At the lush and private confines of the Spa Lobby, an exquisite starry sky is set against an intricate and graceful Tree of Life feature wall artpiece. Taking centrestage, a magnificent Arbol de la Vida Tree of Life sculpture from Mexico adds to the imagery of a tropical garden.
Artistic expressions of aesthetics and finishes of the spa honour its Asian heritage, celebrating creativity and intricate craftsmanship. Leaf-patterned hand-carved timber panels by artisans from Indonesia and abaca woven fiber panels from The Philippines adorn the walls and doors. Natural stones such as travertine marble and onyx as well as solid bamboo are crafted into the floors and wall panels.
The Spa Walkway, beautifully lined with creepers and woody vines, spells adventure in a tropical jungle while acrylic bamboo from Thailand adds contrast and a sense of calm amidst a bamboo garden. Interior furnishings and decor include Chinese and Thai style paintings, Balinese stone carving, modern day laser cut-out screens featuring different elegant styles of the Tree of Life.
