St Michael's Hotel to double size of spa
POSTED 10 Sep 2012 . BY Kath Hudson
St Michael’s Hotel and Spa in Falmouth, UK, has decided to double the size of its spa, adding a full wet spa and thermal area.

The expansion comes as the hotel aims to cater for increased demand for spa services.

Wellness consultancy Spa Creators is advising on the project and its director, Alistair Johnson says the hotel is bidding to become Cornwall’s top destination spa.

“Some luxury apartments are being added to cater for the destination spa market," he said

"The target audience will be wellness breaks for the 30+ market.”

Manicures and pedicures are popular, so an area is being created exclusively for them.

There will be 10 treatment rooms in total, and as well as experiences like Vichy and Rasul, there will be an emphasis on finding unusual and exciting treatments.

Johnson says the hotel will retain its current product ranges, Espa and Speizia, and will be looking to recruit more therapists. The refurbishment will be ready for the 2013 season.
