crème de la crème of the spa world establishments that were readers' overall

As a pioneer of the tropical spa, award-winning Banyan Tree Spa Phuket
continues to introduce new treatments that incorporate the Asian holistic
approach. These wins bears testimony to its combination of massages, body
treatments and facials, carried out amidst the enchanting sights, soothing
sounds and entrancing fragrances of nature at Banyan Tree Phuket.
Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai, located in the Westin Shanghai at Bund Center,
unveils cutting-edge spa concepts specially customised with traditional
Chinese Five Elements philosophy.
The time-honoured Wu Xing or Five Elements symbolise the life forces
present in all existence on earth and are the manifestations of Yin and
Yang. The five elemental energies, Earth, Gold, Water, Wood and Fire,
coupled with the union of Yin and Yang, form the main roots in the ancient
Chinese tree of well-being. This belief is the basis that guides the proper
application of traditional Chinese herbal remedies.
Banyan Tree Group continues to pursue the highest standards and
innovations in the spa field, through its product development and associate
training at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket. Specially trained
therapists undergo at least 300 hours of training at the Spa Academy before
being posted to one of the Banyan Tree Group's 48 spas all over the world.
Since 1997, Banyan Tree Group has won more than 200 awards and accolades
conferred by international leading publications and travel associations for
both its spas and resorts. The flagship resort, Banyan Tree Phuket has also
recently won the Best Resort - Asia Pacific at the Business Traveller Awards
2005.
