A new spa facility being built at Wyboston Lakes, the independently-owned conference and leisure destination in Bedfordshire, UK, is to open during the third quarter of 2012.

Located within Wyboston Lakes Hotel, Y Spa will boast 11 therapy rooms - including three couples' rooms - steamrooms, water beds and relaxation areas with reading pods.

A signature feature of the new spa will be the external hydropool and kelo sauna in a south-facing spa garden, along with an open air fireplace and sun loungers.

R-Spa Limited, the consultancy set up by former Champneys Health Resorts managing director Ray Payne, is working on the design and feasibility of Y Spa, as well as overseeing its pre-opening.

Emma-Jane North has been appointed director of the new Y Spa at Wyboston Lakes, while it has been revealed that products supplied by Elemis and Murad will be used in its treatments.

North said: "We wanted to inspire our guests and deliver real results with our treatments - our choice of Elemis and Murad proved the perfect partnership."

Wyboston Lakes managing director Mark Jones added: "It's an exciting project that will complement not only our existing leisure businesses but also enhance our corporate offering."

As well as being available to guests of Wyboston Lakes Hotel, delegates attending events at the complex's two conference and training venues will also be able to make use of Y Spa.
