Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has opened a spa resort on the tropical island of Boracay in the Philippines.
Overlooking the Tablas Strait at Punta Bunga Cove, on the northwest coast of the island, the 312-key Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay has been designed as a low-rise property with architecture designed to blend with the natural environment.
Sitting on a secluded, 200m private beach, facilities at the resort include a large, lifestyle spa, a 3,300sq m (35,520 sq ft), multi-level swimming pool and a health and fitness club.
Facilities at the 2,88sq m (3,100sq ft) Sagay spa include 10 treatment rooms – including four couples’ suites – a wet area with separate saunas for men and women and a relaxation spa lounge.
The concept for the spa has been developed around the five senses – sight, smell, sound, touch and taste.
The treatment menu includes a selection of facials, body scrubs and a collection of shiatsu, Swedish and deep tissue massages. There is also a collection of specialist treatments, such as Winback machine therapy – a tissue treatment based on a high-frequency current that oscillates between 300 kHz and 1 MHz – and Hilot massage.
Local ingredients are used in treatments, including cucumber, aloe vera and lemongrass.
Guests can also join yoga sessions on the beach.
“Our objective is to bring a lifestyle spa to the island,” a spokesperson told Spa Opportunities. “Our USP will be concentrated on bringing unique treatments and experiences to the destination.
“As part of our social responsibility, we'll give back to our local community and preserve our island with the support of sustainable local products.”
The resort will cater to families, using connected guestrooms, a large children’s pool, and the Little Birds Kids’ Club – part of the recently launched Mövenpick Family Programme, with a focus on cultural and environmental awareness and immersion.
“With its unique design and exclusive setting, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay introduces a new style of hospitality to this tropical island and supports our ambitious expansion plans in the Philippines and Southeast Asia,” said Olivier Chavy, president & CEO, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. “Boracay is fast emerging as one of Asia’s leading beach destinations and the time is right for Mövenpick to cement its presence in this location.”
