One of the Caribbean’s greatest luxury hotels has debuted a major new spa: the first-ever Natura Bisse-branded spa in the world.

The Dominican Republic’s Eden Roc Cap Cana has unveiled the new $2 million, 30,000-square-foot spa called the Solaya Spa and Wellness Center.

It’s home to 12 treatment rooms with indoor and outdoor cabins, a 1,200-square-foot anti-gravity yoga area, an indoor and outdoor aqua garden and a freshwater pool.

That’s along with a 3,000-square-foot gym with an in-house personal trainer and even a wellness bar with tropical fruit juices and smoothies.

It’s led by spa director Pedro Castillo, whose resume includes stops at international spas across Europe, the United States, South America and the Caribbean with brands like Dreams and Secrets.

“The Solaya Spa Fitness & Wellness has been designed to ensure every need of our guests is met so they can unwind and recharge in the most luxurious and relaxing facilities in the Caribbean,” Castillo said in a statement. “We are dedicated to offering exceptional experiences for each guest with close attention to detail, from champagne upon arrival to customized treatments. We know each face and each body is unique so our goal is to surpass all expectations for unparalleled results. Guests will leave our brand-new state-of-the-art facilities feeling relaxed, uplifted and rejuvenated.”
