Afterwards, we recommend a little indulgence, with a visit to the private men's and women's spa areas, complete with cascading whirlpools, sauna, steam room and lounge. Or skip the exercise altogether and go right for a decadent spa treatment, hydrotherapy or customized massage. Serenity by the sea Spa is hard to resist, all it takes is a call for us to arrange a massage in a private massage suite. A sense of inner peace is a beautiful thing.
