Sun Spa
The Sun Spa, named after the life-giving sun, an eternal light which extends through treatments to harmonise body, mind and soul. The spa has one ideal at its heart – to take a holistic approach to health and well-being using ancient Indian Ayurvedic techniques while encompassing the five elements.

The main centre is a delightful place to relax with hydrotherapy pools, steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, a spa boutique with signature products, a hair and beauty salon and peaceful relaxation areas. For treatments, hidden away in the vegetation and connected by a series of intricate bridges are eight secluded and private Spa Pavilions, featuring a courtyard garden, twin massage beds, a rain shower and an outdoor flower bath.

Sun Spa Philosophy
Sun is named after the life-giving sun. This energy source epitomizes what Sun Spas are about – an eternal light with the promise of warmth and youthful energy that extends through treatments to harmonise the body, mind and soul. Sun Spa treatments are designed to restore balance and harmonise energies as they lead guests on a journey through the cycle of nature.

At the centre of this holistic spa philosophy are the five elements found in nature; Wood, Fire, Metal, Earth and Water rooted in Chinese traditions as constantly shifting entities which coexist in a cycle of change and progression. These elements feed each other but they can also consume each other and in a state of balance, the flow of energy between the elements is smooth and cyclical. When our elements are out of balance, the result is reflected in unhealthy skin and a lack of well-being in body and mind. Personalised treatments are designed to correct any imbalances of the elements, inducing soothing relaxation and absolute bliss, while leaving you feeling thoroughly revitalized.

The Ayurveda treatments encompass traditions and rituals passed down over many millennia, developed by the ancient sages and perfected through countless generations. It teaches that each individual has its own unique balance of three subtle energies or doshas: wind (vata), bile (pitta), and mucus (kapha). Sun Spa’s Ayurvedic treatments work towards harmonising these Elements to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
