Damu

Damu is an elemental, cave-like spa sanctuary, discreetly hidden next door to the Mandrake Hotel. The spaces were created through a subtle combination of advanced digital fabrication and artisanal hand applied finishing techniques, which balance a blend of cutting edge technologies with a warm and earthy rawness.

The Origin Pool is a unique transformative wellness environment which recreates the immersive experience of being in the womb; precisely balancing temperature, zero gravity, vibrations, soundscape, rain shower and drone choir within a sealed chamber. Manalo & White coordinated the intricate technical design and complex fabrication with a large team of specialists.
