THE FOREST SPA

at THE ARK on BOWEN

 

THE FOREST SPA

is

a Scandinavian sauna built into the side of a cliff perched above Bowen's Killarney Lake.

Interior windows look over the tree canopy and mist. 

Outside a large deck hugs the jagged edge of the moss-covered cliff.  Two outdoor sunken tubs are perfect for hot/cold plunges, forest bathing and stargazing.

IT IS A PLACE.. 

..unlike no other , you drop down into a cocoon of tranquility and beauty where the smell of the cedars embraces you.

Lie back in a hot steamy bath and be present with it all, the trees, the mists, the eagles soaring overhead!
