ESPA spa with snow cabin to feature at upcoming One&Only Sanya
by Jane Kitchen | 27 Apr 2017
Water features will unite different areas of the resort
A 2,850sq m ESPA spa will be part of the One&Only Sanya, set to open later this year.
The first One&Only in China, One&Only Sanya will open in Q4 2017. The 190-bedroom resort is designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy and will be situated among 40 acres of palm trees with views of the South China Sea.
The ESPA spa will be set in a secluded garden area, and include an authentic Moroccan hammam and a snow cabin. Signature treatments will include Island Hammam Glow and Mindfulness Moment experiences.
The vision of the resort is designed to reflect the local culture of the region, bringing a sense of destination both indoors and out, and Gathy has used red as a prominent colour throughout, in homage to the Chinese sentiment for the colour, with playful touches such as a red lacquered piano.
Vast dramatic water gardens will ripple throughout the resort, uniting the dining venues, spa, fitness centre and kids club.
The interior design throughout the resort is described as “lively and animated” and Gathy has created a large aquarium in the poolside cafe for guests to select their catch of the day.
“My role is to serve the market and I have considered this in all aspects of the design of One&Only Sanya,” said Gathy.
