A superlative new Anantara Spa has just been inaugurated at the Commune by The Great Wall Kempinski, one of China's top luxury retreats, near Beijing.

The Commune by the Great Wall Kempinski is a private collection of living contemporary Chinese and Asian architecture, with 42 designer villas set against the backdrop of the Shuiguan Valley and the Great Wall.

The Anantara Spa now offers guests a true sanctuary of privacy and tranquillity over 1000 m2 and three levels. The spa's design is influenced by contemporary Asian art and architecture. There is a 60 m2 fitness area equipped with state-of-the-art machines as well as a rooftop yoga area, where spa workshops in yoga or meditation are offered complete with stunning views over the Great Wall.

Guests can enjoy the benefits of supremely luxurious Asian-inspired treatments, offered in 21 Spa suites. An uplifting sensory journey is promised by Asia's premier spa brand; Spa suites are delicately scented with sandalwood, lavender and patchouli essential oils.

Delightfully indulgent treatments include the Culture of Anantara and body treatments such as the Ultimate Body Detox or Exotic Fruit Peels. Ayurvedic, aromatherapy and Balinese massage therapies are designed to promote well-being and relaxation. Anantara's famed facials are inspired by rejuvenation secrets of the East and West. Signature treatments include the five-hour Anantara Rejuvenating Journey, a full spa ritual promising total relaxation, or the four-hour Spa Bliss retreat, perfect for spa-loving couples.

"The unique natural setting, with views over the Great Wall, combined with extraordinary personal service mean that Anantara Spa at Commune by the Great Wall Kempinski will set new standards for luxury spa experiences in the region," says Yves Wencker, General Manager of the property.
