2006/2007 Press Highlights

"The two over-sea couple's treatment rooms at RafflesAmrita spa (at Raffles Canouan) are the only ones I know of in the Western Hemisphere. Even the arrival is something special: you take a dinghy from spa reception to the suite, which holds two massage tables, a steam shower, dressing room, and relaxation area with a day bed and chaises. But it's the sea life - blue tang, chub fish, snapper, and eels - that's the star, and it's shown in wide-screen. In the floor of each treatment room are 16 glass panels, each of them 22 inches by 24 inches. That's 64 square feet of transparency, and its soothing effects are crystal clear" - Luxury Spa Finder, September 2007
