Caravelle launches Salon and Spa in Vietnam
POSTED 21 Nov 2012 . BY Aoife Dowling
Kara Salon & Spa has opened at the Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Located in Lan Son Square, the spa is now fully operational, six weeks after the hotel’s soft opening.

Spanning 8,073sq ft (750sq m), the spa features two VIP suites and eight private treatment rooms.

Facilities include separate men and women's areas, each containing aromatherapy steamrooms, saunas, private showers, spa pools and single treatment rooms. The VIP rooms cater to friends and couples.

Eight daybeds in the foot massage parlour and a swimming pool will also be on offer.

Hoang Thuy Vi, who previously worked at the Ana Mandara Hue, Sofitel Plaza Saigon and Park Royal Saigon, will manage the spa.

Kara Spa partnered with Thai product line Thann and skin-care brand Pevonia Botanical for its body and facial treatments. Other ingredients that are used in the spa include Myoxy Caviar, black sesame and Dead Sea mud.

The signature treatment is The Kara Saigon massage, which blends five of the spa's seven massage traditions into a 90-minute session.

The salon provides hair, nail and waxing services by five hairdressers and nail technicians.
