Image: the resort spa will have 40 treatment rooms
IMC Octave - the real estate and hospitality arm of Singapore-based diversified company IMC Group - has started work on a 28,000sq m (301,389sq ft) wellness retreat resort at Yangcheng Lake just outside of Shanghai, China.
Due to open in early 2015, the 90-bedroom property is being designed by US-based Tsao and McKown Architects and will include a 6,000sq m (64,583sq ft) spa and an integrated medicine and executive health centre.
The spa will contain 40 treatment rooms and two aquatonic pools - one indoor and one outdoor - which offer experiences such hydromassage stations using therapeutic jet streams, micro-bubbles and geysers to relieve stress and promote healing.
A thermal area will house separate male and female sections, as well as a co-ed area including the indoor aquatonic pool and up to five other thermal experiences.
Elsewhere, a mind-body centre will offer activities such as yoga and pilates; meditation spaces; and a fitness suite, along with an outdoor yoga area and meditation garden.
GOCO Hospitality is working on the design of the spa at the wellness retreat hotel.
The group is currently in discussions with a view to securing an operator for the hotel, while work is being undertaken on the development of the project branding and name. For more details click here.
