Spa Creators is launching a new spa concept which offers a pre-designed and built self-contained spa called a Spashell.

A Spashell is a fully functioning, working spa complete with eight fully furnished treatment rooms, thermal experiences, deep relaxation area, juice bar and a spa lounge that leads to an outdoor balcony terrace overlooking the hot tub.

“Spashell is designed to be a plug in and play' solution and is an effective method of increasing REV PAR (revenue per room), increasing food and beverage sales, increasing room occupancy and broadening your market appeal,” said Alistair Johnson, managing director of Spa Creators.

The concept is designed to provide an additional revenue stream for boutique hotels or venue-based businesses that might not have the time, money or expertise to create a large-scale spa build.

Designed using eco-modular construction methods, and measuring 20m by 20m (65ft by 65ft), the Spashells have a central building and eight spa treatment pods.

The core building and each spa pod is clad in Siberian Larch Wood, which Spa Creators chose because it is for its low-maintenance and aesthetic qualities.

The building is a facetted circular construction with a cantilevered roof to the outdoor balcony, designed around a structure known as the ‘Oyster’ – the hub of the spa, which houses the reception, changing areas and thermal suite.

The spas can be quickly installed with minimal interruptions to the venue and costs, the company said; however, the operator is to provide services to the building and the staff.
