Naruwan Hotel builds its spirit around the concept of “welcome,” adorning the atmosphere with indigenous colors to create a strong sense of vacation from the moment you arrive. The hot springs here use the Kyowa Hot Spring system developed by the Japanese; sourced from 3,000 meters below sea level, the seabed mud undergoes high temperature and pressure to form a type of crystal, which then releases beneficial negative ions and infrared rays when flushed with hot water.
The spa center, designed with the concept of “living water & vitality,” offers 16 different types of spa treatments that massage various acupoints on the body to promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and relax muscles. The exclusive “saltwater wellness pool” can also boost metabolism and smooth the skin.
Luxurious and comfortable guest rooms include the Starry Sky Bath Room, where seven-square-meter terraces feature stone-built outdoor baths of various styles, which are especially popular among visitors. (Image provided by ScenicSpots.com)
