A new wellness concept exploring the world of sound therapy has launched at the five-star InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in Vietnam.

Created for InterContinental Danang in partnership with global wellness consultancy Raison d’Etre, the journey has been crafted to help guests tune their bodies to the exact frequencies and vibrations needed to achieve physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Good vibrations
Mi Sol Spa is named after the tones in the musical scale – do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti – each of which has a specific vibration frequency and is claimed to enhance the flow of natural energy around the body. For example, mi – 528 hertz – is said to stimulate love and restore equilibrium, while sol – 741 hertz – is claimed to help detoxify the body.

All treatments and rituals at the spa are inspired by these sounds and use tuning forks to harness these frequencies. These are then blended with ancient wellness healing techniques and modern science to create a multisensory treatment protocol.

The wellness centre's team strives to help every traveller to achieve complete relaxation and rejuvenation.

The customer journey
The spa’s multi-sensory experience starts as soon as guests arrive. Nestled in 39 hectares of nature and perched above a natural lagoon in a valley of the Son Tra Peninsula, the wellness facility is designed to feel separated from the outside world.

Architect Bill Bensley of Bensley Design Studios was brought on board to develop an organic spa design concept that invites relaxation. He chose to create eight treatment villas that are based on the tube shape of Quonset huts. Each is complemented with saunas and steamrooms, hammam beds, Jacuzzis and marble bathtubs.

With regards to the spa menu, guests can opt for a series of Signature Mi Sol Spa experiences, bodywork treatments, scrubs, massages or facials, as well as frequency yoga sessions, sleep support therapies and more.

Anna-Cari Gund, managing director of Raison d’Etre says: “This has been a wonderful concept to work on and our team was truly inspired by the hotel’s original design and natural location.

“We’ve been pleased to use our global wellness knowledge and experience to create something new and exciting which is guaranteed to surpass the guests’ expectations and help them achieve a greater level of holistic fulfilment.”
