Blu Spas’ long-standing commitment is
to create extraordinary experiences and
adventures for people of all ages. How ‘living
well’ is created and delivered is at the core
of what Blu does. Blu has been recognised
for its innovative concepts; for capturing
authentic and marketable qualities from local cultures; for delivering memorable facilities
and guest experiences; for its market-based
approach to planning; for its detailed
technical services and for its pre-and

Features that today’s spa goers consider
de riguer – spa suites with private pools,
baths and/or showers; orchestrated
indoor and outdoor spa experiences; and
incorporating indigenous healing traditions

Spas’ visionary, creative team. Their mantra:
create “sensory sanctuaries” that honour
