The programme has been designed to accommodate guests of all ages and levels of fitness.

A dedicated team of wellness specialists will accompany guests on their journey. Fitness lifestyle expert Natasha Eksteen, yoga instructor Jenni Kauppila, and nutritionist Dalila Roglieri will be on hand to help.
