Bathhouses, with their rich history over the centuries, are regarded as sanctuaries of rejuvenation and relaxation. And if you know me, you know that I care and want you to relax and feel rejuvenated. It comes as no surprise that one of the oldest civilisations in the world is renowned for this ancient wellness activity. I’m talking about China, by the way. So, allow me to share with you one of the most luxurious bathhouses in Shanghai. A place where you can escape life’s stresses and digital domination. It’s time to get a bit old school and unwind in an ancient bathhouse.
Highton Spaland
Essentially, the Highland Spaland Bathhouse is full of pools with a wide range of temperatures. In fact, the spa offers the widest range of temperatures in Shanghai, ranging from 33˚C to 47˚C. Apart from all the baths, you can choose from a dry or steam sauna to get rid of all your toxins. Because let’s be honest, we don’t like toxins and I care about your well-being. After your sauna, feel free to jump in the cold pool to cool down.
But wait, it truly gets better. At an extra cost, you can lay down for a body scrub with sea salt, milk, and other grains. Otherwise, unwind on Highton’s rooftop in human-sized pots filled with warm water. Best of all, the rooftop is completely private so you don’t have to worry about someone checking you out. Certainly, this is the perfect place to soak, sunbathe or just relax in full privacy.
Highton International Hotel
Highton Spaland is a unique little gem of a bathhouse located in Qibao, Shanghai. However, Highton Spaland forms part of the Highton International Hotel that’s only 5 kilometres from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. Additionally, the hotel is close to some of Shanghai’s most popular landmarks like the Hong Fang Creative Industrial Zone. Essentially, Highton International Hotel is a great destination for all travellers. Moreover, the hotel rooms offer a minibar, air conditioning, and a seating area.

And if you feel like exploring Chinese cuisine a bit more, Highton International Hotel is near Chinese restaurants like Lost Heaven, Old Jesse (Tianping Road), and Fu He Hui. Other than restaurants, visit museums and art galleries that are also close to the hotel. Lastly, I haven’t forgotten, you should visit Highton Spaland in the hotel. Also, you don’t need to be a guest of the Highton International Hotel to visit the bathhouse, so there’s really no excuse.
