Spa Breaks

Inspired by the famed Apothecaries’ Barge that was moored off the Thames in London in the 17th century, the Floating Spa is housed in a specially built riverboat. A variety of treatments are yours to choose from – from the ‘Monk’s Elixir’ inspired by the monks after which the island is named, to therapies using unique British ingredients, to an authentic Malay massage.
