Other facilities will include a mani-pedi area, barber shop, hairdresser's, meditation room, studio, gym, café and bookshop.
The spa will utilise the citrus fruits native to the region, with the scent infused in treatment rooms, and lemon, lime and orange oils used in a wide facials, wraps and scrubs. Other products will be supplied by Sodashi.
