There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with living in Hong Kong. It is not just the long hours or the humidity – it is the relentless hum of the city, the way your shoulders creep toward your ears without you noticing, the vague sense that your qi (if you believe in that sort of thing) is a little topsy turvy. I arrived at the Four Seasons Hong Kong spa feeling, if I am honest, a little under the weather. Not unwell enough to cancel, but decidedly off. Stuffy. Fo

HONG KONG There is a woman you probably know. She is capable and composed. She shows up. She makes plans, sends voice notes, and takes care of the people around her. And behind a closed door — one you have never been through — something is happening that she has not yet found the words for. Or perhaps she has the words, but not the belief that anyone will listen. This is not a rare story. According to data, around one in four women are affected by domestic abuse. Not one in a

HONG KONG In the lead-up to Mother’s Day, All About You Centre is hosting a reflective, women-focused workshop that explores one of the most formative relationships in a person’s life: the bond with their mother. Titled Healing Our Maternal Blueprint, the session will be led by Sonia Samtani, a clinical hypnotherapist known for her work in emotional wellness and subconscious healing and the founder of All About You wellness centre. Taking place on May 9, 2026, the day before

TEGERNSEE There is a specific kind of silence that exists only within the walls of a Lanserhof property - a hush so profound it seems to vibrate. Whether it is the salt-misted dunes of Sylt or the original, intimate mountain refuge in Lans , the sensation is the same: you aren't merely checking into a clinic; you are surrendering to a high-tech monastery for the modern soul. However, it is at Lanserhof Tegernsee , nestled in the Bavarian Alps, where this philosophy finds its

HONG KONG In a city where wellness often leans heavily on high-tech diagnostics and trendy treatments, Upper House Hong Kong is taking a refreshingly holistic turn. The hotel has partnered with Chain’s Medicare Centre to introduce its first Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) residency, blending centuries-old healing wisdom with modern wellbeing practices.

INTERVIEW In a city where apartments are compact, schedules are relentless, and sleep often takes a backseat, Alex Ma saw an opportunity to do more than just sell mattresses — he wanted to transform how Hongkongers rest. The co-founder of Skyler , a homegrown sleep-wellness brand, recalls a seemingly ordinary trip to buy a mattress in 2015 that sparked a revelation: quality sleep shouldn’t come at a sky-high price, nor should it be a logistical headache in Hong Kong’s dense u

HONG KONG For those who view nail care not as maintenance but as ritual, we’ve curated a definitive edit of Hong Kong’s best nail salons and nail-focused spa experiences. These are the addresses that fashion insiders, beauty editors, and well-heeled regulars return to time and again — where technique meets taste, and indulgence is always the point. This article was first published on April 19, 2021, and was last updated on January 24, 2026. The Mandarin Spa – Mandarin Orienta

HONG KONG There’s a particular kind of pressure that comes with a guest room. You want it to feel generous without trying too hard; comforting, but not anonymous. Rather than assembling pieces piecemeal, we approached the room the way one might plan a wardrobe — starting with foundations, then layering. Skyler became our hero, offering a bedding system that felt considered rather than overdesigned. What follows is how the room came together — piece by piece — and why it now

HONG KONG There’s a certain pleasure in booking a winter hair refresh in Hong Kong. Unlike the summer months — when humidity hits and risks ruining any good blowout — winter in the city is unexpectedly kind. The air is crisp, the temperatures sit comfortably around 20 degrees, and for a brief, magical stretch, frizz loosens its grip. Hair behaves. And so, at the start of the cool season, I made my way to TONI&GUY Hong Kong on Wyndham Street for a much-needed reset. TONI&GUY

HONG KONG Luxury spa experiences can be transformative, but few leave a lasting impression quite like PEDI:MANI:CURE Studio by Bastien Gonzalez at The Oriental Spa Studio. While the flagship spa at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental undergoes renovations, the Bastien Studio has temporarily relocated to the fourth floor of Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong — a refined space that now also offers Pilates and yoga classes, transforming the venue into a serene sanctuary for total wellness.

HONG KONG There are beauty treatments, and then there are moments of full-on luxury , where every detail is carefully curated to make you feel pampered, polished, and utterly relaxed. My recent mani-pedi at The Mandarin Salon, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong , falls squarely into the latter category. I opted for the Shellac Manicure (HKD680) and Shellac Pedicure (HKD920) , choosing a classic red for my hands and a soft, light pink for my toes — timeless colours that feel equally

HONG KONG I’ve tried countless facials, from the classic European treatments to cutting-edge technology-driven therapies. But few experiences leave a lasting impression the way The Mandarin Salon’s new Hydrafacial x JLO Beauty Booster does. It isn’t just a facial — it’s a ritual, a carefully choreographed journey designed to leave your skin luminous, dewy, and utterly renewed. And yes, it lives up to the hype. The treatment begins with the familiar yet endlessly effective Hy

There comes a moment in every frequent traveller’s life when the glamour of late checkouts and well-timed upgrades gives way to something far more meaningful: the art of coming home to a bed that doesn’t just welcome you, but restores you. Heveya®, Hong Kong’s quietly influential eco-luxury bedding house, has built an entire philosophy around that feeling — the belief that sleep, done properly, should rival the comfort of a well-designed boutique stay. And this season, as Bl

HONG KONG Stepping into the Rossano Ferretti HairSpa at Asaya Hong Kong is akin to entering a sanctuary where haircare is elevated to an art form.
