New Cairo Resense Spa features private health concierge
Spa management company Resense is opening a Resense Spa at The Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski in Cairo this month.
The 2,000sq m (21,528sq ft) Resense Spa aims to emulate the renaissance of the classical European spa with a fusion of modern and traditional design, art, music, therapies and bathing. A private health concierge caters to guests’ needs, creating bespoke treatments, and the treatment menu will combine ancient and local healing traditions.
“Our new Resense Spa is designed to be more than just a spa, offering instead an overall wellbeing experience,” said Birgit Marie Solheim, Resense spa director. “From state-of-the-art fitness and healthy juices to our holistic and healing approach, each tailor-made wellness journey is unique and personal to our guests.”
The spa features eight treatment rooms, including one couples’ room, as well as indoor and outdoor pools, two private lounges and separate male and female thermal areas, featuring spa pools, saunas, ice fountains, experience showers and a female-only hammam.
Resense said it wants to focus more on experiences than treatments, and the spa menu is designed to reflect that. The spa’s signature treatment, The Journey, begins with a four-tea polish that includes Rooibos tea, as well as hydroxy acid and zinc treatments to improve skin condition, and ends with a traditional Arabian massage, inspired by the rituals used by the Bedouin travellers.
A fitness centre houses a state-of-the-art Technogym, including Zone Dome running machines, which allow guests to ‘virtually run’ in a number of destinations.
The spa also features a four-tiered membership programme that will provide regular visitors with a myriad of benefits and privileges, including complimentary treatments, priority booking and discounts across the wellness services.
Resense now operates 27 spas in 19 different countries.
