A 5.5m euro (US$7.96m, £4.8m) vinotherapy spa has opened as part of the Gleboczek Vine Resort near Brodnica in the lake district area of Poland.

The spa has been built in a manor house style with a straw roof and is indicative of local architecture. Facilities include a pool, gym, vitality baths and 10 treatment rooms, including one double spa suite with a hammam, where treatments, using local peat, herbs and mud, will be administered.

The core products for treatments will be from the South African TheraVine brand from the Stellenbosch region, which uses extracts from the pinotage grape.

In addition, French brand Académie Scientifique de Beauté will be used for selected treatments and rituals as well as AlphaSphere relaxation treatments, which combine sounds, colours and vibrations to promote deep relaxation. Local company MPM Produkt was the investor in the property, while Polish spa consultancy ForSpa helped to develop the project and train therapists.
