Limegrove Spa & Fitness to launch at 700-berth Limassol Marina, Cyprus
The Limegrove Spa & Fitness at Limassol Marina, Cyprus, is a three-storey stand-alone wellness centre project by Spa Creators that will officially launch on 13 July.
The spa and health facility is owned by SCIMPO Investments – a company specialised in wellness projects which is contributed to by various financial investors, including the centre’s operating company – spa consultancy C&G Spa Creators. The Limegrove project – located in a marina complex which has up to 700 berthing places – took approximately three years to complete – having been put on hold for financial reasons for one of those years.
Limegrove Spa & Fitness, a wellness concept by C&G Spa Creators, will feature five customised spa treatment rooms on the top floor, a retail area, relaxation room, sunbathing deck and a sea view terrace. There is room to add two more treatment rooms if needed.
The middle floor comprises a 20m outdoor lap pool, hair salon, lobby and gym – the cardio suite is situated over the water in the marina.
On the lower level, there are changing rooms for men and women for the gym – there are separate changing rooms for spa customers, a steamroom and sauna, a studio for meditation, yoga and Pilates as well as an outdoor fitness area.
“The Limegrove facility fills a gap in the market,” Chris Anastassiou, managing director of Spa Creators for Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, told Spa Opportunities. “There’s nothing like this in the whole of Cyprus – a day spa concept totally separate from any hotel accommodation. The Limegrove spa offers the standards of a five-star hotel but in a specialised environment that hotels don’t have because that is not their core business.”
While the Limegrove expects some transient clientele, for example yacht owners visiting the marina, the majority of its members will be locals who become regulars, meaning the facility will have a more social ambience. According to Anastassiou, the centre anticipates 600 to 650 members.
As Spa Creators are distributors of Li’tya spa products, the Limegrove will be supplied by the Australian Aborigine product house. Li’tya, meaning ‘of the Earth’, is a range of skin, hair and body products made from indigenous Australian plants and the principles of modern and indigenous herbalism, aromatherapy and touch therapy. Treatments include spa rituals, massage journeys, facials, body wraps, slimming packages. Li’tya is also used within the hair salon and the men’s barber experience comprises a number of shaving experiences. All of the spa’s therapists are trained by Li’tya.
Other product lines included in the hair salon and spa are Nashi Argan, Kerastase, Redken For Men and Vita Liberata.
The fitness classes will be provided by Les Mills-trained instructors and personal trainers.
