Aman Spa at Amanfayun sits within the Amanfayun resort, a restored Buddhist temple village on Fayun Lane in Xihu District, tucked among tea terraces and bamboo forest close to Lingyin Temple on the outskirts of Hangzhou. The setting is a retreat compound rather than an urban day spa: converted village houses and bamboo-grove pavilions house individual treatment rooms, giving each session a secluded, monastic quiet. Signature treatments draw on regional traditions, including seasonal herbal baths and scrubs made with ingredients sourced from the surrounding hills, traditional Chinese acupressure massage, and moxibustion therapy, a heat-based technique rooted in classical Chinese medicine. Therapists are trained in traditional Chinese therapeutic techniques alongside Aman's own spa protocols. Facilities include a heated 20-meter swimming pool for guest use before or after treatments. Reservations are required well ahead of visits, as the spa serves both resort guests and a limited number of outside bookings, and treatment menus are typically selected in consultation with staff rather than browsed on arrival.
