Published on June 10, 2025

Meliá Pattaya Hotel has officially launched its YHI Spa, offering a thoughtfully curated menu of wellness treatments that promote physical and mental well-being — from improving metabolism and easing tension to boosting circulation and enhancing sleep quality.

This marks the fourth YHI Spa in Thailand under Meliá Hotels International, following successful rollouts at Meliá Koh Samui, Meliá Phuket Mai Khao, and Meliá Chiang Mai. Named after the goddess of life and light from the Karraur First Nations mythology, YHI Spa blends ancient Asian healing wisdom with contemporary wellness techniques.

With four serene treatment rooms and a traditional Thai herbal sauna, the spa is designed for ultimate rejuvenation. The spa’s signature treatment, “YHI Oriental Harmony”, combines Swedish and Thai massage techniques to target pressure points and aid muscle recovery — ideal for guests with persistent back, neck, or shoulder tension.

Highlighting Thai heritage, the “Siam Serenity Herbal Compress” features the traditional Luk Pra Kob infused with lemongrass, turmeric, camphor, and ginger, offering relief from inflammation and improved circulation.

For those seeking a full immersive experience, the “Blue Ocean Bliss Signature Treatment” blends a detoxifying marine salt scrub, yoga stretches, and an oil and seawater massage — topped with a local snack and herbal drink. Couples can enjoy the “Lot of Love” package, beginning with a romantic milk bath and followed by a shared massage.

The spa also offers facials and body treatments like the “Yuzu Scrub and Vitiver Body Polish” with Himalayan salt, konjac sponge, and caffeine to brighten and rehydrate the skin. The “Ageless Facial Treatment” uses natural extracts from water lily, licorice, and cactus to combat signs of aging.

Shorter hydrotherapy rituals, such as the “Citrus and Salt Bath Voyage” and “Royal Rice Milk Soak”, provide 30 minutes of pure relaxation and detox.

All treatments use products from HARNN, an organic Thai wellness brand known for natural, artisanal formulations passed down through generations.

Open daily from 10am to 8pm, the YHI Spa at Meliá Pattaya offers three single treatment rooms with showers, a spa suite for couples with hydrotherapy, and a Thai herbal sauna to complete the wellness journey.
