Palmyra resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, has added a 30,000sq ft (2,787sq m) luxury ESPA spa to its facilities.

Housed in a separate building, the spa has been created in consultation with ESPA and features 14 treatment rooms, including three private couples suites.

Other amenities include nine multi-functional spaces; aromatic Caldarium and Laconium steamrooms; experiential rain showers; a tea lounge; vitality pools with ocean views and a relaxation terrace.

Laura Boss, ESPA project manager, said: "Our concept for The Palmyra ESPA is to merge the spa's natural setting and beautiful architecture with our natural healing and relaxation practices, providing our guests with an unforgettable experience as they move from being into wellbeing."

The Palmyra is operated by Solís Resorts & Hotels, which was founded by the former president of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Horst Schulze.

The Palmyra is located on 16 oceanfront acres, on the grounds of a former plantation. It will include 299 bedrooms as well as suites.
