Tati is especially passionate about skincare and how it influences general well-being with her interests focused on alternative healing methods and holistic wellness approaches. She enthused “The skin is the largest organ of a body, and naturally the state of our skin has an impact on our overall well-being and life quality. Nowadays, we know that stress, environmental influences, and our diet impact our skin's health. So, it is only natural to make this a focus of a spa treatment."
Uplifting wellness programmes further, the resort has unveiled its lineup of visiting practitioners who will be arriving at the resort to enhance guest experiences and wellness portfolio throughout the year.
