Spa Days
Let nature’s beauty complement your wellness journey with a spa day at our Elemis spa. Start your experience with a freshly brewed tea or coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, paired with pastries. Take a leisurely stroll through the gardens, or, if you are feeling brave, dip into nature’s pool and let the sense of calm wash over you. For those who prefer a little more comfort, dip into our indoor heated pool, where you can swim in comfort while taking in the picturesque landscape outside.

"This was our fourth visit and we love it! The food is excellent, the spa is amazing. We had the lava shell massages too, which was a wonderful treat! The staff are lovely and friendly and really looked after us! We also got engaged there this time! Such a special place, 5-star all the way!!"
