Other dining venues include Tapasake Club, a pool club serving pan-Asian, tapas-style fusion cuisine’ La Veranda, with an open kitchen and live cooking stations; and Caminetti Bar, serving afternoon tea and modern bites alongside alcoholic drinks and cocktails.
Following an exclusive partnership with health and wellness brand Chenot, One&Only Portonovi will offer Chenot Espace – a “transformative journey of detoxing and resetting the body” based on the latest scientific advances and combining this with the best in Chinese and traditional medicines.
After an initial stage of consultation and advance diagnostic tests by medical professionals, guests will receive a bespoke programme involving nutritional consultants, detox menus, fitness schedules, targeted spa treatments, stress relieving activities, and more.
A selection of guest rooms and suites are located directly above the spa, offering privacy for those taking part in more intensive or longer treatment programmes.
