And Faru, our bar, is where to relax with fine wines, tasteful cocktails, healthy juices and light snacks.

At this nurturing island retreat we offer Asian-based therapies, physical fitness classes and a new Pilates studio, as well as a fitness centre and airy yoga studio, where you can practice mindful exercises with views of the island.

HYDROTHERAPY

The therapeutic use of water can be traced back over 6,000 years. Our nervous system reacts to the pressure exerted by moving water, while warm water soothes the body, calming the nerves, heart and lungs, and releases tension in the muscles. Hydrotherapy has been effectively used in the treatment of chronic pain, as well as to aid recovery from surgery and injury.
