The spa features six private indoor-outdoor treatment rooms, three vitality pools, a full-service salon, a relaxation lounge, a Turkish Hammam, and state-of-the-art sauna and shower facilities. Each element is carefully curated to provide an unparalleled experience, targeting the limbic system to inspire ultimate relaxation.
One of the highlights of The Spa is its glass ceiling, offering a glimpse into the world above while showcasing a stunning rippling bamboo structure that serves as the resort’s dedicated yoga pavilion.
