Built near the waterpark is the resort’s Lotus Suria Spa that specialises in the traditional Indian health practice of Ayurveda. The spa offers various kinds of Ayurvedic treatments such as oil baths, steam baths, oil dripping and a de-stress therapy. I cannot help but think the latter will be particularly enticing to the many parents I see patiently attending to their children in the swimming pool.
