ELENA SEMENTSOVA: “SOLE LIFESTYLE & SPA – A GUIDE TO THE WORLD OF BEAUTY AND HEALTH”

Recently, a new space of beauty and harmony, SOLE Lifestyle & SPA, has opened its doors in the luxurious Del Mar complex in Limassol. Its owner Elena Sementsova presents SOLE as a guide for each client to the world of awareness, love, and respect for one’s body, where self-care becomes an exquisite pleasure. We met with Elena to discuss this unique space’s concept and its philosophy.

Elena, tell us how the idea of such a spa came to you?

Having moved to Cyprus a few years ago from noisy Moscow, it took me a long time to get used to the calm, measured Mediterranean lifestyle. I began looking for a place for myself and my family to put myself in order and relax my body and soul — and all this is of high quality, quickly and comfortably, in a single space.

More and more delving into the topic, I was convinced that the Cypriot level of service needed to meet my usual expectations. And suddenly, it came to my mind: why shouldn’t I create such a space where excellent service and relaxation are combined, where every minute brings joy, fills with energy, and gives aesthetic pleasure. This is how the SOLE idea was born. In its own way, it was a challenge for me.

What was the path from the idea to its realization?

We started by analyzing the Cypriot market situation for such services, the basic needs, and people’s expectations. We understand that men and women invariably want to prolong their youth, look well­groomed, and maintain their health.

Based on this, we set ourselves the task of creating a space that would guide us to the world of awareness, love, and respect for our bodies, where selfcare would become an exquisite pleasure. We have defined a mission: to inspire people to change and help them find their way to harmony and beauty.

Was it difficult to open such a project in Cyprus?

We faced a difficult task: to find a construction company that would carry out the planned project at the right level and with the right quality and ensures the uninterrupted supply of building materials and all the necessary equipment. Everyone who has experienced construction in Cyprus will sincerely understand me. Unfortunately, all processes here slow down significantly and this, of course, made us pretty nervous before opening.

SOLE is not just a spa but a whole lifestyle space, as you position it. What makes it the center of gravity?

At SOLE Del Mar, we present a new concept of self ­ care. It is based on a comprehensive approach to recovery: the harmonious development of the body and spirit, combined with effective spa treatments and alternative methods of diagnosis and recovery. Each person is unique and inimitable; beauty is harmony, and it takes effort to reveal beauty. It is about taking care of your appearance and your inner world, health, consciousness, and soul. Our main goal is for a person, having crossed the threshold of SOLE, to feel surrounded by care, love, and warmth. So that our specialists do everything to the maximum so that he is comfortable here and that he can disconnect from the outside world and everyday worries for this time. And most importantly, what we are striving for is that aperson not only embellishes himself externally and does a manicure and hairdo but also findsbalance and harmony inside. We often need this today, but it is essential.

After all, when a person is well­groomed, but his eyes are dull, they do not radiate the energy of happiness this is sad. And giving it to people is even more energizing for further actions and help in inner healing.

And what services does SOLE provide?

We divide guests into two types: those who come to do some one­time procedures, whether it be a manicure, hairstyle, or massage, and those who want to take care of themselves, their appearance, and their health more seriously. For the second category, we are preparing an individual comprehensive health improvement program. It all starts with the diagnosis of the body, the study of its features, and consultations with a spa therapist and a nutritionist. Then we select a suitable tactic, which includes various methods, practices, and options for packages of procedures that our specialists offer.

SOLE signature services include hydrotherapy, luxury facials, and body treatments for women and men. In addition, our „arsenal“ includes spa rituals on cosmetics of famous world brands, a body shaping program, modeling procedures, body peelings, massage therapy, and hydrotherapy, including a Charcot shower and a spa capsule. There are also offers for children, teenagers, and pregnant women. And, of course, various types of hardware face and body cosmetology, stylist services, nail services, and complete hair care.

Do you have any innovative equipment that can be called your feature?

One of the main tasks in creating SOLE was to collect the best invented by man in beauty and care. Therefore, all areas of our space are equipped with the most modern equipment. Interestingly, we and also our guests took part in this business.

So, we have two saunas, Finnish and infrared, a wellness coach with vibration­wave acoustic therapy for deep relaxation of the body, and a Charcot shower, which we brought from America at the request of many of my friends. Everyone was waiting for our proprietary device to diagnose the face and body.
