TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE IN BEIJING

Give your clients the most authentic experience of Chinese healing in The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing. We are honoured to offer the services of one of the capital’s leading authorities in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dr. Lan Jirui.

Formerly an orthopaedic surgeon and now a lecturer on TCM at Peking University, Dr. Lan is trained in both Chinese and Western medicine. He has earned a loyal following in Beijing, thanks to his intuitive diagnostic ability, along with his propensity to merge therapies and sensibilities from East and West.

Dr. Lan offers private consultations and TCM treatments that span techniques from therapeutic massage and acupressure to cupping and scraping – restoring balance and well-being where the body needs it most.

In addition, we have just launched a comprehensive wellness program, including dance, yoga, Gyrotonic training and Miracle China cultural activities, such as tai chi, self-defence, calligraphy and ink painting. Available as group activities or combined in a personalized program, these options all focus on positive energy, wellness and vitality.

The Spa also offers an extensive list of beauty enhancement treatments and four distinct, revitalizing massages, including the award-winning Power of Tea Ritual.

Located on the sixth floor of Four Seasons, The Spa offers eleven plush treatment rooms, all arranged around an inner Tea Garden that soars 23 floors within a glass atrium. To deepen the relaxation, there are state-of-the-art fitness facilitates, a sun-lit pool and whirlpool with cityscape views, along with separate men’s and women’s wet wellness areas – each equipped with sauna, steam room, deluxe whirlpool and ice fountain.

To book an appointment with Dr. Lan or to arrange other experiences, please contact the Beijing Concierge.

SPORTS-RELATED MASSAGE IN LANAI

At Four Seasons Resort Lanai, we are highlighting a new series of sports-tailored massages, designed to enhance our range of Hawaiian island activities – including horseback riding, snorkelling, clay shooting, tennis, golf and more. It’s the perfect combination for clients who want both adventure and relaxation.

Our expert therapists at the Hawanawana Spa have designed the massages to address the most common patterns of muscle stress, while helping to prevent injury, speed up recovery, and prepare the body for peak performance.

  • Back-in-the-Saddle Sports Massage brings relief to soreness in the thighs, hips and back that might result from horseback riding at the Ranch at Koele. The ranch is the jumping-off point to explore wooded valleys and extraordinary upland terrain that’s home to axis deer, mouflon sheep and turkey.
  • Back-in-the-Swing Sport Massage focuses on areas that golfers stress frequently, such as the feet, legs, hips, back, torso, shoulders and hands. Book the massage after a round at the Jack Nicklaus Signature Manele Golf Course, affording ocean views on every hole. The five-tee concept challenges novices and experienced golfers alike.
  • Bounce-Back Sports Massage provides recovery for tennis players by focusing on muscles and joints impacted while playing at the Tennis Garden. We offer two outdoor Plexipave cushion courts and one Har-Tru green clay court and an array of clinics and programs.
  • Lanakila Sports Massage provides customized all-over muscle relief – ideal after snorkelling or diving in the ocean, mountain biking on red dirt roads, or hiking to panoramic vistas of neighbouring islands.

Brand new at the Hawanawana Spa is a selection of treatments created in partnership with KYPRIS, a luxurious line of holistic, high-performance skin care. The debut marks the introduction of the KYPRIS line to the Hawaiian islands. KYPRIS boasts the best of green bio-technology, blended with organic, wild-crafted and sustainably grown botanicals. We now offer three new KYPRIS treatments for the face and body.

For assistance in booking all these experiences, please contact the Lanai Concierge.

HEALTHY COOKING CLASSES IN AMMAN

For clients who love great food and invigorating outdoor adventures, cap off their trip to Amman with a cooking class at La Capitale, Jordan’s #1 restaurant, located at Four Seasons Hotel Amman.

There are so many world-famous activities to inspire your clients to book a trip to Jordan. It’s just 40 minutes to the Dead Sea where they can float on the planet’s saltiest body of water – or perhaps they’d prefer diving at Aqaba on the Red Sea. Plan a visit to the 2,000-year-old red-stone city of Petra, once buried in desert sands, and now one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Tour Jerash, one of the world’s largest and best-preserved sites of Roman architecture. Or arrange a day trip to the UNESCO-protected desert petroglyphs at Wadi Rum. Our Four Seasons team can make all the arrangements.

To balance off the excursions, plan time for relaxation here at Four Seasons with a cooking class and meal at La Capitale, a classic French bistro. Open for just over a year, La Capitale was recently named the best restaurant in Jordan by Condé Nast Traveller Middle East.

The restaurant’s Chef de Cuisine, Arthur Vonderheyden, leads the class in the restaurant’s open kitchen – putting the focus on healthy recipes. Starters might include Quinoa Salad, Beet Salad and Sea Bass Ceviche, while main courses feature Salmon en Papillote and Black Paella. The meals are as delicious as they are nutritious! And Chef Arthur makes the class a fun and energizing experience.

Afterwards, everyone can enjoy some resort-style relaxation. In our intimately scaled Spa, your clients can discover the relaxing, restorative benefits of Dead Sea mud wraps and salt scrubs. Or they can work out in the Fitness Centre – motivating with magnificent city views – before unwinding at our indoor and outdoor swimming pools. In warmer months, massages are available in a private cabana on the pool terrace.

For assistance in planning your client’s complete itinerary, please contact the Amman Concierge.
