guests a unique wellness experience at CHI, The Spa through a special collaboration with CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu. Available until 29 June, the limited-period programme introduces authentic Filipino healing traditions that focus on holistic wellbeing, relaxation, and restoration.
The experience is centred around the Philippine Hilot, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated traditional therapies. Using warm banana leaves and virgin coconut oil, the treatment helps identify areas of tension and energy imbalance before employing specialised massage techniques to restore harmony within the body. Guests can also opt for the Philippine Hilot with Ventosa, a two-hour therapy that combines Hilot massage with traditional suction-cup techniques designed to improve circulation, ease muscular tension, and encourage detoxification.
Another highlight is the Baraco Coffee Bean Scrub, a full-body exfoliation treatment inspired by the coffee-growing regions of the Philippines. Made with Barako coffee and dried coconut, the scrub helps revitalise the skin while promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. For a complete wellness ritual, the Journey to Cebu package combines the coffee scrub with the signature Hilot massage, offering a restorative experience inspired by Filipino healing traditions.
The programme is led by Fhelma C. Truya, Senior Spa Therapist at CHI, The Spa, Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu, who brings years of expertise in holistic therapies and personalised wellness treatments. Her approach focuses on creating customised experiences that nurture both physical and mental wellbeing, while introducing guests to traditional Filipino healing techniques rarely experienced outside the Philippines.
The collaboration reflects Shangri-La Bengaluru’s continued commitment to curating immersive wellness experiences that draw from diverse Asian healing philosophies. By bringing a specialist therapist from Cebu to Bengaluru, the hotel offers guests an opportunity to experience authentic cultural wellness practices within the tranquil surroundings of CHI, The Spa.
Available daily from 11 AM to 8 PM, treatments start at INR 8,000++ and vary depending on the selected experience. The wellness programme will be available until 29 June, providing guests with a limited-time opportunity to discover the restorative traditions and therapeutic rituals of the Philippines.
