Construction work is underway on the ZAR1.5bn (US$179m, EUR143m, £114m) Sandton Sky lifestyle development in the financial hub of Johannesburg, South Africa.

The luxury residential and hotel scheme has been designed by local architect AMA and includes a ZAR8m (US$954,000, EUR763,000, £610,000) wellness spa featuring modern African and eastern design styles.

Spanning 450sq m (4,844sq ft), the spa will accommodate 12 treatment rooms, a fitness centre and indoor and outdoor pools. Treatments will focus on hydrotherapy, fish therapy and those by African product house, TheraVine.

South Africa-based Simply Spas - the firm behind the Lanzarec and Oceana spas - will consult on Sandton Skye's spa element and will manage it once complete.

The complex, with three 15-storey residential towers, is due to open in 2014.

For more about Simply Spas' involvement with the spa at the Lanzerac Hotel and Spa in Stellenbosch, see Spa Business 2009 Issue 4, p32
