Curated Experience

Experience the unique feeling of the indoor sphere pool, surrounded by cocooning Byzantine domes (inspired by the architecture of Hagia Sophia church), with in-water benches and hydrotherapy jets to release muscle pain and stress. Dive into the 13-foot water well and revel in the enveloping womb-like sensation, listen to the soothing marine sounds play softly under the water, transporting you into a more sensory world — connecting to your primal self. Ponder the interplay of hot and cold, sun and moon, light and dark, in the spa’s water well. Later, continue the sensory experience by moving through the private forest and engaging your senses for a meditative experience in nature.
