Abacá Spa, Cebu
Tel: 62-32-495-3461
Size definitely doesn't matter at this exquisite two-room waterside gem of a spa at the Abacá resort. Two chic relaxation spaces have polished dark-wood floors, inlaid-mother-of-pearl walls, and shelves stacked with giant sea shells. Antique tribal jewelry, native materials, and woven-fiber sandals add to the indigenous ambience. The treatment menu features traditional Filipino hilot massage, with long, deep-pressure strokes; for something unique, try the Eucalyptus and Rosemary Scalp and Shoulder massage, which begins with a thorough back knead to ease cranial tension. Afterward, linger over peppermint tea and watermelon slices in the shaded beach cabana.
