Clinique La Prairie inks new deal

Swiss longevity brand Clinique

La Prairie has announced a deal with Montara Hospitality Group to operate a resort at its purpose-built wellness community in Phuket, Thailand.

The project – called Tri Vananda and envisioned as a haven for holistic wellbeing – has been in the works since 2018 and is backed by a significant investment of THB 6,600 billion (€177.3 million, US$199.7 million, £149.2 million).

Spearheaded by Montara, the developer behind the established Trisara Resort and Spa in Phuket, the 232-acre project is poised to “redefine wellness living”.

Once completed, Tri Vananda will feature 70 residential villas and a Clinique La Prairie Health Resort comprising comprehensive medical and wellness facilities.

The resort's offering will focus on functional and integrative medicine, nutrition, cognitive health and mindfulness.

“Clinique La Prairie's expertise in longevity and its innovative approach makes it the ideal partner to realise our vision of establishing Tri Vananda

as the gold standard for wellness hospitality in Asia,” said Kittisak Pattamasaevi, CEO of Montara.

Ophelia Yeung unveils GWI’s Wellness Policy

Toolkit focused on ‘wellness in tourism’

Industry research organisation, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), has announced the release of a new report called Wellness Policy Toolkit: Wellness in Tourism.

It puts forth numerous actions for every stakeholder – whether government or travel industry leaders – to bring wellness to all in the context of tourism.

Importantly, the report introduces a new paradigm, which broadens the focus from wellness tourism to wellness in tourism.

The GWI says the toolkit does not rehash wellness tourism strategies that focus on developing luxury spa resorts and bringing in highspend tourists. Rather, the aim is to unite the concepts of wellness

Discipline, focus, and balance have been key to my success on the field

and tourism in the broadest possible sense, and to present policy ideas that help everyone.

It outlines strategies to enhance the quality of place for tourists, make tourism more successful and, at the same time, improve the wellbeing of both local residents and the destination.

“Wellness tourism doesn't exist in a vacuum and wellness travellers can't be confined to a bubble,” said Ophelia Yeung, GWI senior research fellow.

“For those who want to succeed in wellness tourism, it's only logical to focus more attention on the wellness of the place – including the local wellness infrastructure, the wellness of its people, and the destination.”

Cristiano Ronaldo crashes the app store with launch of new health app

Portugese footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, has launched a health and wellness app that harmonises advice on fitness, nutrition and mental wellness in one seamless experience.

Renowned for his healthy habits and routines, which have afforded him a long and successful footballing career at the top of the game – he is now 39 – Ronaldo has provided guidance for the app known as Erakulis. Marketed as a lifestyle revolution, Erakulis takes a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.

Ronaldo said: “The countless hours of training, attention to nutrition, and mental preparation have played a crucial role in my journey and we've added these features into Erakulis.”

The app, which launched on 3 April, is thought to have broken the app store, which crashed a short time after the launch. Ronaldo has 627 million followers on Instagram and pre-launch marketing for Erakulis racked up over 10 million views within hours of going live.

CLP's first resort in China

Swiss medical wellness and longevity brand Clinique La Prairie has opened its highlyanticipated resort in Anji, China. The launch marks the brand's debut in China and its first international Health Resort outside of Switzerland.

“The plan is to reach about 40 Longevity Hubs and 10 Health Resorts, while always maintaining exclusivity and reinforcing that the flagship is the pinnacle of our portfolio,” said Simone Gibertoni, company CEO, in an interview with Spa Business (www.spabusiness.com/Gibertoni).

REFURBISHMENTS

Ritz-Carlton spa to relaunch in Georgia

Luxury lakeside retreat The RitzCarlton-Reynolds, Lake Oconee in Georgia, US, is gearing up to unveil its new-look destination spa this May following a comprehensive makeover.

Spanning 27,000sq ft, the renovated spa will feature redesigned spaces plus new fitness, beauty and wellness programming.

It will be home to 19 treatment rooms, a steamroom, saunas, an indoor pool, a gym and a new beauty salon offering ecofriendly nail services, hair styling, makeup services and more.

