The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Swim-up barstools look directly out across the water, and loungers sit submerged in the rooftop infinity pool.
The spa
Private cabanas rest beside a cascading indoor waterfall, and treatment suites offer whipped cocoa body wraps.
Hydrotherapy and gym
Amber lanterns light the indoor hydrotherapy circuit and plunge pool. Nearby, the fitness center stays open around the clock.
At the table
Teppanyaki chefs cook beneath bamboo ceilings, and the open-air terrace bar glows with jellyfish lanterns at dusk.
