Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has opened the Shangri-La Sanya Resort and Spa in Hainan, China, but the retreat's signature CHI spa is yet to be unveiled.

The hotel features 348 guestrooms in total and the spa, when it opens in December 2014, will have a total of 15 treatment rooms and 23 treatment beds: seven single suites and eight double rooms. Poolside and in-room treatments are also available for guests.

The 757sq m (6,028sq ft) spa will also feature two pools, a sauna, steamroom and whirlpool.

Offering a range of body treatments, facials and massages, the skincare solutions used in the spa will incorporate locally-sourced coconut oil and powder. The products used in the CHI spa are by Aroma Vera and Biodroga.

There is also a gym and an outdoor deck for yoga or tai chi at the resort.

The 300m (984ft) beachfront property houses 8,000sq m of recreational and sports facilities, including jogging and mountain bike trails, a football field, an archery range, sand volleyball courts and a range of water activities.

The resort has six food and beverage outlets, including an all-day-dining restaurant that features six live theatre kitchens - combining various southeast Asian and international cuisines - plus a liquid kitchen for beverages.

The hotel’s meeting facilities extend across two levels of the resort with a total area of 3,151sq m (33,917sq ft). This space comprises a grand ballroom and 10 function rooms.

Meanwhile in July 2014, Shangri-La’s Songtsam Retreat in Yunnan, China, opened a L’Occitane spa.
