In Chinese, “Chuan” means flowing water. It is seen as the source of life and balance, helping to renew, restore and rejuvenate.
Chuan Spa takes a holistic approach to wellness. We embrace the centuries-old healing philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). And our TCM-integrated treatments are based on the principles of Wu Xing, or the Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
With a blend of modern comforts, ancient therapeutic practices and flawless hospitality, Chuan Spa is the perfect place to restore divine balance in a fast-paced world.
