Take a breather and discover a healthy refuge through your very own wellness journey at One&Only Desaru Coast

There’s a saying that goes, “A healthy outside starts from the inside.” In essence, this means that your physical, mental, emotional, social, and environmental health should go hand in hand. Often, we’re so caught up with our fast-paced, city-slicking lifestyles that we neglect to keep ourselves in check, but it’s so vital to develop a sense of balance and perspective that will truly enhance your wellbeing.

For an all-round wellness retreat that's intimate and personalised, all while focusing on your individual needs and goals, there’s no better destination than the breathtaking One&Only Desaru Coast.

The Bio-Energetic Check-up and Stress Test (HRV Analysis), part of One&Only Desaru Coast’s Chenot Spa’s Assess & Revitalise and Assess & Breathe packages respectively, provided Dian insight into her energetic state and information about how her body reacts to different types of stress – physical, mental, and emotional.

After discovering her ‘pain points’, she was pampered with a series of rejuvenating treatments, including the Chenot Detox Body Massage, the Chenot Facial Drainage Treatment, and the Chenot Eye Treatment, all designed to eliminate toxins, stimulate cellular regeneration, and alleviate signs of fatigue.

“Ordinary spas offer just facials and massages, so I was thoroughly impressed by the extent of my therapist’s knowledge and expertise, and the many different gadgets that I’ve never seen in my life. In particular, the Qiu Ball (HRV Biofeedback Training), a device that measures the pulse and calculates the heart rate variability (HRV) for systematic relaxation training - and this can be carried out at any place and any time, whenever needed! The Assess & Breathe package at Chenot Spa really opened my eyes and helped me discover what I need to be better at and what I need to do more of,” Dian said after the personalised session which coached her on her breathing techniques.

Continuing on her quest for inner peace and harmony, Dian then enjoyed private, reinvigorating yoga classes at the Beach Yoga Pavilion. Led by One&Only Desaru Coast’s expert yogi, the classes are all carefully curated with you, your mindfulness, and your inner balance in mind.

“One&Only Desaru Coast’s Beach Yoga Pavilion is something really special because I don’t know any other resorts in Malaysia which offer that. It made for such a blissful and calming setting, which, coupled with new breathing techniques, helped a great deal in strengthening my body and mind to achieve total relaxation,” Dian explained.
