In addition, a fitness centre, offering aerobics classes, and a 3km jogging and walking track has been created within the grounds. More importantly, for the first time in the country, a unique Aquamedic Spa will be equipped with a thalasso-therapy pool offering specialised massage and hydrotherapy treatments.

Synonymous with the Hilton brand throughout the world, the hotel's conference and banqueting facilities will offer state-of-the-art equipment. The Hilton Meetings® facilities include eight meeting rooms, a dedicated 24-hour business centre, conference facilities, and executive room amenities in all hotel rooms.
