Personalized Spa Treatments and Easy Navigation
Our spa implements personalized approaches and thoughtful design, alongside various different service adaptations, to ensure all guests, including those with specific needs, are able to easily navigate, comprehend, and enjoy the spa’s functions. As soon as a guest with specific needs arrives at our spa, they immediately receive a personalized consultation to tailor their experience for maximum comfort and enjoyment. Here’s how our spa addresses some of the most important accessibility considerations:
-
Personalized treatment optimization: we have a dedicated team that assesses each guest’s needs from the moment they arrive, to ensure ongoing comfort and satisfaction throughout their visit. In this process, we provide personalized services using a range of adaptable techniques. For example, we offer clear and detailed descriptions of all treatments; guidance for choosing the best treatments based on individual needs; and adaptable treatment options such as varying pressure for massages, adjusted lighting in treatment rooms, and customized aromatherapy. Additionally, our team is trained to understand and respond to non-verbal cues and provide clear verbal descriptions of each step of the treatment for guests with visual impairments. To request personalized adjustments at any time, guests need only to speak to any member of our staff. Guests also receive a welcoming introduction to our personalized service options as soon as they enter the spa.
These personalized treatments are designed to be inclusive and cater to a wide range of needs and preferences.
