Royal Spa: Completed in 2006, and designed using natural elements such as wood, stone, plants and water, the Royal Spa reflects pure nature, providing a comforting haven from the stresses of daily life.

Guests are encouraged to use all the facilities - which include saunas, a steam room and hammam - as part of their Royal Spa experience.
