Global spa management company Resense is working on eight new spa developments across Asia, with projects scheduled in China, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea.
Resense has also established a subsidiary company, Resense China, with offices in Beijing, which will oversee all projects and developments within Asia. Emlyn Brown is director and Alice Zhang is operations coordinator.
“The team in Beijing will continue Resense’s dedication to creating and supporting spas tailored for the identified guests while also maximising our owners’ returns,” said Kasha Shillington, Resense CEO.
Following the opening of Kempinski The Spa Beijing Sunrise and Kempinski The Spa Yanqi Lake late last year, Resense recently opened a Kempinski The Spa in Harbin and, most recently, a Kempinski The Spa Fuzhou.
In addition, the Resense team is working on projects for Kempinski in Yangon, Busan, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur.
Kempinski The Spa Heritage Yangon will be located in the original colonial building of the State House building, formerly known as the Small Courses Court and Police Commissioner building. The spa will include a beauty lounge, advanced facial treatments and spa suite experiences, and will open in 2018.
In conjunction with Junglim Architecture in South Korea, Resense is working on a 3,800sq m (40,903sq ft) spa and wellness membership club at the Kempinski Hotel & Residence Busan, which is due to open in 2019.
The spa at Kempinski The Spa Phuket will offer wellness that appeals to the modern international traveller, the company said. Designed by architect Bill Bensley, the Kempinski Resort will feature spa experiences that are enhanced by connecting guests to nature and creating indoor and outdoor experiences that embrace natural materials, plants and water. It will open in 2019.
Due to open in 2020, the spa at Kempinski Kuala Lumpur is inspired by the “beauty and culture of Malaysia,” the company said, and will engage the mind and the five senses. The core concept will focus on wellness and balance, but the advanced treatment concept will combine all aspects of internal and external wellness with advanced techniques and technologies.
