Press reset on the body, mind and soul with this limited-time wellness experience with The Shangri-La Rasa Ria resort and LUSH.
Tucked away amidst the sprawling forests of Kota Kinabalu is where you’ll find The Shangri-La Rasa Ria resort. A scenic 45-minute drive from the city centre, the resort is home to an impeccable beach, the Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club and a enchanting 64-acre natural reserve.
With the resort split into two separate wings, we’re taking you with us on a rejuvenating journey to their impressive ocean wing. Joining us on our trip is none other than LUSH. A match made in relaxation heaven, Shangri-La Rasa Ria are collaborating with planet-friendly beauty brand LUSH to create an enlightening experience to mend the body, mind and soul. Offering a limited-time promotion entitled the Ria Reset, this is your opportunity to escape the bustle and immerse yourself within this stunning sanctuary.
“It was important for us to consider the values of any brand we collaborate with, and there was no better fit than LUSH. Their principles align with what we’re trying to achieve at the resort”, says general manager of the Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Fiona Hagan. Chiming in was Harvinder Harchand, director of LUSH Malaysia, who added that the collaboration felt very organic and right, with both the hotel and LUSH standing for more sustainable movements whilst also providing a desired beauty and wellness experience.
On our visit we were thankfully greeted with customary Sabahan sunshine—which can’t be said about the current gloomy skies of Kuala Lumpur. Finding our room in the ocean wing, the space boasts an incredible view of the South China Sea, with the highlight being the private balcony with the oversized outdoor bathtub looking out to the ocean.
One of our favourite parts of the Ria Reset, this special package comes with a LUSH Bubble Bar ready in your room. Every night of our stay was spent in the luscious bath tub, enjoying the sky transitioning from vibrant blue, to striking orange and finally calming navy. By our second night, we were already running to The Spa to purchase another one.
A holistic experience curated with relaxation and rejuvenation in mind, the package also includes sunrise walks to their breathtaking viewpoint, re-energising stand-up paddleboard yoga and taichi, a village bike tour, access to various water sport activities and more.
Whether you’re a family of four or a couple looking for a quick escape, the Ria Reset is an inclusive wellness program that has been carefully curated to treat the mind and body. Only available for a limited time, the Ria Reset with LUSH will be available to book from now to October 21 and for stays until 20 December 2022.
