Time zone hopping comes with its physical toll. There is the fatigue of plane travel. Your internal clock has you watching TV at 3am and dozing off at dinner. There are pills you can take, or you can find your remedy at some of the best spas in Hong Kong. Many have jetlag combatants at the ready to help you relax, adjust to local time and get back to business. (Or back to shopping, as the case may be).

CHUAN SPA

Traveller’s Retreat

Chuan Spa’s solution to fighting the exhaustion of travel is a treatment that offers the full works from head to toe. It starts with a body exfoliation with herbal sea salt and oils specifically chosen to suit your needs based on a Chinese medical analysis. Next is the spa’s signature massage to melt away fatigue. Finally, a facial using deep-sea marine algae extracts replenishes moisture and will have you looking just as refreshed as you feel.