RESEARCH

Timing of exercise more important than workout type

Spas which offer a fitness element might benefit from thinking about the timings of sessions, according to new research from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands.

The study found that the most benefit from exercise came when workouts matched the body's circadian rhythm and that this was “more important” than the type or length of activity.

In terms of preventing CAD, stroke and ischaemic stroke, the researchers found that the optimum time of day to move was between 8am-11am. In contrast, exercising between 12 noon-6pm was not as beneficial.

The spa will reopen with new supplier partnerships with Zents, Espa, Eminence Organic Skin Care, Dr. Dennis Gross, Red Flower and London Town, as well as Living Earth Crafts and Geneo.

Crucially, the data showed the same results, irrespective of personal chronobiology – in layman’s terms, whether the participants were ‘night owls’ or ‘morning larks’.

“The study adds to previous evidence that timing of physical activity is an additional independent contributing factor to cardiovascular risk and therefore adds a novel dimension to cardiovascular risk prevention,” the researchers wrote in their final report.

Wellness goes wild

Ibiza's Atzaró Group shares plans for upcoming safari and wellness retreat in one of Botswana's most vibrant wildlife havens

■ The site will look out onto a watering hole visited by elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, cheetahs and bu alo

The wellness retreat will be surrounded by lush greenery and perched above a tranquil lagoon

Aboutique safari and wellness escape will open in Botswana’s wildlife-rich Okavango Delta this May, marking the latest venture from Ibiza's Atzaró Group.

The Atzaró Okavango Camp will be a 12-suite property, situated by the Moremi Game Reserve, and feature an intimate wellness retreat.

The 130sq m facility – with two treatment suites, a yoga shala, a 20m freshwater pool and a large outdoor lounge area – will be surrounded by lush greenery and perched above a tranquil lagoon.

Its strategic location will allow guests to gaze out onto the watering hole which is frequented by elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, cheetahs and bu alo.

Baobab-infused ritual

To add a deeper African connection, treatments and products will be supplied by Terres d'Afrique.

The South African-based company specialises in wellness experiences inspired by the continent’s rich botanical heritage and traditional spa therapies.

Terres d'Afrique is partnered with 33 spas in Africa, as well as properties in the Middle East, Asia and North America. These include spas operated by luxury operators including Six Senses,

The signature treatment is powered by the baobab tree – known as the symbol of life in the arid savannah

One&Only Resorts, Four Seasons, Oberoi, WestIn and Jumeirah.

In celebration of the new property, the brand has crafted a new signature treatment for Atzaró using products powered by the baobab tree – known as the symbol of life in the arid savannah – and found in abundance in the Okavango.

Claimed to be a powerful antioxidant, baobab is called a superfruit due to its high concentrations of vitamins, minerals and prebiotic fibres.

The treatment will be o ered as either a 60 or 90-minute ritual and start with a bespoke exfoliating mask using baobab powder, kigelia extract, crushed baobab seeds and baobab oil to gently exfoliate, reduce oxidative stress and help restore the skin barrier.

A soothing and hydrating pure aloe gel will then be applied before the journey concludes with a detoxifying pinda

head massage incorporating heated baobab seeds.

Other therapies will range from facials, massages, scrubs and body treatments to hair and scalp treatments, post-suncare services and hand and foot rituals.

A selection of signature rituals will also be available, including couple’s treatments and a distinctive Dream Sight Massage, designed to help improve sleep.

The camp’s wellness o ering will extend to fitness thanks to the inclusion of a gym equipped with no electronic machines so it remains in keeping with its wild setting.

Private game drives, community visits, guided safari hikes, stargazing helicopter safaris, candlelit dinners by the lagoon and active canoe expeditions will complete the location’s o ering. ●

Europe's premier Evian Spa has been unveiled in France, inspired by the beauty of the water cycle

Europe’s first Evian Spa has opened at the five-star Hôtel Royal in Evian-les-Bains, France – the birthplace of the mineral water brand Evian.

