wow! wow! WOW!

Roger and Mila, special guests from Australia, discover the new misting station, part of the new Payaná Nature Spa project. Undoubtedly, these are two of the most awesome photos I've ever taken, particularly the top one. The Magic of Paya!

payaná nature spa: the misting station

This afternoon we completed the new Misting Station for the Payaná Nature Spa. It's as wonderful and delicious as it looks! When the afternoon sun rays are just right, you find yourself immersed in dozens of mini rainbows! That's the Magic of Paya!

project z: a spa nestled in nature

In addition to Project X, another project currently in the works for 2017 is Project Z. The idea with Project Z is "a flowing spa experience nestled right into nature." It will consist of a series of interconnected levels. Each level will be dedicated to a unique spa treatment, including -- possibly! -- a steam bath inside a small cave! Guests will be able to do the entire series of treatments or pick-and-choose specific ones to enjoy.

spa payaná

We have begun preliminary work on the area that will eventually become the Payaná Nature Spa. By 'nature spa' we mean a spa that is cleverly and respectfully woven into the beautiful nature that we have here at Paya Bay. We are finding the natural grottoes between the trees and rock formations in the sector we've selected, leveling these areas out, and connecting them with paths and/or stairs. Because of the high elevation of this area, many of these niches will also have incredible ocean views. Later we'll construct a series of "treatment huts" for the various natural treatments we'll be offering. Clients will find themselves immersed in lush and wonderful natural surroundings as they move between the treatment huts.

Some of the preliminary work. The goal is to work with nature and not remove a single tree.

I intend to have this project completed by the end of 2010, but we'll begin using the treatment huts as they come online.
