Among its signature experiences are the Traditional Philippine Hilot and the Royal Hammam, which reflect the spa’s commitment to authentic, heritage-based healing.
The Traditional Philippine Hilot (Php 8,200/120 minutes) is an ancient Filipino massage which uses banana or tuba-tuba leaves to identify and release blockages in energy flow, help push out toxins, and protect the body from external elements such as wind or cold.
The experience incorporates virgin coconut oil infused with ylang ylang or lemongrass and begins with a warming foot bath known as “suob.” This is followed by a head and shoulder massage called “hingut-an.” The ritual continues with the hilot massage itself and concludes with a calming serving of ginger tea.

For a revitalizing bath ritual, Chi, The Spa offers the Traditional Hammam, a 60-minute Turkish-style treatment priced at Php 4,000. This full-body experience combines a purifying body scrub and a rich foam massage designed to soften muscles and refresh the senses.
Guests seeking a more indulgent escape may opt for the Royal Hammam (Php 6,500/120 minutes) that pairs the traditional hammam ritual with a full hour of Swedish signature massage to promote deep relaxation and renewed energy.

The spa’s scrub treatments are also popular choices. The Marine Body Scrub (Php 3,500/60 minutes) gently removes dead skin cells using mineral-rich ingredients such as seaweed and spirulina, making it ideal for days when the skin needs refining and renewal.
Meanwhile, the Chi Body Polish (Php 3,000/60 minutes) is a customizable body polish that allows guests to choose ingredients based on specific skin concerns such as cellulite, dryness, or detoxification, leaving the entire body feeling refreshed and smooth.
In addition, the “By the Dozen” e-gift package (Php 35,000), which includes two complimentary sessions when purchasing ten, allows guests to choose a 60-minute massage from Swedish, De-Stress, or Hilot treatments.
