Experiences at Naiko
Nothing here is compulsory
The wellness room is a 1968 spaceship
The restored Futuro at Deep Creek is a treatment room, not part of the accommodation. Book one of Naiko's therapists and it is yours for the hour.

Massage in the Futuro

Pause inHouse Wellbeing · Solace Massage & Yoga
A class on the deck with the sound of the waves underneath it. Suitable for people who have never stood on a mat. Moves inside if the weather turns, and the view is no worse for it.
