It is beautifully designed and the creation of the spa experiences available is second-to-none in this environment. The two-storey building has curved walls and a pan-tiled roof that creates a very sunny, Romanesque feel, and inside, all the Spa experiences are central to a large pool.

There fourteen themed experiences in the Spa; an Indian Blossom Steam Room; a Turkish Hammam; a Laconium; and a Japanese Salt Steam Bath - all designed to purifying and detoxify the body. There`s a Tyrolean sauna, and ice crystals, in addition to the soothing Greek Herbal Bath, the bubbling Reflexology Foot Bath and the exhilarating Experience showers.
