Spoil Yourself

Choose from The Forum Spa's wide selection of therapies, massages, holistic treatments and more. If you want to try something truly unique, why not treat yourself to a Rasul Mud Ritual - an Oriental skin exfoliation using Dead Sea mineral muds. The treatment involves up to four people at a time sitting on heated mosaic seats under 800 'stars' in the roof of a ceramic heated chamber. Shots of steam pass through a bed of dried herbs, gradually increasing the humidity and temperature of the chamber. The mud is finally removed by a tropical 'rainshower'.

Other signature treatments include water therapies such as Dry Floatation and Hydrotherapy, designed to stimulate your body and sense of personal well-being.
