Spa consultancy and contract management firm Resense Spa SA is to launch a new branded portfolio of full-service spas, with the opening of its first Resense Spa at The Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra, Ghana, this August.

The 269-bed resort will be located near the Accra International Conference Centre, State House and National Theatre – attracting both business and leisure travellers, while the spa itself will be open to hotel guests, the day spa market and members.

The Resense Spa and 670sq m (7,211sq ft) health club will span 3,000sq m (32,291sq ft) over three floors, with a 25m (82ft) outdoor pool, yoga studios and four tennis courts.

On entering the Resense Spa, guests will be greeted by a health concierge in the Open Lounge, and provided with a designer robe, before being escorted to The Private Lounge to relax and socialise.

A key experience will be The Resense Bathing Kur – an 11-step spa journey to fully cleanse and revitalise the body, before culminating in a soap massage and relaxation time in the Slumber Suite.

Guests can also enjoy Inviion-supplied wet areas equipped with a hammam, and six single treatment suites, two double treatments suites, two scrub rooms and two Resense Slumber Suites, in addition to Resense’s Open and Private Lounges, a dining lounge, and a beauty salon offering hairdressing services.

The treatment menu will utilise the luxury Thémaé, Paris product line based on the natural healing benefits of tea.Architects Looney & Associates based its design on a reinterpretation of classical baroque and modern European styles to create a colourful area, finished in rich natural tones, stone, wood and gold mosaics.

Resense Spas will open in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the Cairo Royal Luxum hotel in Egypt later in 2013, and in Beirut in 2014.Resense Spa SA was founded in 2009 as a joint venture between international hotel management group Kempinski Hotels SA and spa consultancy Raison d’Etre.

The company’s portfolio of 39 spas encompasses two separate brands – 15 existing Kempinski The Spa facilities located in 14 countries and the four new Resense Spas.

The Resense Spa will be in selected hotels or as standalone spas, while Kempinski The Spa is a flexible concept located exclusively within Kempinski hotels.

  2. Cape Coast old post office. It is sad to see the images online of this building unfinished and abandoned. The site is excellent with its views of the Atlantic. When and why did construction stop? A sign in one of the imagesreads "Site of proposed Slavery Museum" Are there any future plans for the site?
