The Largest Spa in the Indian Ocean

The U-Spa is impressive in size and in quality. The grounds were beautiful. The setting was idyllic. The massage was just what I needed before getting on a 9.5 hour flight. Leslie got a facial and it was great.  Leslie's procedure was one hour while mine was 90 minutes. While I was getting massaged she was sitting in the in water bubble chair. There were so many bubbles he had a hang on to the chair or she was going to float on out of there. They had a huge variety of different water themed spots.  There was a part that had cold water squirting out from one side and hot water squirting out from the other as you walk along a footpath. There was a big pool in the centre there were waterfalls. With 19 Treatment Rooms spread around the exterior of the central pool they are ready for a party. Before we went to the spa we squeezed out as much of our deck as we could. Even though it was raining we were out there enjoying it! I was able to really get a great shot of the tropicbird. We also decided that pizza would be great for lunch so we can have some leftovers for breakfast. It was going to be an early morning so it would be great to have something before catching the flight.



 I spent many hours trying to photograph this acrobatic fast bird the whitetail tropicbird



It is so graceful and I am so grateful to get this shot


You can see how hurt it's raining by looking at the surface of the pool


We are still enjoying the deck


Can you see the pizza oven in the background?


Yes that is the Indian Ocean through those trees
