WHAT IS IN THE SPA?
The Spa is Ladies only on a Saturday.
Hammam
The Hammam is a soft and relaxing heat, as you lay on heated marble benches you can truly imagine yourself in another world.
Aromasteam
Literally clear your head in our aromasteam room where a range of essential oils, such as eucalyptus and peppermint, is used to improve breathing as well as refreshing the spirit and promoting clarity of mind.
Steam
Hotter than Aromasteam. Relax and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of our largest steam room. Steam baths ease stress, relieve muscle tensions and stiff joints, boost the immune system, stimulate circulation, increase body metabolism, remove fat-stored toxins from the body and deep-cleanse the skin.
Sauna
Fans of this dry heat report feelings of peace and contentment as well as physical rejuvenation. Exposure to high heat causes an artificial fever, stimulating the body's immune system to fight minor illness. Circulation increases,reviving tired muscles, detoxifying and cleansing the skin.
Plunge Pool
There is nothing more invigorating and stimulating than a dip in the plunge pool. Bathing in cold water supercharges the system, improves breathing and muscle tone and reduces fatigue. The release of endorphins gives you that feel-good factor.
Ice Cave
Get that tingle factor as you chill out in the Ice Cave. Rubbing ice granules onto your skin will exfoliate and really get the circulation going! For people with aching muscles, holding ice on the affected area decreases blood flow to provide immediate pain relief and reduce swelling.
Experience Shower
This amazing, multi-coloured tropical rain shower is guaranteed to refresh and exhilarate after coming out of the steam rooms or sauna. As you are blasted by the water, the colours in the room change to give you an unforgettable shower experience.
