The modern spa is descended from the ancient practice of bathing in hot springs and mineral waters, dating back to at least the Babylonians and Greeks. Many speculate the word ‘Spa’ may be an acronym for the Latin phrase "sanitas per aquas" - health through water.

Yet others believe the origin of the word "spa" comes from the Belgian town of Spa, known since Roman times for its baths. They speculate that the town was so prominent that the very word spa became syonymous in the English language with a place to be restored and pampered.

Malaysia, with its diverse history of people and cultures, and a vast abundance of natural resources, provides the backdrop for health rituals that are amongst the oldest in the world. The abundance of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Thai practices makes this the ideal setting for complete rejuvenation.

Its sole purpose is to provide guests with lifestyle improvement and health enhancement through professionally administered spa services, physical fitness, lectures and spa cuisine.

The Resort Spa is just one of the many guest amenities at the resort. It offers spa treatments, fitness and wellness components and spa cuisine menu choices. This can be a good choice when one person loves spas and the other loves golf.
