A Nature-Inspired Sanctuary in Sha Tin

These suites ensure utmost privacy for guests, with rain showers and whirlpool tubs where they can rinse off and soak between treatments.
Away from the cosmopolitan hustle in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, Melo Spa serves as a countryside wellness retreat, where guests can experience a few moments of serenity. With a curated menu of natural treatments and packages, Melo Spa is a relaxing sanctuary for quiet getaways.

FACILITIES
Melo Spa stands out for its simplicity, both in its treatments and its facilities. The spa shares heat and water facilities with the Hyatt Regency’s own Fitness Centre but holds its own when it comes to the quality of its in-house features, services, and treatments.
The highlights of Melo Spa are the nine all-inclusive spa suites, four of which include terraces with breathtaking mountain views. Each private suite comes with its own rain shower for rinsing off between treatments, as well as a soaking tub for indulging in any of the spa’s hydrotherapy baths.

Ingredients in the face and body treatment include locally sourced fruits as well as minerals and infusions of precious stones, while Eastern and Western techniques are applied for physical treatments.
The award-winning Melo Marmalade stands out as the spa’s signature body treatment. Here, a decadent yet freshly prepared mixture of Sha Tin pomelo, local honey, brown sugar, orange and lemon is applied to the body as a revitalizing polish that leaves skin soft and smooth.
Similarly, the Melo Signature Massage also uses citrus fruits grown in Sha Tin, which are infused in the spa’s own massage oil blend. The techniques used in this massage are personalized to the guest’s needs, and the combination of touch and scent enhance the relaxation benefits.
The Melo Meridian Massage, on the other hand, incorporates a meridian stick to stimulate the meridians of the body using principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The Welcoming Experience
With its lush treatments and amenities, Melo Spa positions itself as one of the newest additions to the growing list of luxury spas in Hong Kong. Melo Spa’s simplicity conveys a charm all its own, befitting its green surroundings in Sha Tin.
The spa experience alone is worth the trip up north to the New Territories for a much-needed urban getaway. Melo Spa’s suites guarantee privacy and spaciousness, and the natural treatments rely more on proven results than gimmicky ingredients or complicated machines.
Once you emerge from the treatment table at your spa suite, you will feel refreshed and energized, both in body and mind. Perhaps it’s the scent of various fruits, spices, and herbs in your treatment, or the gentle yet firm touch of the therapists administering your treatment, but a session at Melo Spa will definitely renew your senses.
