1. Watsu
Where: Fivelements Hong Kong
Opened at the ritzy new Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy in Sai Kung last year, Fivelements Hong Kong arrived with a slew of wellness-oriented activities. The Balinese retreat (which also has a location in Bali) offers peaceful gardens, professional consultants, an impressive vegan restaurant, and a tome of a treatment menu.
One of the most intriguing offerings is Watsu—this blend of flotation therapy and shiatsu (Japanese massage) takes place in a specially built pool, complete with body-temperature water (about 35°C) and underwater speakers that stream soothing spa music.

Throughout the therapy, a trained watsu bodywork professional will hold your head above water while they pull, rock and cradle you gently in various directions to stretch your spine, neck and shoulders. The therapist will also use shiatsu massage techniques to prod tired muscles, making this a relaxing and meditative experience that will leave you feeling clear-headed and feather-light for days to come.