The spa has been realised following a comprehensive 12-month renovation of the hotel’s existing wellness facilities. The vision involved capturing the essence of revitalisation and celebrating the healing power of water.

Spanning 1,700sq m, the Evian Spa embraces the ethos of its namesake

brand, drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature's water cycle.

Evian Spa

Introduced in Japan in 2012, the licenced Evian Spa concept has been rolled out to five destinations, including Tokyo, Hanoi, Seoul, Doha and now Evian-Les-Bains.

The launch of Evian Spa marked the water brand's second foray into the industry, after opening its first day spa in Shanghai in a one-o venture in 2004.

Even prior to this launch, spas weren’t entirely new to Evian, as its parent company, Danone, had owned two hotels with spas (including Hôtel Royal and Hôtel Ermitage) located in its exclusive Evian Resort. In addition, the group owns the town’s original thermal baths, Les Thermes Evian.

Read more about the birth of the Evian Spa brand in Spa Business’ interview with Laurent Houel, former global brand development director at Danone (www. spabusiness.com/EvianSpa).

Facilities

At the core of the new French Evian Spa concept lies a deep connection to the journey of Evian water. With six individual treatment rooms and two further rooms for couples massages, every detail in the spa has been designed to echo the water cycle. The treatment rooms feature majestic natural vistas, both through their wide windows gazing out onto the hotel's grounds and floor-toceiling images of alpine landscapes.

The design and decor – as if shaped by water – are intended to reinforce a sense of letting go and alpine tranquillity

Wet and thermal facilities include an outdoor hydro-circuit, a snow room, a plunge pool, a sauna, a steamroom, an indoor pool and an aqua bar.

Patrick Saussay, consultant and development manager for the Evian Spa brand, spearheaded the overhaul.

He told Spa Business: “The spa’s architecture is inspired by the mountain’s curves. Meanwhile, the design and decor – as if shaped by water – are intended to reinforce a sense of letting go and evoke alpine tranquillity.” ●

MADE IN ITALY

Beltrami has over 50 years’ experience creating bespoke textile products for spas around the world, with a focus on quality

talian company Beltrami Linen is well-known for the quality of its products, but this isn’t the only characteristic that makes the brand stand out in the spa and wellbeing sector: what distinguishes the company is a strong focus on personalisation.

Beltrami has been manufacturing textiles for over 50 years and supplies spas all around the world directly from its factory in the north of Italy. “The quality of our linens is an essential element in making the guest experience a moment of pure pleasure” explains CEO, Cinzia Imberti Beltrami. “We supply spas with a complete range of products and create full treatment bed setups, adapting each element to every shape and style”. This concept is best demonstrated by the company’s signature collection which is made from Autentica Fibra di Legno Beltrami (FDL), a fabric which is exclusive to the company and made from wood fibre. FDL is thermoregulating, extremely soft, breathable and pleasant on the skin. It enhances

every spa treatment and wellness experience, adding an unforgettable touch of luxury.

NEW COLLECTION

A new collection of spa wear made from FDL has recently been added to the Beltrami range, including bathrobes and dressing gowns, shiatsu garments, body wraps and a complete range of accessories, such as turbans, hair bands and paraffin gloves.

“Our FDL fabrics include sateen, light honeycomb, Jersey and Terry in several weights and constructions,” says Beltrami. “The range has timeless styling while also being elegant and comfortable”. Some spas are also using the fabric for therapists’ garments. Through continuous R&D in design and functionality and its philosophy of respecting the identity of each customer, Beltrami focuses on personalisation: “Our projects are fully bespoke, which is key to creating products that are aesthetically pleasing and aligned with the philosophy and the image of the brand, while also paying attention to functionality,” says Beltrami.

CLOSE COLLABORATION

Close collaboration with clients and designers enables Beltrami to create products for the delivery of specific treatments.

