The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Blissful Massage Experience

During our stay, my partner and I indulged in a couple's 90-minute massage at the spa. Although I initially thought it was a bit pricey, it turned out to be well worth every penny. The ambiance was serene, and the massage itself was one of the best I've ever had, leaving us feeling truly rejuvenated.

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

Breakfast at the Empire Spa Retreat was a delight each morning. We enjoyed a diverse and imaginative buffet, along with made-to-order eggs and bacon. Each day featured a new hot dish, which kept our taste buds excited. The attentive service made our breakfast experience even more enjoyable!

I was in awe of our deluxe villa, which was tastefully furnished and decorated. The outdoor shower, set in a natural bush setting, was an unexpected delight. It felt like a true retreat with quality amenities that made our stay even more comfortable and luxurious.
