Upon entering the lodge, guests are welcomed into a spacious lounge decorated in soothing neutral tones with whispers of Rosewood maximalism in the form of gold and marble accents. This leads into the bedroom, which features bold black-and-white striped walls and a plush king-sized bed.

Here, a glass cabinet houses Asaya-branded fitness equipment including a mat, yoga blocks and straps. To make use of these, guests have access to a series of videos created exclusively for Asaya including yoga, simple exercise circuits and meditation. Private classes and personal training can also be arranged, and guests have access to the Rosewood Hong Kong gym which boasts impressive views of Victoria Harbour.

An elegant walk-in closet dressed in dark wood separates the bedroom and the serene stone-and-marble bathroom. Within the bathroom, you’ll find a deep soaking tub, and an absurdly (in the best way) oversized shower which doubles as a steam room at the push of a button.

Finally, behind a large stone door that cheekily blends into the bathroom wall, is a private couples’ treatment room with a his and hers vanity, two cloud-like massage tables and a sitting area for pre- and post-treatment relaxation. The treatment room also features a separate entrance for spa therapists—a thoughtful extra that ensures absolute privacy within the rest of the lodge.

It was in here that I enjoyed an anti-ageing body treatment developed as part of Asaya’s partnership with the world-renowned beauty brand Dr Barbara Sturm. After an all-over body scrub to remove dead skin and promote circulation, a back mask for deep cleansing and the application of Sturm’s deliciously hydrating body serum, my skin felt like butter. 

Guests staying in the lodges have access to Rosewood Hong Kong’s infinity pool, as well as Asaya’s heated marble bathhouse, which includes a jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and ice-misting shower.

They also have access to a wellness coordinator, who can help curate and plan activities and treatments based on your wellness goals.

Asaya’s programming is built around five themes: emotional balance, fitness and nutrition, physical therapies, skin health and community. Its offerings serve to connect guests with the areas of their lives that might be out of alignment, encouraging them to re-evaluate fundamental relationships, whether that’s with food, technology, sleep, our bodies or even the people in our lives.

The treatments range from spa staples like massages and facials, to more esoteric offerings like hypnotherapy, astrology and even cognitive behavioural therapy and family therapy. So you can get into some pretty deep, serious healing here if you choose to, albeit within the comforts of Rosewood’s five-star amenities.

Asaya Kitchen is an airy 120-seat restaurant serving wholesome, health-conscious cuisine with a focus on responsibly sourced ingredients. Helmed by chef Fabio Nompleggio, the menu is a creative selection of vegetarian and seafood dishes influenced by Mediterranean flavours.

Proving that wholesome, clean eating doesn’t have to be restrictive, some highlights on the menu include a whole rock bream topped with juicy plum tomatoes and smoked olives, and a linguine with Palamós red prawns, Amalfi lemon and bottarga.

But if you want a break from all things wellness, don’t forget you’re still staying at Rosewood Hong Kong, which is home to some of the city’s most coveted restaurants including the Michelin-starred Chaat, Cantonese fine-dining restaurant The Legacy House, and American grill and smokehouse Henry.

It’s worth getting access to Rosewood Hong Kong’s Manor Club when booking. Situated on the 40th floor of the hotel, its views over Victoria Harbour are unparalleled.

Aside from enjoying a complimentary premium breakfast spread, afternoon tea and evening drinks, access to the Manor Club also means you can enjoy services including shoe care and a team of butlers who can help organise exclusive experiences around the city.
