The Kempinski Hotel Summerland Beirut in Lebanon is to launch in July 2015 with a circular 1,400sq m (15,069sq ft) spa managed by luxury European spa brand Resense, designed by Architectes Anyonymes.
The Beirut-based interior design company Architectes Anonymes has created a standalone day resort spa at the 22,000sq m (236,806sq ft) property, which also features 153 bedrooms and 73 serviced village-style apartments.
The spa, which is spread over two floors, will house one double suite and six single treatment rooms, plus two scrub rooms and separate gender-specific relaxation lounges.
In keeping with Resense’s brand philosophy, the spa will feature its signature ‘bathing kur’ experience – an 11-step bathing and cleansing ritual, akin to a modern version of Roman bathing traditions. This means wet facilities at the spa will include separate saunas, steamrooms and plunge pools for men and women.
Guests will be able to relax on a terrace in the shade of olive trees, some of which have been standing for 150 years, or in the outdoor vitality pool. The spa café will offer a range of refreshments and there will also be a fitness centre and studio on-site.
Other features of the property include a 5,000sq m (53,820sq ft) private beach, a private marina with 47 berths, as well as indoor and outdoor pools.
