Jumeirah Group, the United Arab Emirates-based luxury hotel group, has further expanded its presence in the European market with properties in Rome, Italy, and Mallorca, Spain.

Earlier this year, the group took over the management of the 116-bedroom Jumeirah Grand Hotel Via Veneto in central Rome, which includes the 500sq m (5,382sq ft) Aqva City Spa.

Spa facilities at the Rome hotel include six mahogany treatment rooms featuring ergonomic heated beds and individual polychrome marble showers, along with a couples' room.

Aqva City Spa also includes a vitality pool with salt water hydro massages; a hammam; and a sauna, as well as a relaxation lounge. Treatments at the spa use Bulgari products.

Meanwhile, the new Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa on the north-east coast of Mallorca is due to open this year, although an exact date is yet to be confirmed by the group.

The property's facilities will include a Talise spa spanning more than 2,200sq m (23,681sq ft) and will house 10 treatment rooms - including a rasul and hammam suite.

A thermal area at the Talise spa will comprise a salt bath, a sauna and an Arabic hammam, in addition to an ice fountain, a steamroom and a meditation room with a fire feature.

An outdoor heated pool and a gym will also form part of the spa, which will offer treatments inspired by local products such as olive oil, almonds and citrus fruits.

Jumeirah Group has confirmed that both hotels can now be booked online, along with its third European addition - the Grosvenor House Apartments by Jumeirah Living in London.

The Park Lane property has 133 residences ranging from studios through to five-bedroom penthouses and offers Spa Illuminata at Home treatments, as well as gym access.
