11 Luxury Retreat Hotel Spas Shanghai

If you’ve been to Shanghai, then you know how fast-pace life can be there. Moving around from East to West side of the river, Pudong and Puxhi, meeting to meetings, it’s like being in New York, always buzzing around with something to do and someplace to go. Sometimes it’s hard to just take a second, step back and enjoy the ride. Even if you go to the gym, or a restaurant there’s so much noise around you that you can’t really relax as you should. Here’s my go-to solution for this : hotel spas! It’s literally life changing, when you can spend a full day relaxing at a spa that is completely quiet, and meant for repos only. Unlike other places in the world, like Quebec that is renown for its water bath spas, Shanghai is very well equipped for downtime hotel spas. You’re welcome!



1. Bvlgari Spa

It’s a piece of heaven, tucked inside the luxurious Bvlgari Hotel. Enjoying a serene riverside location amid private parks and gardens, The Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai’s 2,000-square-metre spa and fitness centre is a harmonious retreat to balance the body, mind and spirit in elegant Italian style. A highlight of the Bvlgari experience, the Spa offers best in class beauty treatments using La Mer products, alongside rituals inspired by traditional Chinese medicine.

The BVLGARI Spa features eight spa treatment rooms, including the 2 Deluxe Couples’ Suite where guests can enjoy the luxury of a private sauna.The centrepiece of the Spa is a 25-metre indoor heated swimming pool, surrounded by statuesque columns recalling the grandeur of a Roman bath. Long strips of louvered teak line the ceiling while a ‘skylight wall’ incorporates natural sunshine to nourish the tropical interior garden.

They have endless treatment and spa packages that you can look at here.

2. Chuan Spa, Langham Xintiandi

When I first walked into this hushed haven of blissful indulgence, I finally understood what I was missing in my life. The spa sits on a relaxed piece of stone that leads to the massage rooms. You literally feel like you’re walking into the gated peace of Alice in Wonderlands garden. They pay special attention to the five elements, Chi, so expect woods, metals, and lots of water treatments. At Chuan Spa you can discover the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or experience the pure pleasure of a massage. I highly recommend this one for its aesthetic look and feel.
