Insider Tips
Best Time: Morning or early afternoon slots are often quieter, as many guests come in the evening. An early session means you have the spa mostly to yourself.
Hack: Mention special occasions when booking. The spa sometimes adds a little extra (like a small cake or extended relaxation time) if they know you’re celebrating.
Hidden Gem: Request a corner treatment room if available – a couple of them have two walls of glass, giving a 90-degree panorama during your massage.
Optional: After your massage, take the elevator to the open-air Moon Bar upstairs. Enjoying a sunset cocktail while still in your post-spa glow is pure magic.

Photography Tips
Restriction: No photography during treatments (privacy is respected). You may take pictures of the spa room or decor before your treatment starts if staff allows.
Best time/light: Daytime sessions let natural light flood in along with skyline views – a quick snap of the view from your spa suite (with permission) can be lovely.
Angle: The spa lobby’s bamboo and stone decor makes for a calming shot. If you have a private couple’s suite with a tub, it’s photogenic when filled with flower petals (just ask first).
Storage: The spa locker will hold your phone/camera safely. It’s best not to bring bulky equipment; a smartphone camera captures the ambiance well and keeps the mood uninterrupted.
