Champneys opens Detox and Wellbeing spa extension
Champneys has opened a new Detox and Wellbeing spa in Tring, England, in celebration of its 90th anniversary.
The new detox spa offers a selection of water-based personalised treatments inspired by the foundations of ancient spiritual cleansing and using seawater, algae and marine minerals to stimulate and cleanse the body and mind.
“People today want to completely relax and cleanse themselves at weekends,” owner Stephen Purdew told Spa Opportunities. “This is a serious spa experience.”
The detox spa includes vichy showers, hydrotherapy, wraps, dry floatation, oxygen infusions, Kniepp foot bathing, thalassotherapy pools, manual underwater massage, pressotheraphy, an iPulse slimming solution, marine mud and aromatic oil floatation, salt steam inhalation room and a relaxation room.
Visitors can add a detox package to a traditional spa visit, visit the detox spa for the day, or stay for overnight packages starting at two nights.
A Voyage of Discovery programme lasts 2.5 hours and includes a six-step programme to detox, improve circulation, promote wellbeing or help slim and tone. A personal consultation with a therapist helps decide on treatments during a five-step saltwater and mineral treatment experience.
The health spa also offers a diet and wellbeing aspect to the packages, with low-sugar, goat’s milk or gluten-free options.
“There’s an emphasis on nutrition and nutritional policy that you wouldn’t get in a hotel,” said Purdew.
Purdew thinks the detox spa – which opened earlier this month – has had a “fantastic reaction” so far, and will be a welcome addition for Champneys regulars, but will also attract new customers.
“It will bring in the more serious spa-goer and secure that market,” said Purdew. “The packages just for detox take it to the next level.”
