Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi to float spa-goers’ boats
POSTED 16 Dec 2016 . BY Luke Cloherty
The spa’s standout offering will undoubtedly be its five floating cocoon-shaped spa pavilions, shaped to resemble Malay Bubus
The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi in Malaysia, due to open in July 2017, has released details of its spa to Spa Opportunities.

On top of a range of conventional treatments and features, the spa’s standout offering will undoubtedly be its five floating cocoon-shaped spa pavilions, shaped to resemble Malay Bubus, which are intricately woven fish traps that have been used for centuries by local fishermen. The pavilions will float above the Andaman Sea and will be connected by overwater walkways.

The Spa at the Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi will encompass 917sq m and include a fitness centre of 202sq m – located at the very edge of jungle with floor-to-ceiling windows, boasting state-of-the art Technogym equipment for both cardio and weight training – an arrival Lodge stretching to 99sq m and a manicure and pedicure lounge of 44sq m.

The spa will also house an open relaxation area with two vitality pools (female and male), a sauna and steam bath of 230sq m, a split spa suite of 97sq m, a couples’ spa suite of 71sq m, a couples’ treatment room of 51sq m, two single treatment rooms of 61sq m and a hammam pavilion stretching to 62sq m.

As well as offering traditional treatments, including massages, pedicures and manicures, The Spa at Ritz-Cartlon, Langkawi will provide unique signature treatments (details of which will be released in 2017). Its product line will be provided by UK company ESPA.
