“One of the most exciting — and most challenging — aspects of our design was the integration of three state-of-the-art experience rooms purchased from Spa Visions in Germany: a Turkish Bath, an Experience Shower with Snowfall, and a Sabbia Med Room. These rooms are a defining feature of our spa and set us apart in the industry, but their installation required complex electrical and plumbing systems that went beyond standard salon buildouts. Our salon is designed to exude luxury in a welcoming way, with a fresh, modern aesthetic that feels both classic and contemporary. Everything is located on one open, accessible floor whose thoughtful flow was designed with both guest relaxation and team efficiency in mind.”
