You’ll travel far and wide for an authentic experience. You bunked at a ryokan in Kyoto. Visited a Maasai village in the Serengeti. And nuded up on the beach in Rio.

But even you need a respite close to home every once in a while.

Chaan, a spa focused on Thai rejuvenation philosophies, offers the perfect solution without the cost and hassle of a trip to Phuket. Choose from a menu of treatments that are customized to ease away your tension and stress.

Have an hour or two? Elect traditional Thai massage (an interactive therapy that blends yoga, stretching, and acupressure) or spice it up with aromatherapy to enhance the relaxation factor. If time is of the essence, focus that massage attention on your head or feet.

Either way, you’ll start off with a warm floral footbath and end with hot ginger tea to ensure complete revitalization from beginning to end.

And unlike your other adventures, when it’s over, you can be home in a matter of minutes.
