St Lucia’s BodyHoliday Resort, which completed a $20 million renovation last year, will soon debut its Tree House spin studio, the property announced in a release.

The 1,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed structure is located on a hillside near the resort’s 30,000-square-foot wellness centre.

It is encased in eight-foot floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and features 25 LiveStrong-branded spinning bikes.

On the structure’s roof is an open-air “Zen Deck,” which functions as a yoga studio, archery range and dinner reception space.

The resort said the studio could also be used to host business events and wedding receptions.
