RELAX AND REJUVENATE: A staycation is
incomplete without a revitalising treatment. We
highly suggest the five-element aroma massage
which begins with a personality survey to depict
your element. Once the results are in, you’re
asked to inhale a concoction of oils to help
balance your body and mind and bring you back
to healthy being. Make sure to mark the areas that
require extra attention, we focused on the back,
neck and shoulders – a common with desk
workers – and had every muscle eased with a few
cracks and skilled therapeutic techniques. Finish
the treatment with a trip to the sauna, tropical
showers accompanied by sounds from the forest
or storms, and a quick snooze on the heated
lounge beds.

DINE AT: For lunch, you can’t go wrong with the
Kale salad, freshly prepared baguette and seafood
risotto at the European bistro-style Café Pronto.
Try not to fill up on fresh fruit served in-room,
and build up an appetite for dinner at Copper
Lobster, the resort’s gastro bar restaurant. Begin
with impressive red pepper and rose-infused
cocktails at the bar – the mixologist Alex
Khvastunov once served Vladimir Putin – before
you take a seat and enjoy the jazz singer go across
ivory keys. The menu comprises comfort food
commencing with lobster mac and cheese (a
thermidor and pasta shell hybrid) and fresh
burrata and artichoke salad, followed by a harra
lobster with gravy, cooked in a French clay
sourced by the chef from the market. Sticky toffee
pudding is one of our favourite desserts, and we
couldn’t have chosen anything better to end a
lovely meal. Breakfast takes place at Canvas every
morning, offering a wide selection of pastries, and
cuisines ranging from Middle Eastern to Indian.
The pool bar serves a wide selection of snacks
and bites including a fresh and crisp fish and chips,
to indulge in while basking in the sun.
