Swimming Pools At the centre of the resort is a massive three pool complex which features a dramatic seven-metre-high water cascade that flows over a rocky slope out of the central building, down over a cave grotto into a warm, winding river complete with a lifelike current. A round party pool is nested into the top area and is surrounded by jet sprays from both top and sides. From the upper pool to the middle pool there is a five-metre drop with waterfalls and a gorge water cascade at the base of the wooden sun deck. The adjacent shallow pool 'sun shelf' provides a 'walk-on-water' illusion. Matching spa pavilions frame the middle area, while an outrageous 80-metre corkscrew water slide is integrated into the slope's natural twists and curves, exiting into the middle pool. Bridge crossovers allow land-bound guests to view guests on the water slide. The lower pool is the largest of the three and has an expansive sun deck area with unobstructed views of the sea. Shallow pools and sun-lounging terraces allow guests to sit in the water or along the broad steps and soak up the sunshine.
