Smaller version of The Serenity Spa to open

The group behind The Serenity Spa, Tom’s Companies, is to open a new urban day spa in Newcastle, UK, in September.

Called Serenity in the City, the 3,000sq ft (280sq m) spa will be located in Jesmond.

It will be a smaller version of the existing County Durham-based Serenity Spa, with seven consulting rooms, including two couple’s rooms and a male wet shave room.

Other facilities at the spa, which will have an Asian influence throughout, will include an outdoor hot tub, a tan area and a nail bar.

Serenity in the City’s designer, Jocelyn Maxfield, was also responsible for the design of the County Durham-based Serenity Spa.

She said: “Serenity in the City will be a haven of luxury and tranquillity in the city centre and an easy way to relax and feel good.”

Company chair, Tom Maxfield, added: “After conducting extensive research, we believe that Serenity in the City will satisfy a demand for men and women who want to relax and be indulged in style. All aspects of The Serenity Spa will be incorporated into a state of the art facility that is just what Newcastle needs.”

Tom’s Companies portfolio also includes The Samling boutique hotel, which overlooks Lake Windermere, Treacle Moon on Newcastle’s Quayside and the Fisherman’s Lodge in Jesmond Dene. Details: www.tomscompanies.com
