Wellness

Indulge in Balinese massage and aromatherapy.

Make wellness a priority at Aqua Blu’s onboard spa and outdoor workout zone. Indulge in Balinese massage and aromatherapy from their onboard therapist or work up a sweat in the exercise area. Take your massage outdoors, if you wish. When you're ready to relax, few things are more enjoyable in the tropics than cooling off in Aqua Blu’s jacuzzi, which is flanked by plush daybeds for sunbathing and perhaps even a snooze after a diving or snorkeling session!
