Amanoi Announces Line-Up of Visiting Wellness Specialists

Following the successful unveiling of two new Spa Houses and Wellness Immersions earlier this year, Amanoi has announced a roster of visiting wellness experts taking up residency at the resort during the coming months, bringing additional expertise and therapy options to compliment and support the Immersion programmes. Sharing knowledge and offering treatments across the wellness spectrum, these experts will make Amanoi, which is the only resort located within the 24,000 hectares Nui Chua National Park, a true self-contained oasis and sanctuary for holistic restoration and wellbeing, further building on the brand’s launch of Aman Wellness in 2016.

The verdant hills of Nui Chua National Park and pristine white beaches provide guests with the most soothing backdrop for these wellness experiences and numerous locations perfect for mediation, reflection and private movement classes. Amanoi’s visiting specialists will work with guests either within the resort’s recently launched Spa Houses or at the lakeside Aman Spa. Consultations, which will incorporate energy work treatments including craniosacral therapy, Reiki and Deeksha, as well as Integrative Touch, Mind Transformation and Shinkiko, can also be taken in the privacy of Guest Pavilions, Villas and Residences.

Ensconced by Nui Chua National Park on the shores of Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi embraces the Aman philosophy: peace, privacy and a sense of place, with a natural ambience that sets the scene for wellness retreats. Specifically designed for those wanting to truly immerse themselves in a wellness experience, Amanoi’s Spa Houses each provide comprehensive private spa facilities and the services of two specialist spa therapists dedicated to the needs of Spa House guests. The first of their kind in Asia, Thuy Lien Spa House and An Son Spa House each encompass a spacious double treatment room, a Jacuzzi, a steam room with an ice-fountain, and a cold plunge pool. The outdoor infinity pool is perched on a relaxation deck with views of the lake (Thuy Lien) or the rolling hills of the National Park (An Son). It is the thermal facilities however that really distinguish the two. Thuy Lien Spa House features a Turkish-inspired, marble-clad hammam at the core of its facilities, complemented by a traditional Turkish bath and steam room with a marble table on which massages, scrubs and other treatments can be enjoyed. An Son Spa House, by contrast, provides a Russian-inspired wooden clad banya, designed for the experience of wet or dry heat sessions, combining heat and steam to encourage perspiration. In addition to the wellness amenities, the Spa Houses can accommodate between two and four guests in the pavilions’ beautifully appointed bedroom and living areas, providing the option of residing overnight for a fully immersive experience.

An extensive spa menu offers treatments in three categories: Bodywork, Massage and Energy Work. Bodywork treatments are instructor-led and include a range of yoga and Pilates sessions, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, pranayama breathing, meditation and personal fitness classes. Amanoi’s comprehensive menu of specialised massage treatments are complemented by Watsu therapy, kinesiology, reflexology, Shiatsu, Chi Nei Tsang, lymphatic drainage, rolfing, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy and more.

As well as handpicking treatments from the extensive spa menus, guests also have the option to take part in Amanoi’s Individual Wellness Immersions which offer a deeper spa journey with focused goals and results. The personalised three to ten day immersions are designed to promote profound change, gently steering guests onto a new holistic path.

Whether residing in one of the Spa Houses, Amanoi’s five exclusive Residences, the resort’s 16 Villas or the 12 free-standing Guest Pavilions with panoramic views of the East Sea or National Park, every Amanoi guest can enjoy access to the 20,000 square-foot Aman Spa, itself a retreat within a retreat. One of the most comprehensive and innovative wellness facilities in Vietnam, the spa rests on the shores of a lotus-covered lake with terraced lawns leading to a lake-side yoga pavilion, five treatment rooms, hydrotherapy suites, a Pilates studio, a gym and several outdoor relaxation areas. Following treatments, guests can relax and let the effects of their treatment soak in at the resort’s Beach Club, with its 130-foot saltwater infinity pool and stretch of powdery white sand beach flanked by million year old rock formations.
