A signature menu of rejuvenation treatments features the Australian-made Sodashi skin care range, combining aromatherapy and natural botanicals with Ayurvedic principals to nurture the body and soul with wholeness, purity and radiance. The ultimate indulgence is the ‘Ulysses’, a complete face and body treatment encompassing purifying mud bath and Vichy shower overlooking the rainforest canopy.
