The Island Spa has a heated Seawater Therapy Pool, a unique feature with numerous benefits. Seawater is pumped daily from the Atlantic Ocean into the Seawater Therapy Pool and heated to 31 degrees. Swimming in water at this temperature opens the pores of the skin allowing the absorption of nutrients from the seawater. A selection of jets, bubble seats and counter currents within the pool offers guests a complete workout underwater.
As the human body is much lighter in seawater, the seawater pool is of benefit to people of all ages and abilities and is particularly beneficial to those who cannot swim or are fearful of water, as the salt in the water makes the body more buoyant and aids floatation.
To ensure that all guests can enjoy the Seawater Therapy Pool, we have specific Children's Hours in the pool. These are from 10am to 12.30pm and 3pm to 5.30pm.
