Tunisia is to become home to its first ever ESPA spa when the Spa & Thalasso at The Residence Tunis hotel welcomes the product house next month.
The spa features 30 treatment rooms across a 4,000sq m (43,000sq ft) space with the principles of ancient Roman thermal baths in mind.
The offering also features an oriental hammam, sauna and steamroom, two relaxation terraces, as well as a cupola covering the spa’s own seawater swimming pool.
The facility will offer a comprehensive range of treatments developed with ESPA, with some exclusive options making the most of ingredients indigenous to North Africa and its surrounding nations.
Given its coastal location, the spa is able to offer a range of leading Thalassotherapy treatments to guests, making use of the abundance of seawater nearby.
As well as offering relaxing experiences, the spa will also feature a fitness room, alongside yoga, pilates and aqua aerobics classes organised on a daily basis.
“We are delighted to be working with ESPA when designing a new menu for our award-winning spa. ESPA has a long history as a market leader, much as our hotel has been recognised for serving guests at the top of the luxury sector in this region since we opened in 1996,” said David Sierra, general manager of The Residence Tunis.
“This long-standing focus on expertise, service and heritage ensures a natural partnership between the two brands.
“We look forward to bringing our guests authentic, indigenous treatments that they will not find elsewhere, from March 2014.”
The Residence Tunis hotel originally opened in 1996, with the 155-room hotel housed within historic Arab-Andalusian architecture.
