Peninsula Ceremonies – Signature Body Treatments (90 minutes):
This array of treatment ceremonies, especially designed by ESPA for The Peninsula Spa, is intricate, sophisticated, and holistic. Begin with a Peninsula Tea Ceremony, an in-depth consultation, and a fresh ginger foot buff to promote spiritual grounding. A salt and oil body scrub follows, before warm ESPA oils are poured onto the body and hot volcanic basalt lava stones are used for intensive massage. Jade stones massaged on the forehead and scalp refresh the skin and restore tonicity. Herbal concentrates blended with heated body masks of oshadi clay, marine algae, or mud are smoothed on, and the body cocooned in natural linens. Acupressure facial massage helps revitalise the skin, and peace of mind is achieved with a luxurious Oriental head massage.
ESPA Ayurvedic Influence – Chakra Balancing with Volcanic Stones (90 minutes):
An herbal tea infusion and foot cleansing ritual begin the ceremony. Skin brushing, exfoliation and an express ESPA facial begin the treatment. Specific placement of volcanic stones on the energy centers achieves new balance and grounding. A total body massage with ESPA-blended aromatherapy oils and Ayurvedic herbal concentrate rebalance and re-energise.
Detoxifier Massage (50 or 80 minutes):
Detoxifying body oil is used with a blend of citrus oils, which have natural diuretic properties to flush away toxins.
Destressor Massage (50 or 80 mintues):
Specially blended soothing aromatherapy oils are used, which have relaxing and calming properties to help guests destress.
Jet-Lag Eliminator Massage (50 or 80 minutes):
This treatment helps to rebalance energy levels by lifting spirits with energising oil and relaxing the body into untroubled sleep with soothing oils.

“Definitely will return! WOW!”
Total elegance and superb service. We usually splurge on our last night of our vacations and this was a great choice. The deluxe harbor view suite with a view from all the rooms was ooh la la. We had two separate entrances and even a "luggage" room bigger than some other rooms we stayed in Vietnam, also with electronic controls for everything. Very upscale. We used their Rolls Royce airport pickup and that too was a treat. The sunset view alone from our jacuzzi bubble bath is one I will never forget. Thanks for the memories. A&V
“will go back”
Service is excellent.
“Would recommend to anyone I know.”
It is indeed one of the 10 best hotels in the world.
“Disappointed!”
Had a back-up in our bedroom from the sewage. gave us a low florr room and the condition affected many rooms on our floor to the best of our knowledge. Given the price we had to pay it was horrible when our bathroom was flooded with sewage!!
“what an amazing experience”
I have never experienced service and comfort like we did at the Peninsula Hotel. We decided to splurge and stay there and it was worth every penny. If you go, be sure to have high tea in the lobby (they have live music) and check out the spa/pool. Even if you don't want to swim, the view is spectacular--and the pool deck was the perfect spot to watch the light show over Victoria Harbour. You have to do this at least once in your life!
“Perfection”
Best service I have ever experienced. The spa was also top rate, but the sauna/steam area was a bit smaller than I had expected. The harbor view from the spa helped make up for it. The hotels restaurants were the best meals of the trip-specifically Gaddi's and Spring Moon. Get the peking duck at Spring Moon, I still dream about it. Also, having the hotels fleet of Rolls Royce pick you up or drop you off is worth the splurge.
