Our Inspector's Highlights
- In the cream and blue reception area, where walls have been hand-painted to look like stone, a table is set with fruit-infused tea and oversized shot glasses.
- Though the hotel spa takes full advantage of the adjacent seascape in terms of treatments and décor, it also incorporates the global influences its therapists pick up on frequent world travels.
- Look to the Cultural Discovery Treatments menu for exotic experiences you won’t find elsewhere.
- The 80-minute Indus Valley Ritual, for example, includes a warm foot bath, a full-body massage and shirodhara, an ayurvedic therapy in which warm oil is poured on your forehead to promote relaxation.
- No matter which experience you choose at the tropical spa, you’ll exit up the marble staircase feeling refreshed.
