Taking regular breaks from the fast-paced city life isn’t only a must to prevent burnout and promote overall well-being, it’s also crucial for achieving lifelong happiness. Tune out and escape from the demands of urban living at Travertine Spa & Wellness at Shangri-La Plaza, known for its invigorating wellness offerings.

While Travertine Spa & Wellness is nestled right in the middle of the bustling city, it’s designed to transport you to a tranquil sanctuary where you’re greeted with a gentle hum of calming music and soothing ambiance. Named after the travertine rock often found in hot springs, this longevity and wellness hub is under the Avignon Clinic, an aesthetic, dermatology and wellness center with a team of medical experts.

Choose from a range of Spa Therapy treatments that include relieving Stress Escape Therapy, classic Philippine Hilot and the gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage Earth Stone Therapy. It also has a set of Wellness Therapy treatments like the collagen-boosting Shockwave Therapy to reduce joint pain and increase skin elasticity, and even the stimulating Acupuncture and Sound Healing to help address pain, stress and sleep problems. Adding to Travertine’s lineup are its yoga sessions, giving guests a truly holistic approach to wellness.

The wellness hub also offers a near-infrared sauna, which uses light to penetrate body tissues, providing benefits like deep tissue heating, cellular repair, enhanced circulation, pain relief from the likes of arthritis and increased energy levels and vitality.

When we say ‘Time for Travertine,’ consider this as an invitation to invest in your well-being at our tranquil suites, where self-care, mindfulness and vitality are not just practices but a way of life,” shares Myze Bangayan, general manager at Travertine Longevity & Wellness.
