Industry Intelligence 11 Best New Spas for 2022
Lesante Cape, Greece
Gleneagles Townhouse, Scotland
Five-star bio-fuelled spa and wellness facilities
A dedication to treatment and therapy
O
pening in late May, Lesante Cape is the new property in the Lesante Collection, a family-owned group of five-star abodes on Zakynthos. The village-style resort’s Armonia Wellness & Spa will be uniquely powered by an onsite bio-farm. Based on the three core principles of ‘unwind, restore, elevate’ the 400sqm spa is billed as an ‘oasis of tranquillity to relax, pamper and rejuvenate’. Healing treatments and therapies will be inspired by ancient Mediterranean healing practices, using natural and planet-friendly products. Facilities will include four treatment rooms (one suite) and a massage space, as well as a sauna, a hammam, an adventure shower and an indoor hot tub area. The indoor pool is inspired by ancient Greek architecture and is complemented by an open-air relaxation space. A fitness centre completes the offering. The resort will comprise 55 guest suites and ten villas with private beach access.
A
state-of-the-art wellness space, The Strong Rooms will be housed in the old bank vault in the 33-room Gleneagles Townhouse, a hotel, restaurant and member’s club coming to Edinburgh’s St. Andrew Square this spring. Designed by Ennismore Design Studio, the dedicated treatment and therapy space will provide two treatment rooms offering a curated selection of Gleneagles Signature Treatments as well as offerings from partners Dr. Barbara Sturm and Tata Harper. The holistic wellness offering is enriched and enhanced by the latest technology, with cryotherapy and infrared saunas. Alongside this, a fully equipped gym space, providing an ultra-modern, holistic fitness experience, will also offer an immersive programme of al fresco wellbeing and fitness classes as well as experiences including regular running and cycling clubs. A virtual platform will bring an immersive audio-visual dimension to the Townhouse’s class studios. “The intention for The Strong Rooms and our wider wellness offering is to create a hugely progressive, first-of-its-kind wellness experience curated by local, best-in-class practitioners,” says Gleneagles’ director of leisure Colin Farndon.
