Mandarin Oriental continuing Silent Night programme
BY Jane Kitchen
Following the success of the same initiative last year, Mandarin Oriental will once again be offering a night of silence in all of their spas worldwide.
This year’s Silent Night is set for 14 December, and all of the group’s spas will offer their normal treatment menu, but after 5 p.m., there will be no talking and no music within the spa in an effort to “instil a sense of peace and allow for individuals to experience contemplation and mindfulness.”
All communication will take place in a brief consultation at the beginning of the spa journey, before the guest changes into his or her robe.
“A lot of the value of a spa experience comes from simply disconnecting from technology and experiencing time for yourself in silence,” said Jeremy McCarthy, group spa director for Mandarin Oriental. “During this stressful time of the year, we want to create a space where people can press the pause button and have some time to think, meditate, or just take a break from being inundated with noise.”
Guests are encouraged to come alone or to bring a loved one with whom they would like to share an experience of silent connection.
