Canyon Ranch plans destination resort on Indonesian island
US wellness group Canyon Ranch has announced plans for its first resort on foreign soil – an integrative retreat on the Indonesian island of Bintan.
The company, which operates high-profile facilities across the US, told Spa Opportunities that it already considers its SpaClub facilities on cruise ships to be international, but that this would be the first fixed overseas location, with further announcements expected later in the year.
Bintan is the largest of 3,200 islands that make up the Riau Island Archipelago and is accessible via a 45-minute high-speed ferry ride from the south shore of Singapore.
Canyon Ranch Bintan – which is being developed by Malaysian firm Landmarks Berhad and will be operated by Canyon Ranch – consists of 64 hotel suites and 64 villas and is expected to open by Q3 of 2016. The destination resort lies within the island’s Treasure Bay development, sandwiched by natural mangroves and white sand.
Residents and guests will have access to a range of classes and consultations encompassing the five pillars that make up the Canyon Ranch wellness philosophy: Health & Healing, Fitness & Movement, Spa & Beauty, Spirituality, and Food & Nutrition.
Details are sparse for the currently under-design integrative health and spa facility, but Canyon Ranch says it will offer private medical consultations; fitness activities; and pampering, as well as therapeutic skincare and body treatments.
The cornerstone of the spa will be Aquavana – a European-inspired aqua thermal oasis with experiential rains, herbal laconium, a chill room and crystal steamroom focused on the ancient concept of “healing by water”.
“For the last three decades we have been leading the health and fitness revolution in the United States and are thrilled to bring our signature integrative wellness programming and exceptional customer service to the international market,” said Canyon Ranch COO Peter Smith.
“We look forward to sharing ‘the power of possibility’ with the residents and guests of Treasure Bay Bintan.”
