Perched on the coastal cliffs of Injidub Bay, you will find the Injidup Spa Retreat. This beachside getaway is adults-only, with a focus on privacy, relaxation, and restoration for your mind and your body. 

While the spa treatments are endless, the real draw for this resort are the ten luxury villas, each with its own secluded plunge pool with views of the ocean. To top it all off, all treatment rooms have uninterrupted views of the sea, allowing you to relax and unwind to the sound of crashing waves.

One of the more unique treatments they have is a Thai offering, which sees you lie down fully clothed, while the therapist uses different stretching, pressure, and movement techniques to relieve tension and stress and help you relax.
