Lead with The Björk if you have time. The CBD oil and dual-technique approach make it the deepest dive into the menu, and the Furin wind bells add a layer of sound that turns a treatment into something closer to a meditation. The facial finishings run six ways, so you can target brightening or oxygenating or lifting instead of taking the house default.
You step off the elevator on the 4th floor and the spa reception already smells different: a blend of five aromatic oils, organic and layered, not the usual single-note hotel lavender. The scent shifts your breathing. The rooms continue the earthy-elements palette the hotel favors, and each treatment space reconfigures to match the service, so a Thai massage setup looks nothing like a facial bed arrangement.
The Björk is the signature: 90 minutes at THB 4,900 or 120 minutes at THB 6,500, before tax and service. The treatment combines Swedish flow with deep tissue precision, and the oil is CBD-infused, so the cannabinoid works through the skin while the therapist works through the muscle. The real atmospheric anchor is the sound. Japanese Furin bamboo wind bells hang in the room, and the chimes layer over the therapist's rhythm, filling the silence without overwhelming it. If you want traditional Thai massage (Nuad Thai, the UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritage treatment), the menu offers The Goldilocks Effect, which is the adjustable-pressure version: you set the intensity, the therapist calibrates. The David Brent targets office posture and desk-related tension points specifically.
Facials lean on Biologique Recherche for the skincare backbone and let you choose from six finishing options: moisturizing, purifying, lifting, brightening, oxygenating, radiance. You pick the one your skin needs that day, not the one the spa decides is universal. Nail care covers the standard ground and express versions finish in under 45 minutes. The spa pours herbal mocktails during treatments, so you stay hydrated without breaking the sensory thread.
Book by phone or email; appointments are recommended. The spa also designs bespoke experiences for couples, bridal parties, and small groups, with private spaces and personalized treatment sequences. Hours run 10AM to 10PM daily, so you can book a treatment before dinner or after a late checkout.
