The opulent swimming pool in Golden Mile's wet zone |

The mammoth 4,500sq m (48,438sq ft) Golden Mile wellness centre has recently opened in Moscow’s Park Palace luxury estate, with a “Made in Italy” theme running through the design, build and interior.
Spread over two floors, the centre is largely divided between a wet zone and a dry one with various treatments allotted to each zone.
The dry zone comprises a 900sq m (9,688sq ft) fitness area, featuring a large gym and separate rooms for yoga and pilates classes, as well as the beauty area. This 600sq m (6,458sq ft) space houses 15 treatment rooms and two gender-designated spas, each containing a Turkish bath, sauna massage bed and a whirlpool.
Elsewhere, the wet zone includes a large swimming pool for relaxation or fitness sessions, a bar, two whirlpools, a sauna, a Turkish bath, a Kneipp path and a mood-lit shower with aromatherapy offerings.
There is also a snow cabin, complete with a waiting room where guests can acclimatise at a temperature of 8°C (46.4F) before entering the 0°C (32F) zone, which is regularly cooled down by snow jets.
Italian company Wellness Today – Happy Sauna Group oversaw the project from start to finish, enlisting compatriot architects Studio D73 for the design.
The architecture firm took a forensic approach to curate the light and acoustics of the centre, installing false-ceilings to absorb noise and promote relaxation after conducting a sound study and covering these ceilings in specchiopiuma – a high quality stretch mirror that creates the impression of added dimensions.
