The
Villa is equipped with a state of the art
work-out room with ocean views on 3 sides.
It holds both free weights and enough
equipment for any work-out program.
There is a tread mill, stepper, recumbent
bike and work-out stack. There
are also a number of work-out tapes for
those who like some guidance. Plus, enjoy
the Pilates equipment, DVD’s and books
that are in the gym for your use. The
Pilates combination Reformer & Cadillac equipment
are for the more experienced Pilates
person. There are also high and low
barrels. The Villa Manager can
organize on-property Pilates or yoga lessons
with local professionals.
There
is a 50" plasma flat screen TV, Cable
TV, DVD and VHS players with surround
sound speakers, hot and cold instant water,
a small refrigerator and a 1/2
bathroom. Use the AC or if you prefer,
open all the sliding glass doors and bring
the outside in while you workout to the
sound of the ocean crashing against the
bluff walls below.
A
Finlandia sauna is located beside the gym.
The interior is teak and can hold 6 to 8
people comfortably. Note that it takes
about 20 minutes to come up to full
temperature, at which time, water may be
splashed on the heated stones to create
super heated steam. Please check with
your doctor before using a sauna, and limit
your exposure to the heat to 15 minutes.
CAUTION: Also, be aware,
that when water is splashed on the hot
stones, there is an instant rush of very hot
steam created, so do not stand directly over
the heating unit. Children under 12
should never use a sauna, and children under
16 should always be accompanied by an adult.
Children's skin is much thinner than that of
an adult and their capacity to absorb any
excess heat is much less than that of an
adult.
