Two-storey LivNordic spa to open at Katara Beach Club
Spa operator Raison d’Etre will open a two-storey, 4,600sq m (49,514sq ft) LivNordic Spa at the Katara Beach Club in the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar.
Set to open in Q1 2017, the Katara Beach Club by LivNordic Spa & Wellness will be on two club floors, with the ground floor for men and the first floor for women.
Designed by Gillian Docherty of Studio HBA in Dubai, the spa aims to bring the outside in with an interplay of light and shadow. It makes use of natural materials such as stone, raw timbers and timber features throughout its design, and spaces in the desert spa are designed to have a cooling and calming effect.
A unique relaxation room has an Aurora Borealis ceiling light feature, along with water features on the floor and walkways winding through, relaxation pods with built-in music stations, and a faux fire.
A fitness centre, also operated by Raison d'Etre, will include the latest Technogym equipment, Escape functional training zones, and a focus on indoor and outdoor fitness, while a café and juice bar will also feature.
This is the second Middle Eastern location for the Swedish LivNordic brand; a LivNordic spa opened earlier this year in Dubai's twisting Cayan Tower.
