Nüwa Spa Macau will give you the goddess treatment. The spa is named after Nüwa, the ancient Chinese mythical goddess who created mankind, and draws on her stories.
In one of the tales, Nüwa melted five colored stones to patch up the blue sky, thereby saving the world. The spa uses this myth as the basis of its philosophy. Each energizing stone represents one of the five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal and water — which are incorporated into the healing nature-inspired treatments.
Inside the nearly 38,000-square-foot facility, retreat to one of the eight treatment rooms to try one of these therapies.
