The lower level is a luxury room besides also being a business centre. The Jacuzzi, indoor and outdoor gym, library, spa and other function rooms are also at the lower level.
All the socializing can be done at the upper level which boasts of having an amphitheater, a pool with a sunk in bar, a lounge and a dance floor with a DJ booth if you plan to host some rather exciting parties. The entertainment level also has barbecue facilities. Keep up with their unique styles, the Missonis have connected these two levels with an organic mesh tree which has been given a very creative look. The mezzanine floor to which the tree also connects is a place where you can enjoy a peaceful meal and enjoy the surrounding environs which include a tropical rainforest that has been designed entirely by the Missoni team.
An interesting blend of art and luxury designs Acqua Livingston also has a sports and luxury complex known as the Pebbles which also has three waterfalls. The RiverWalk promenade with its many restaurants is located near Pebbles. The Boardwalk near the promenade provides a shuttle service which will take you to and fro Makita City.
