Pool villa:

The 19 pool villas house a living room on the ground floor and a bedroom above. Each villa comes with a shower room that has a skylight roof and a personal jacuzzi on the rooftop. “One of the main elements of spa is water. So the idea is that you step out of your room, take a dip in the pool where there will be water-related activities and then go for a spa,” said Harsh Neotia.
