Chi The Spa launches exclusive collaboration with Shankara

Amidst the soothing aroma of sandalwood, centuries of history, healing, and quiet grace unfold. At Chi The Spa at Shangri-La Bengaluru, this timeless essence takes centre stage in a new signature ritual,The Sandalwood Spa Experience, created in exclusive partnership with Shankara — a brand deeply rooted in Ayurveda, natural wellness, and conscious living.

Honouring Karnataka’s Heritage

Sandalwood is more than just a fragrant ingredient in Karnataka; it is an integral part of the state’s soul. Revered in temple rites, healing practices, and perfumery, its warm, earthy scent has provided comfort and calm for generations. Sourced sustainably, sandalwood embodies not only fragrance but a philosophy of mindfulness and respect for nature.

Chi The Spa draws inspiration from this rich heritage, designing treatments that soothe both body and spirit, integrating the calming and clarifying qualities of sandalwood at every stage.

Crafted Rituals for Contemporary Life

TheSandalwood Spa Experienceoffers two thoughtfully curated packages:

• Package 1(150 minutes):
  A comprehensive sensory journey begins with a customised sandalwood and milk body scrub to gently cleanse and soften the skin. This is followed by a 60-minute full-body massage with Shankara’s sandalwood oil, known for promoting emotional balance and profound relaxation. The experience continues with a facial massage featuring Kumkumadi Tailam — a revered Ayurvedic blend used for brightening and nourishing the skin — complemented by a cooling sandalwood face pack and a hot oil scalp massage to melt away tension.

• Package 2(60 minutes or 90 minutes):
  Guests can select a personalised aroma massage using their preferred Shankara oil, accompanied by a nourishing hot oil scalp and hair treatment. A hair wash and blow-dry can also be enjoyed at a special rate.

To celebrate the hotel’s anniversary, Chi The Spa invites guests to extend their wellness journey by purchasing any six treatments and receiving three additional treatments complimentary.

More Than Skin-Deep Benefits

Sandalwood oil has long been cherished in Ayurveda for its calming influence on the mind, anti-inflammatory properties, and ability to soothe sensitive skin. Its warm, grounding scent can reduce stress and promote restful sleep — offering a rare moment of stillness amidst today’s fast-paced world.

By blending ancient wisdom with modern treatments, Chi The Spa provides guests with a serene space to reconnect with themselves, guided by nature’s gentle wisdom.
