From Altitude’s vantage point high above Sydney Harbour, twilight arrives in deepening hues of blue and violet. Ferries trace silver paths across the water, the skyline sharpens into silhouette, and the restaurant’s tables seem to float between the last light of day and the glow of the city coming alive.
But this is where the evening culminates. It begins several floors below, where the city’s energy fades to whisper and time itself seems to slow. The week’s tension – every email, every deadline – begins to dissolve the moment you enter Chi, The Spa.
Few experiences in Sydney are as thoughtfully choreographed as Shangri-La Sydney’s Twilight Spa and Dinner Experience. It offers a seamless balance of relaxation, celebration, and intimate luxury. A unique gift to be shared.
Chi, The Spa: Your restoration era
At the heart of Shangri-La sits the award-winning Chi, The Spa. With state-of-the-art wellness facilities and a menu of treatments designed to regenerate your chi, this is where genuine renewal begins.
As the bright amber light of day begins to fade, so too will any lingering thoughts of work or stress. You and your partner enter the private couple’s spa suite and settle into a 45-minute Tension Relief Massage. What remains will dissolve in the gentle heat of the couple’s infrared sauna: 30 minutes of detoxifying warmth that feels less like treatment and more like emergence.
You’ll leave feeling both centred in yourself and blissfully connected to each other. Which is precisely the state of mind you want when the lift doors open onto Level 36.
Altitude: Where Sydney takes centre stage
Rather than returning to the world abruptly, you’re seated at an intimate table at Altitude, with the entire harbour stretched out below: Opera House, Harbour Bridge, the glittering city grid.
You’re handed a glass of sparkling and the evening’s menu – think Kurrimine Coral Trout, Shangri-La Honey-glazed Duck Breast, Kinross Station Hampshire Down Lamb and Condabilla Murray Cod. The three courses culminate in an assiette of desserts, each dish as considered as the last.
What began in the quiet warmth of the spa now finds its counterpoint here: bold flavours, precise technique, and the kind of presentation that makes you pause before the first bite.
By the time dessert arrives, the harbour is fully illuminated – a mirror of lights on black water. The evening has moved through distinct acts: relaxation, ascension, celebration. What makes this experience rare isn’t any single element, but the way each one amplifies what came before. You leave not just satisfied, but recalibrated. It’s the kind of reset that lingers long after you’ve returned to sea level. At $599 per couple, the Twilight Spa and Dinner Experience offers something increasingly precious in Sydney: time that feels genuinely stolen from the everyday, spent entirely on each other.
This is more than dinner and spa, it’s a complete reset. Book your evening of twilight luxury below.
