Indonesian-inspired spa debuts in Lithuania

by Rebecca Barnes | 20 Feb 2017

A four-star hotel in the traditional spa town of Druskininkai, southern Lithuania, is now open and features a design inspired by Indonesian style.

With panoramic views of the old town and the Nemunas River, the Flores Hotel features 42 light-filled rooms featuring wafer-thin metal chandeliers, natural carpets, beds decorated with wood mosaic, and sinks carved from marble or sturdy wood in the marble bathrooms.

Lithuanian architects Ponama created a modern but exotic space using bamboo, carved wood, marble and original furniture from Bali. The majority of the fixtures and fittings in the hotel have been sourced and shipped from the Far East. Soft tones and natural materials include the finest stone finishing, sandstone, marble and wood, plus banana leaf mats, and hand-made Balinese light fixtures and furniture.

Occupying 322sq m (3,465sq ft), the Flores Spa features steam baths, water massage beds, marble baths, hammam beds, tropical rain showers and vibrating manicure and pedicure chairs.

A glass gallery connects the hotel and spa to the Druskininkai Aquapark and the Druskininkai Health Resort.
