Tropical Spanish resort to launch Six Senses Spa
Puente Romano Beach Resort Marbella is set to launch a Six Senses Spa in Q3 2015 as part of an extensive multi-million euro refurbishment to the property in the Costa del Sol on the southern coast of Spain.
Resembling an Andalusian village, the 264-guestroom resort is spread across 27 three-storey villas and is set amid 55,000sq m (592,016sq ft) of subtropical gardens featuring more than 400 species of plant life from all over the world.
The Six Senses Spa will feature nine treatment rooms when it opens, six of which will be on the ground floor and three of which will be on the floor above. The design, by Six Senses, incorporates white and blue tiles and natural oak timber floors. The ground floor reception lounge area will lead into a relaxation lounge containing a nail bar with views of the Mediterranean sea and a waiting area.
The spa’s wet area will include a hydrotherapy pool, a cold plunge pool, ice experience showers, a herbal steamroom, sauna and hammam.
The three further treatment rooms on the floor above are in an outdoor area and they have canopied roofs with swing cabanas overlooking the sea. All treatment tables are supplied by Gharieni.
QMS Medicosmetics and The Organic Pharmacy are the confirmed skincare product partners for the spa.
Six Senses also plans to offer a series of its yogic programmes and integrated wellness retreats at the property.
The refurbishment to the entire property will continue throughout 2015 and has comprised restaurants, rooms, suites and common areas. The resort has also been renamed, from Puente Romano Hotel to Puente Romano Beach Resort, as part of the revamp.
Other features at the property include interior design by Andrew Martin, seven restaurants, a tennis club, 18-hole golf centre and an equestrian centre.
Six Senses recently announced the opening of a Six Senses resort with a spa set to open in July 2015 in the Seychelles: Six Senses Zil Pasyon resort.
