As you exit the elevator, the first thing you’ll notice is its striking departure from the conventional spa aesthetic.
Unlike typical wellness centres with white colour palettes that evoke an almost clinical serenity, this spa’s obsidian black walls and dimly lit interiors transport you into a realm that feels perpetually set in the quiet hours of twilight, laying the groundwork for completely immersive relaxation.
The Grotto Wellness Spa allows guests to completely customise their experience.
Upon arrival, you’re invited to select the room scent, aromatherapy oils and music, tailoring the experience to your personal preferences.
The spa is equipped with a variety of facilities designed to cater to every aspect of wellness.
