Unwind with a foot soak by the calming waters edge followed by a full body massage will leave you feeling relaxed and revived.

Let your mind and body float with a Paudi scalp massage. Luxuriate in a warm bath to thoroughly cleanse and nurture then complete the experience with a personalised facial to replenish depleted nutrients and revitalise tone and texture, and a pampering for the feet and hands. You will emerge feeling purified, centred and beaming with clarity. This is the ultimate treatment to fulfil your dreams, seclusion, tranquillity, freedom and lasting memories - 3 hours $350.00.
