Health club operator Holmes Place has opened its first European 'Holmes Place Spa'.

The 600sq m day spa, located in the existing Holmes Place Health Club Zurich/Jelmoli, in Zurich, Switzerland, cost €2m (£1.7m) to create and was designed by Schletterer Wellness & Spa Design.

The new facility, which offers day passes for 60 Swiss francs, is also open to existing members for an upgrade of 80 francs a month.

In line with the operator's philosophy - summed up in its tagline 'one life, live it well' - the spa offers a wide range of services focused on individual wellbeing, bringing holistic health and fitness together under one roof.

Working with luxury skincare and spa brand Elemis, the spa offers 60 face and body therapies. Facilities include two treatment rooms and a VIP spa suite, a sauna, steam bath, herbal bath, ice fountain, spa pool, experience showers, silent relaxation room with water beds, and a lounge with vitamin and juice bars.

"With the stress of everyday life, we want to inspire people to find a balance," says spa manager Charlotte Taylor.

The concept will now be rolled out, with the next location set to be a spa club at Potzdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany.

Holmes Place Iberia, in Spain and Portugal, already has an extensive spa offering under its Zensations brand.
