The fitness room is a glassed-in space that looks out onto the sea. Music is permitted, but that's the only distraction allowed. Mind, body, and spirit must all come into harmony to achieve a complete state of well-being, Igra asserts. Most spas offer a quick fix, a week of treatments and workouts, but they don't leave the client with a lasting effect, says Igra. Mud baths, skin peelings, and hydrotherapy baths are offered outdoors.
Beds face the sea, where the warm air and breathtaking view sink into every pore.
There is an amphitheater for yoga, tai chi, music, or lectures, where echoes of activities reverberate against the rugged mountains behind. The outdoor terrace with juice bar facing the sea is an ideal spot to take a breather between activities. Each room is equipped with a Jacuzzi and a private terrace. Adding to the overall serenity and pleasure, mobile phones are not allowed in the public areas, there is no smoking except in one appointed area, only guests of Herods Palace or Vitalis are permitted to use the facilities or have treatments, and children under 16 are not allowed on the premises. Spa guests with young children, are allocated rooms on the 11th floor of Herods Palace.
