Luxury Scottish resort Portavadie has opened its 1,991sq m (21,431sq ft) spa and leisure centre, part of a further £10m (€14 m, US$15.5m) development to the property.

The spa and leisure centre includes four treatment rooms and six swimming pools, including a children’s splash pool, a 16m (52ft) indoor pool, outdoor spa pools, and a 9x9m (30x30ft) heated outdoor infinity pool. It also includes two Scandinavian saunas, a steamroom, Precor-equipped gym, and a 10-bed relaxation area, with floor-to-ceiling views across Loch Fyne to the Isle of Arran.

Designed by Largs, Ayrshire-based Steward Associates, the spa uses glass, local stone, white oak and walnut to create a natural setting, and is open to both visitors and guests at the property.

“It’s fantastic to see our unique, world-class spa and leisure experience at Portavadie now open,” said Iain Jurgensen, general manager. “The team has created the most stunning light-filled relaxation and wellness space, offering the ultimate in luxury and reward for our guests.”

The spa uses Decleor and ishga products and features custom-made cabinets and manicure stations, as well as ergonomically designed relaxation beds by Lemi Group. Stephen McCafferty has been named spa & leisure manager.

Owned by the Bulloch family, Portavadie includes 33 properties in a wide range of accommodation, from five-star luxury apartments to self-catering, pet-friendly cottages; lodge bedrooms; studio apartments; and even an eco-retreat.

Other activities on-site include mountain biking, walking, sailing and rib rides.
