The changing rooms were the first pleasant surprise: each of us had our own individual locker with a soft and comfortable robe, slippers, towel, shampoo, body lotion, soap, cap, a complete hygiene kit with a razor and paraben-free shaving cream. A detail that shows their attention to customers’ well-being.

The environment was welcoming, with soft music and elegant decor. Each private area in the changing rooms had a shower, sink, mirror, and a little bench, all prepared so we could relax without feeling rushed.

Now let’s get to the point: the spa and the cold bath. The space had a pool divided into three areas:

The first, with cold water – and yes, it was cold, but not the extreme ice-cold I was expecting. Even so, the sensation was refreshing and woke me up completely.

The second, a large hot water pool, perfect for relaxing and letting time pass by without worries.

The third, the jacuzzi. There, I relaxed so much that I almost fell asleep. It was exactly what I needed to feel completely renewed.

Besides these areas, there were two special showers: a tropical one, which my sister tried and loved, and a Swedish one that we didn’t have time to test. We also enjoyed the sauna and the steam bath, which were impeccable.

Water was always available, and there were comfortable lounge chairs around the pool, all with a view of the outside through a glass wall.

And the best part? We could stay as long as we wanted for just 30 euros! My sister, who decided to complete the experience with a one-hour full-body relaxing massage, described it as “divine.” And all of this for only 50 euros (spa + massage).

If you know of another place in the world where you can find this level of quality for this price, let me know! Because this experience was truly a hidden gem.

Interestingly, my sister works in tourism and has visited many hotels on professional and personal trips. And even for her, this quality-price ratio was surprising.

It’s true that Luanda was once known as one of the most expensive cities in the world, but that’s not quite the reality anymore. Now, it’s possible to enjoy incredible experiences without spending a fortune.

To finish, we returned to the changing rooms for one last relaxing shower and went up to the top floor. And what a wonderful view! Even with rain, it was something worth seeing. The balcony offers one of the best views in the city.

If you come to Luanda, don’t miss out on this experience. We disconnected from the world outside and left feeling renewed and happy, absolutely sure that we want to come back. Again. And again.
