Bliss Spa, W Hong Kong
Monica Tindall
Bliss Spa at W Hong Kong provides luxurious services in an opulent setting. The facilities and treatment menu are comprehensive and offer a top-of-the-range experience in terms of products, technology and service. I recently spent a day here and would return in a heartbeat.
Facilities
Taking roost on the top two floors, Bliss Spa’s facilities and treatment rooms benefits from spectacular views. On the rooftop, there’s WET, inclusive of a large pool, giant whirlpool and deckchairs overlooking the skyline and harbour.
On the same level, FIT is furnished with fabulous Technogym equipment, complete with digital monitors that track your performance, as well as water bottle and phone holders on each machine for convenience.
In the same space as the lockers and changing rooms, there is a range of wet and dry amenities, including a sauna, steam room, whirlpool, rainforest shower, and ice shower. Thoughtful details such as a bathing suit spinner to extract most water from your swimwear and the provision of luxurious robes, slippers, towels, hair nets, and disposable underwear don’t go unnoticed either. The good news for hotel guests is that these facilities are complimentary. I can’t get enough of the whirlpool, and I take the chance for a daily dip following a workout in the well-equipped gym. Visitors booked in for a spa treatment can also access these, and some packages even include time by the pool and the opportunity to use the fitness room.
The treatment rooms are located on the floor below, accessed via the reception and small retail area. Both single and couple rooms are available. Each is spacious and decorated with a modern and chic design that complements the overall vibe of the spa. The treatment beds are adjustable and heated, making them snuggly and extremely comfortable. There is also a relaxation room where guests can enjoy cold water, tea, and snacks while unwinding after their treatments.
Bliss Spa Menu
The extensive menu includes massages, facials and body treatments utilising the latest technology to maximise results. In fact, there are over 150 treatments on the menu, with the list constantly updated and cutting-edge services introduced. The philosophy of relaxation with results is evidenced in every detail.
Guests could come for a quick lunchtime service or make a day of a visit, as I did. The setting fully supports some “me” time, an intimate day out with your partner, or a special treat with a small group of friends. I sign up for three treatments and spend time in the magnificent facilities, ending the day with Champagne and some bites. It is one of the most rejuvenating days I’ve had in quite some time.
Vital Dome Experience
The Vital Dome Experience at Bliss Spa W Hong Kong is a unique and innovative treatment that uses Infratherapy to detoxify, slim, and relieve pain. Infratherapy uses infrared rays to penetrate the body and provide therapeutic benefits.
The Vital Dome is a state-of-the-art device that creates a soothing and relaxing environment. It is designed like a dome-shaped tent that guests lie down inside. The head is outside of the device, which I’m sure is a relief for anyone who might otherwise feel claustrophobic. The device uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves and far infrared rays to help activate and balance the body’s energy, promote detoxification, improve blood circulation, and reduce inflammation. The Infratherapy experience creates a deep and penetrating warmth that helps to relax the muscles, relieve pain, and rejuvenate the body.
The Vital Dome Experience at Bliss Spa W Hong Kong is available in two options, 45 minutes for HKD 980+ or 60 minutes for HKD 1,280+. It offers four built-in programs that are designed to meet different wellness goals. For example, the Ultimate Detoxification program is ideal for guests with insomnia, stress, and fatigue issues. In contrast, the Slimming & Toning program is designed to help guests improve their body shape and reduce premature skin aging.
After the treatment, it is recommended to drink plenty of water to replace the fluids lost during the session. The Vital Dome Experience is an excellent choice for guests who want to relax, detoxify, and rejuvenate their bodies and minds.
Japanese Healing Massage
The Japanese Healing Massage is also a must-try. The therapist uses long, deep purposeful strokes, releasing tension with every movement. It finishes with hot stones placed on the chest, neck, and shoulders, which feel wonderfully comforting. At the same time, a paraffin foot treatment nourishes feet, and a cucumber eye mask cools and reduces eye puffiness.
My therapist, Alina from Nepal, is confident in her practice. Her technique is master-level. My body and skin state guide her route. Instead of delivering a pre-planned path, she sticks to the destination but follows the road I need most. It’s a rejuvenating session, made even better by combining it with a facial.
360 Peel Mini Treatment + Facial
The 360 Peel Mini Treatment + Facial follows the standard facial program of cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, toning and moisturising but using cutting-edge technology and products for optimal results. Once again, Alina proves her worth supplementing the machine (similar to a dermabrasion nozzle) with a skillful technique. She passes the wand over the skin’s surface, ensuring each section gets a thorough treatment and paying additional attention to needier areas. While masks and serums are left to do their work, she continues to pamper with hand, neck and shoulder massages. As a true professional, she never leaves me unattended, and I finish feeling like a new person.
Packages at Bliss Spa
If choosing treatments from the menu is too hard, sign up for a *package at Bliss Spa and make a day of it! Packages include complimentary access to Hong Kong’s highest outdoor skyline swimming pool, excellent gym, and luxury spa facilities, including the harbour view vitality pool.
