Albamhor Spa opens at The Fife Arms in the Scottish Highlands

The Albamhor Spa at The Fife Arms in Braemar, Scotland, has opened.

The spa forms the final part of a three-year multi-million-pound refurbishment project which included a total renovation of the 46-room hotel.

The spa, which is home to three treatment rooms, as well as a sauna and a treatment menu inspired by local flora, was designed by Russell Sage Studio. The London-based interior design firm created the spa's interiors to capture the overall style and feel of the hotel, a 100-year old Victorian coach house that in turn was inspired by the surrounding rural landscape.

Spa consultancy Spa Vision were responsible for the provision, design and installation of the spa's sauna experience, and were also tasked with supplying the spa's treatment tables and other equipment.

Colin Cameron, director of Spa Vision, said: "The Fife Arms holds considerable history and is a defining place in the local area. For this reason, the attention to detail and precision has been unwavering. The Albamhor Spa is a stunning addition to the hotel facilities and we are delighted to have played our part in bringing the designer's vision to life."

Based in the Scottish Highlands, The Fife Arms reopened as a hotel in December 2019, following an intensive restoration by owners Iwan and Manuela Wirth. The redesign was inspired by the hotel's rich history and the drama of the surrounding landscape.
