Feng Shui Get-aways
Some of the world's most luxurious hotels are embracing the principles of Feng Shui in order to give their guests a better experience. Here are seven that we'd love to check in to:
This gorgeous low-key boutique hotel has an eclectic sense of style that "maintains unity in diversity thanks to a harmonious palate of colours and Feng Shui aesthetic."
All 333 (a number the Chinese consider to be very lucky) of the huge, well-appointed, rooms follow the principles of Feng Shui in both their color schemes (warm yellow and cool white) and the careful placement of furnishings and artwork.
Built specifically for the business traveler, this property was built in strict adherence to the "precepts of ancient Asian teachings" and "provides the ultimate in special harmony and sensuous well-being."
Through its meticulous following of Feng Shui in its design, this property's thoughtful use of light and water, coupled with correct positioning of objects, offers a calm, soothing and intimate atmosphere.
Overlooking the crystal blue Indian Ocean, this hotel promises Zen relaxation based on harmony and well-being, which "provides a luxurious opportunity for the body and soul to repose a while."
This tasteful property has fully embraced the Feng Shui philosophy and claims to be Feng Shui certified! In line with this, most sharp corners in the hotel have been rounded off and a trickling fountain has been installed in the lobby, which (according to Feng Shui) not only welcomes guests but also prosperity.
These cottages were designed by Karen Kingston, who is a world renowned Feng Shui expert, and embrace both Balinese and Universal Feng Shui principles in order to "nurture your spirit, delight your senses, and gladden your heart."
