MiraSpa, new kid on the Tsim Sha Tsui spa block
The Tsim Sha Tsui spa scene gets a shake-up with the MiraSpa, a plush 18,000 square feet retreat sitting squarely in one of Hong Kong’s busiest shopping zones.
Every tai tai's essential TLC needs are covered at the MiraSpa: a 25-meter indoor pool, VIP spa suites with whirlpool baths, a nail bar and a hair salon manned by IFC’s Private-I salon.
Each step of the typical spa treatment ritual has been given an update at the MiraSpa. Here's a typical day at the MiraSpa:
