It’s a 16 hour flight from New York to Taiwan and with the 12 hour time difference, you’re going to feel the jet lag — there’s probably no getting around it! Whether you stay at the Evergreen Resort or you just buy a day pass (about $28 US now) to the pool/Lohas spa area, you’ll be doing yourself a soothing favor. I was glad to be hosted to experience it!
The resort uses the famous local spring water in its pool areas –which includes a clothing optional pool — that has a sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) component. The softened waters are terrific for skin. Also, feng shui aspects are incorporated into the pools and treatment areas. Bathing caps are required for ladies, which is a little different from US traditions.
One of the most unusual aspects of the spa are the many different indoor hot tubs filled with different healthy aromatics, meant to help a variety of skin conditions. The Chinese herbal and the kumquat pools were exquisite!
There are water massagers and heat jets in the main pool, which is indoor/outdoor.
Here’s how they describe the facilities: LOHAS SPA
The spa area of Evergreen Resort Hotel (Jiaosi) is 1500 pin. There are 5 theme spas in the area. You can start the journey in the bubble chair pool and move on to the massage pool, fountain pool, herbal pool, gold date pool, stream pool, float pool, and the four lane hot spring pool. Bask in the sweet scent of wood, bamboo, banana leaves and gardenia flowers. The steam from the spring water will open your pores and wash away all the exhaustion. Enjoy every second of this stress releasing vacation.
Continuous Space from the Mountains to the Sea:
The space is designed to incorporate the mountains and waters of Yilan and connect the pool area and the spa area with the flow of the waters to create a continuous feeling of the spaces. We imagine a stream like the one beside Cyuezih Mountain flowing from the fountain of the kiddies pool passing a lake (swimming pool), a river (foot massage stream), a pond, a beach (shallow bubble bath), and finally into the ocean (spa pool).
Subtropical Garden:
We use a great quantity of subtropical flowers and plants to decorate this space making it a flourishing subtropical garden. The flowers bloom at different time. The colors and the looks of the garden merge to form multiple views to the sight giving the guests a feast for the eyes.
Five major areas:
1. Sky Garden Swimming Pool
2. Kiddies Pool
3. Hydrotherapy Spa
4. Energy and Health Area
5. Herbal Area
Location: Outdoors Area on 5F/ LOHAS Spa/ (1500 people)
Opening Time: 07:00~23:00
Please bring your own swim suits and swim caps.
Sky Spring
The outdoor soaking tub for nude bathing is especially made from imported natural Turkish stones and masses of wood, so that the enchanting natural delights of the distinctive, yet complementary ambience and fragrances of wind, wood, water and stone are intermingled. Get close to the true beauty of an outdoor bath from your very first soothing mineral bath in Jiaosi. Connect with carbonic acid hot spring, overlooking blue seas and skies, discovering a natural and unspoiled view of rivers and rock formations, the blooming flowers of different seasons and listening closely to the harmony of murmuring waters.
Stone SPA
We introduced the most popular Stone SPA from Japan and created a completely stand-alone and secluded VIP style SPA area. With the scientific therapeutic method that uses far infrared lights emitted from heated Beitou stones, the bath stimulates perspiration and releases all of your accumulated fatigue and stress. It is a recreational facility that shouldn’t be missed and is also the only Stone Spa in Yilan.
