Luxurious Spa Loungers
SPA-NTASTIC LOUNGERS FROM FREIXANET WELLNESS
With the growing trend of including a spa in modern house design, new equipment and furniture like saunas and loungers become a focus of interest. You can’t exactly pop to the shop to acquire them, but the number of specialised companies offering wellness installations are growing. For some inspiration, we explore one of Spain’s top manufacturer’s range of luxury spa lounger designs that are featured in top hotels all across the country.
WORDS MADDIE QUINN
Relaxation forms an important part of a wellness circuit, so as well as saunas, baths and cabins, a good spa should also include a quiet and private space where the mind can rest and the body can return to its balance. An area with tiled or stone benches that emanate optimum heat will do the job perfectly, maximising the health benefits while also enhancing the visual impact of the interior. The best loungers with a long lifespan will be constructed from high quality, durable materials with an ergonomic shape and come with a seamlessly integrated heating system. ›
COCOON
One of Freixanet’s latest creations instantly become a muse for the luxury spa at the new L’Azure Hotel in Lloret de Mar. The Cocoon can be called a lounger, an armchair or perhaps a bed, but it surely ticks all the boxes of comfort and relaxation. Living up to its name, its organic lines snugly encase the body while the built-in heating system keeps the stone at an optimum temperature. Its elegantly avantgarde design offers versatile use and fits well with any spa interior.
MINIMAL
The Minimal model follows the body with straight lines for a very slick and contemporary look. A watertight light strip is aesthetically integrated under the bed and into the bottom of the structure to add an extra dimension and a warm ambience to the space. Among others, Barcelo’s Royal Hideaway opted for this minimal design to enhance their five-star elegance.
FREIXANET FOR PERFECTION
Freixanet’s exclusive manufacturing system, Wellpro® enables the building of structures that provide maximum resistance in a humid spa environment. Using Wellpro®, every design can be adapted in shape and size to fit any particular space without compromising durability or quality. Both their regular models and tailor-made solutions can be clad with a range of materials including mosaic, porcelain and ceramic tiles or sensual natural stone. Needless to say that for ultimate comfort, all designs come native with state-of-the-art heating installation.
HEATED STONE BENCH
An easy way to enhance your spa’s design is to create a central focal point with a heated stone bench. It’s not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a very practical element as it provides an easy resting point between wellness sessions such as a sauna, showers or dynamic pools.
ERGO
Traditional but elegant, this wavy spa lounger lends itself to a mosaic tiled finish. Its dynamic shape is both highly ergonomic and inviting for what one could imagine as a floating sensation. Perfect for the ultimate relaxation while also making a strong but fun statement as a design feature.
LET’S PLUNGE
If you developed a taste for a private spa, Freixanet doesn’t stop at loungers. From saunas, integrated steam cabins, hydrotherapy baths or wellness showers to specialised pools, they offer just about everything to do with wellness equipment. Their worldwide service even reaches Marbella where they have not only designed and installed spas for hotels such as Finca Cortesin, Healthouse Las Dunas and Don Carlos Resort & Spa, but also in high profile residential areas like La Zagaleta and Sierra Blanca.