“We manage the complete production process of all our textiles, from the early stages of design, through to weaving and customer service, which delivers the highest quality standards,” says Beltrami. “Our flexible service and specialised assistance start from the very first steps of the project, putting our know-how and expertise completely at our customers’ disposal.” l

Art of Cryo unveils 12-person cryochamber in Madeira

Cryotherapy supplier Art of Cryo has created a new 12-person walkthrough cryotherapy chamber at Cryo Center Coolzone Madeira, claimed to be the largest cold therapy treatment experience in the world.

Described as “the Bugatti of cold chambers”, Art of Cryo says the 48sq m Unical Vaultz V12 is not only the longest and widest cryotherapy chamber in the world, but it’s also the first-ever walk-through one.

Guests begin their journey in a room cooled to -10°C, progress into another at chilled to -60°C

and then reach the culmination of their experience – the largest cryo chamber room cooled to -110°C.

After their bracing cryo kick, guests retreat to a final area, chilled to -60°C.

Rainer Bolsinger, company CMO, said: “It’s a beautiful thing when technology and passion come together. Having 12 people in a -110°C cryotherapy chamber is pure luxury and everyone has the freedom to move and stretch.”

He says the experience is perfect for group sessions between family and friends,

sports teams and business teams and also offers a unique tourism destination in Madeira.

In addition to the large new chamber, Art of Cryo has kitted out Coolzone Madeira with its first Multi Cryo-Hacking System (MCS), designed as a 12-metrelong experience tunnel.

Facilities also include a luxury four-seater hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, a doctor’s consultation room and a juice bar.

Voya has adapted its global strategy to suit local consumer needs, says Chantal Sanders

Irish marine seaweed brand

Voya is celebrating a significant development in its global expansion, having entered the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market.

“We’re renowned internationally for our seamless supply chain, so it was vital to establish a subsidiary in the GCC to provide equivalent service and access to our partners in the region,” said Chantal Sanders, global head of sales at Voya.

“To ensure our success, we’ve adapted our global strategy to suit local consumer needs and devised a thorough planned go-to-market strategy, supported by wise investment.”

Building a presence

Voya has formed partnerships with a number of properties, including:

l Talise Spa, at the Madinat

Jumeirah Al Qasr – situated in the lush gardens of Jumeirah Al Qasr.

l Anantara Mina Al Arab at the Ras Al Khaimah Resort.

l Waldorf Astoria Dubai

International Financial Centre

l Waldorf Astoria Doha, West Bay.

l Five Palm Jumeirah Dubai

l Grand Plaza Mövenpick Media City

Additionally, the brand has worked in collaboration with Emirates Airlines for several years.

“Our strong and fruitful partnerships stem from our steadfast dedication to being a dependable ally,” added Sanders.

“We offer a high-quality, organic and sustainable service that matches the high standards of discerning customers, while adeptly managing complex supply chain challenges.”

Marking the occasion

To celebrate its entry into the region, Voya has developed a new treatment menu with a heightened sense of luxury, tailored for its GCC partners. Ranging from anti-pollutant facials, aromatic mud wraps and abdominal massages to specialised treatments which contour and tighten the hip and thigh area, Voya has unveiled a total of seven new decadent treatments.

The rituals augment its established menu of results-driven seaweedbased face and body treatments.

Pioneering in sustainability

As a leader in sustainable practices, Voya has set new benchmarks for luxury organic skincare globally

We offer a high-quality, organic and sustainable service

Chantal Sanders - global head of sales

since its launch in 2006 as the world’s first certified organic, seaweed-based skincare brand.

From ethically sourcing its ingredients to using eco packaging and manufacturing processes, the brand integrates sustainability into every step of its production. Additionally, rigorous independent scientific research ensures its products are both environmentally responsible and deliver top-tier results.

Harmony with nature

The GCC is known for luxury and innovative architecture and operators in the region are picking up on the sustainability trend –making it an ideal fit for Voya’s advanced green beauty philosophy. This trend is part of a wider movement towards living in harmony with nature, leading to a growing number of GCC consumers embracing natural skincare as an essential part of sustainable living.
