Stretching across two floors of Macau’s Grand Lisboa Hotel, The Spa at Grand Lisboa is a hub of relaxation and rejuvenation. From the moment you enter on the fifth floor — conveniently located right by the Roman-inspired pool — you’ll feel your stress begin to melt away.
In the feminine foyer, the red and black Victorian-era décor complements a glittering light installation. Your personal check-in however, takes place in a modern pod — complete with faux fur details and leather seats.
You’ll enjoy green peach tea and a warm towel as your therapist inquires about your goals and any areas of concern. After evaluating your responses, she’ll suggest one of 13 different aromatherapy oils — possibly lavender and mint to uplift; Light Relax Body Treatment oil to unwind; or Support Equilibrium Body Treatment oil to balance your mind and body — to accompany your customized treatment. Then you’ll be escorted to the relaxation zone, where the opulent experience begins.
- The 13
treatment rooms are beautifully decorated with mosaic tiling and wooden
shutters to minimize the daylight.
- There
are six Private Heaven suites, so called because they include Vichy experience
showers with soothing settings like “steam shower” and “tropical rain.”
- The
couple’s rooms feel endlessly romantic with gold and white mosaic walls, twin
massage beds and an inviting tiled Jacuzzi. For the best of the best, reserve
the Lisboa Villa — this deluxe space promises views of the Macau-Taipa Bridge,
a private Jacuzzi and an experience shower.
- Your
wish is the spa’s command. If you need tea, refreshments or even a hair
straightener, just ask.
- Every
treatment includes bonus pampering, including a 10-minute relaxation ritual — a
hands and feet cleaning and massage before the treatment even begins — and the
five-minute “wake up” ritual to gracefully conclude the experience.
- Before
and after treatments, you are invited to relax in the spa’s shared water therapy
zone on the fifth floor. Here, you’ll find a rhassoul sauna, a crystal steam
room, hot and cold experience showers, ice fountains and more.
- There’s
a private elevator that separates the public facilities from the reservation-only
lounges.
- After
your treatment, there’s no rush to leave your private suite. In fact, you’re
encouraged to linger and make use of the Jacuzzi or steam room.
- The Macau
spa is open from 8 a.m. to midnight, so you can enjoy a relaxing treatment
whenever it fits into your schedule.
- After
your service, savor your preferred tea — green peach, ginger, lemongrass,
ginger, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lemon or black— and a plate of dried fruits and
nuts while you transition back to the real world.
- The Grand Lisboa Signature Ritual is not to be missed.
In this 90- or 120-minute treatment, a therapist uses a blend of Chinese and
Swedish massage techniques and all-natural essential oils to alleviate any
tension from work, sports or long-haul travel.
- The luxury
spa is also well-known for its wide array of massage techniques, including hot
stone, Thai-style (including lots of passive stretching), tui na (a form
traditional Chinese acupressure), pressure-point and Swedish, among others.
- For
something a little different, try the Vichy Shower Massage to luxuriate on a
warm marble shower table while multiple shower heads knead you from head to toe.
- The
expansive wellness center stretches across 10,000 square feet, including a gym,
spa, salon and pool.
- Three of
the 13 treatment rooms boast personal Jacuzzis. Not only are these whirlpools
powerful with a dozen jets each, but they are also beautiful thanks to a lining
of gorgeous jade mosaic tiles.
- On the
fifth floor, you will find a compact gym with a set of cardio machines, free
weights, circuits and a tension-cable Kinesis machine.
- The
outdoor pool is another highlight. Channeling an ancient Roman bath, the heated
swimming hole is encircled by towering columns and a spectacular waterfall.
- Before you leave, swing through Le Salon for professional hair services, including cut, color and just-because blowouts at the hands of celebrity stylist Carr Cheng.
