The Conrad Koh Samui resort in Thailand is launching a five-hour, multi-sensory Body Herbal Renewal treatment.

Based on the Spa's holistic principles for 'full body rejuvenation' and priced at THB14,000 (US$440, 364 euro, £283), the new signature treatment starts with an aromatic herbal steam bath, followed by an meridian massage.

Also included in the ritual is a spa cuisine lunch, where guests can choose from three-course menu concepts ranging from the De-Stress and Sleep Deeply, to Thai Treat and Energy Boosting.

Spas going for the "Wow" factor was one of the trends predicted by Susie Ellis, president of SpaFinder, in her annual trends report earlier this year.
