Work has started on the new Mimosa spa at the Miramar Beach Hotel in Nice, France, which is slated for completion in early 2013.
Spa consultants, Spa Creators, were appointed by Gobal Hotels Group to oversee the spa development - an extension of its previous facilities - which is part of a multi-million Euro refurbishment at this 58-bed, five star boutique hotel. French architect, MZA and Scottish interior design company, Magna Design, is also working on the project.
The spa will span three storeys, starting at reception on level two, with luxury changing rooms, a fitness suite, with resistance and cardio equipment and an outdoor fitness area, with access to the gardens for yoga and pilates classes.
Six new treatment rooms are on level one, offering holistic treatments and vichy and rasul experiences, which are already popular at the hotel. There will also be pre and post treatment relaxation areas enjoying stunning sea views.
Down to level zero, there is a thermal suite with access to the deck levelled vitality and infinity pools, with views out to sea and poolside relaxation areas. A new tented Marrakesh-themed poolside bar and restaurant completes the spa offer.
Spa Creators director, Alistair Johnson, says guests and high end second home owners are the primary target: “There are a number of luxury properties in the area. As well as aiming for day visitors, we will also be developing a high end leisure membership, which will be limited to 100 members.”
The pre-opening markeing is about to get underway and the decision on the product ranges is imminent. Johnson says there will definitely be a French marine range and the company is talking to a British brand which uses mimosa in its products, which reflects the name and the local trees.
