Wellness Centre
Hydrotherapy Pools
Guests can enjoy various pools of different temperatures, each with different built-in features such as under water and overhead jets. This form of hydrotherapy relieves pain in tight muscles, stimulates blood circulation and generally relaxes the body.
Steam Room
Relax in our wet heat chamber where the hot steamy atmosphere allows the skin’s pores to open so the body can detoxify. The damp air also helps clear the respiratory system.
Sauna
The dry heat of a sauna heats the body so blood vessels expand to boost blood flow and cause the body to sweat out toxins. This experience is best followed by a cold shower or plunge or stint in the Artic Cave to beautifully balance body and mind.
Himalayan Salt Room
Himalayan salt contains 85 trace minerals that the body needs. Inhaling its vapour in our salt room, opens and cleanses your respiratory tract which helps relieve asthma, cold viruses and other breathing issues. The vapour also has a calming effect on the skin, relieving symptoms such as eczema and psoriasis.
Arctic Cave
The sharp contrast between hot and cold experiences boosts circulation and breaks down fat in the body and clears mind, giving an overall lift to immune function and mood. In our thermal suite we include an Artic Cave, set between 0-5 degrees Celsius, for use after the hot sauna and steam facilities.
Experiental Shower
Our experiential showers include sound and colour therapy as well as different water flows, sequences and temperatures. Enjoy the relaxing, almost hypnotic sensation of these showers to calm you down in between the intensity of your hot-cold hydrotherapy session.

Arrive early for your Spa Treatment
We recommend you come to the spa 45 minutes before your scheduled treatment time so that you can leave your belongings in your designated locker, change into a dressing gown and make full use of our hydrothermal and relaxation room, where you can quietly recline in a private space overlooking our herb garden, before and after your treatment.
Complimentary Hydrothermal Area
If you’d like to experience your treatment with warm breezes, bird song and the sound of nature, we have three quiet outdoor salas for oil and Thai massage appointments.
A note on our Hydrothermal Suite
When we alternate between hot and cold experiences, our blood vessels dilate and vasodilate (expand and contract) which helps pump the blood round our body, relax muscles and eliminate toxins through the skin. The wet heat of the steam room helps to open up our breathing . If you have a blood pressure concern, please consult a Health and Wellness Advisor before you use the hydrothermal area.
