This new 1,200 sq m setting is in addition to the two outdoor thermal pools and the two indoor pools.
From the architectural point of view, the predominant use of glass offers guests the feeling of being fully immersed in the landscape, while the natural materials used such as wood, expressed in design elements, are in continuous dialogue with the environment. Water acts as a leitmotif to an overall well-being approach. After all the world “neró” in ancient Greek means drinking water which nourishes and hydrates.
All the equipment emerges from a large contoured water basin, outlined around its perimeter by a highly suggestive LED immersion lighting system. A vertical wall of water located right at the spa entrance was created to feed the basin.
The Finnish Sauna is completely glazed and furnished with benches made of cedar wood which provide the room with a delicate fragrance. The Turkish Bath incorporates the finishes present in the Spa with floor, walls and ceiling covering and heated benches made in the innovative Ecomalta, specifically naturally treated. The Hammam, completely made in Guatemala Green marble, distinguishes itself for the large glass front wall.
The Salt Cabin, with its cylindrical shape, features floors, walls, ceiling and seats completely covered in salt, according to the Baltic method and is characterised by the backlit wall in pink salt tiles.
The impressive dual innovations are, the Temazcal, a dome shaped element embellished with cedar wood seats and the Kotatsu, that is composed of a circular bench and a central table from which it is possible to enjoy herbal teas and infusions while keeping the legs in the low central basin.
In the wellness center there are also five massage rooms, two face treatment stations, two hand stations and three Ayurveda cabins.
It has been a great opportunity to express new Wellness concepts. For more than 20 years I’ve been trying to move towards more spiritual ambiences, while linking this world to the concreteness of materials and the millenary tradition of the territory. We found an extraordinary understanding with the client and the result has been exceptional for coherence with the original idea, the harmonisation of the territory and, on a greater scale, of the location.
