The trend in wellness is toward complete VIP areas, which are increasingly in demand by professional centers and their clients.
A distinction must be made between double cabins and VIP wellness areas. Double cabins consist of rooms with two treatment tables for body treatments. In contrast, the VIP area offered by Freixanet Wellness consists of small wellness areas of approximately 40–60 m2, equipped with various amenities, creating a complete spa for both a couple and a small group. These areas range from a two-person treatment tub to a sauna, mud bath, or steam bath, and even small dynamic pools, known as VITALITY POOLs, where clients can enjoy the benefits of wellness in complete privacy.
It's worth mentioning that the price of these spaces is usually higher than in a public spa; guests are willing to pay more to receive excellent service, both in terms of facilities and staff.
Regarding the theme, some clients request spas with an Arabic, Roman, or Oriental feel, but new trends focus on pure, simple, and elegant lines with top-quality materials.
Stainless steel is one of the most frequently used materials, especially in pools with recreational elements, as it is long-lasting, easy to maintain, and gives an image of solidity and quality. On the other hand, noble materials such as wood or marble, many of which are used in the equipment used in these spaces, are also used as decorative elements on the exteriors of the facilities to give unity to the whole.
Inside cabins such as saunas or steam baths, accessories and complements designed to enhance the user's relaxation, health, and well-being also become important aesthetic elements, while creating very special environments. These complements, such as chromotherapy or starry skies, are applied in saunas, steam baths, caldariums, hammams, and relaxation areas.
In these small, private wellness spaces, the senses play a fundamental role. Smell, touch, sight, taste, and hearing merge for a supreme sensorial experience. For this reason, it's extremely important to take care of every last detail, so that guests perceive exquisite service from entry to exit. Subtle, meticulous lighting, vaporous lavender aromas, soft music, warm colors that invite relaxation; and noble, pleasant-to-the-touch materials... All these details must be perfectly balanced, inviting guests to relax and enjoy their wellness moment.
Some hotels (as well as other types of professional centers) have already firmly opted for this type of service, advised by professionals from the Freixanet Wellness Professional division, and have not hesitated to incorporate a VIP area into their facilities to provide a truly unique service to their spas.
