YHI Spa Pattaya launch: Meliá’s new seaside hotel has unveiled its new wellness destination with a menu affording an array of health benefits, such as improving metabolism and the nervous and lymphatic systems, to ease stress, anxiety, headaches and sleep problems.

Featuring four treatment rooms and a Thai herbal sauna, the hotel’s spa is the fourth YHI Spa to open in Thailand. Meliá Hotels International’s signature spa debuted in Thailand at Meliá Koh Samui in 2020 before Meliá Phuket Mai Khao launched its spa in 2021 and Meliá Chiang Mai followed suit in 2022.

Inspired by the goddess YHI, responsible for life and light and personified by the sun for the Karraur First Nations people in Australia, Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s spa uses ancient Asian healing wisdom combined with modern wellness techniques. Its broad spectrum of treatments include massages, body scrubs and wraps, facials, and hydrotherapy.

Ideal for spa-goers with neck, shoulder and back tension seeking a firm, strong massage, YHI Spa’s 60-, 90- and 120-minute signature massage treatment “YHI Oriental Harmony” combines Swedish and traditional Thai massage techniques to target pressure points, promoting muscle recovery and flexibility.

YHI Spa pays tribute to Thailand with massages such as “Siam Serenity Herbal Compress” that uses a Thai herbal compress, Luk Pra Kob, with lemongrass, camphor, turmeric, and ginger to relieve inflammation and boost blood flow. Other 60 and 90-minute massages include aromatic, anti-stress, deep relief, hot stone, head, lower leg and foot massages.

Of the 90-, 120- and 150-minute spa packages, the “Blue Ocean Bliss Signature Treatment” begins with a 45-minute detox marine salt scrub, followed by 15 minutes of yoga stretching therapy and a 90-minute massage underscored by oil and warm seawater. Rounded off with a local snack and herbal drink set, the package has a focus on the local community and sustainability by using natural, hyper locally sourced ingredients.

The “Lot of Love” couple’s spa package starts with a 30-minute romantic milk bath to indulge the skin before a 60-minute YHI Oriental Harmony massage for two.

Body exfoliation, body wrap and facial treatments are on offer to nourish and brighten the skin such as the “Yuzu Scrub and Vitiver Body Polish” that uses Himalayan salt, konjac sponge, tripeptide and caffeine; harnessing a powerful combination of ceramide, tripeptide, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol to rehydrate the skin and help restore youthfulness. The “Ageless Facial Treatment” incorporates natural antioxidants from water lily, licorice and cactus extracts to help slow the skin’s aging process.

The bath rituals “Citrus and Salt Bath Voyage” and “Royal Rice Milk Soak” are among YHI Spa’s 30-minute hydrotherapy sessions to relax muscles, ease pain and release stress.

YHI Spa’s treatments are based on organic Thai wellness brand HARNN’s products, made with natural ingredients via methods handed down the generations of Thai artisans.

Open from 10am until 8pm daily, Meliá Pattaya Hotel’s spa features an elegant reception area, three single treatment rooms each with shower facilities, a spa suite with bathing facilities for hydrotherapy, Thai herbal sauna and more.
