The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Macao
While heading to the appointment we got to thinking about how
all high-end spas all look very much the same these days. The
crucial difference lies in the quality of the treatment. Once at the
reception desk after a quick look at the Natura Bisse skincare
products and at Aromatherapy essential oils and scents, a secret
hope built up – this couldn’t be a waste of time.
Then the clock started to count – a change into one of Four
Seasons bathrobes and a look at the spa facilities: an ice fountain
to awake your senses after a steam or sauna (and close open
pores), followed by a shower infused with mentholated scents.
The same is available in the men’s quarters. So far, so good. In
the treatment suite, a hideaway for two, we bathe in the steam/
shower room and spend some time in the Jacuzzi tub. After
reaching a state similar to that of a zombie, we thought we were
ready: ‘Real Aromatherapy Experience’ massage (for him) and
the Oxygen Booster Facial (for her) which consists of a deep
cleansing treatment through the use of a blend of minerals and
seaweed combined with oxygenated ampoules and a mask.
We lay down for a 75 minute oxygen booster treatment and a
90 minute massage, our voyage of pleasure had begun. While
waiting for masks and creams to produce their effects on the
oxygen booster side, arm and leg massages were performed.
On the aromatherapy side, a deep sleep took over the patron, not
able to remember much of the treatment but able to recognize
how wonderfully it smelled at the beginning...
Comments: The loud ringing phone we could hear while chilling in the relaxation room didn’t help. This was in contrast
to the rest of the facilities, which were clean and modern and almost made us forget we owned phone and mail receiver
devices too.

diamond powder and other anti-ageing active ingredients such as frozen DNA, it is said to increase cryogenic effects
such as firming. Forty minute treatment – MOP 2,500
The Spa at Crown Macau
Yes, you can leave your body in expert hands and
return to find it supple, renewed, exuding a soft
sweet fragrance and lighter than ever. Among other
treatments, The Spa at Crown offers a 90 minute
treatment involving massage, scrubs, wraps, a Vichy
shower and a gold finish oil, all of it during a non-stop
full body and facial massage that will take away the
tiniest bit of stress one can accumulate. It all starts with
a pomegranate oil, full body massage, followed by a
body scrub and wrap. While the body wrap works its
magic, a facial massage gets under way with products
from SPA brand ELEMIS. Afterwards, it is time for a
soothing Vichy shower. Sprinklers are placed just
above the heated massage stone station where we lie.
Once cleaned, we are invited to an adjoining room
for a light steam. This marks the beginning of the
end of our voyage of pleasure. Finally, a last shower
and massage with a golden oil that leaves the body
gleaming. How hard it was to get back to reality…
Comments: A magnificent infinity pool on the 16th floor gives a breathtaking view of Macau - some consider it to be one
of the 10 most beautiful swimming pools in the world. Despite such a claim, when swimming, try not to look right when
facing the view of Macau, otherwise you’ll see a residential building rising a few metres next to the hotel. This is when you
might find that your privacy has been invaded, despite the fact that the windows on our level were tinted. And don’t look
down when leaning on the pool edge on the side of the windows: all you’ll see is wasteground covered in scrap.
