Fonseca named spa manager at Spain’s Abadia Retuerta LeDomaine
Spain’s Abadia Retuerta LeDomaine has named Catia Fonseca spa manager of its Santuario LeDomaine Wellness & Spa, which opened in July 2015. The hotel is located in a 12th century abbey and winery surrounded by vineyards in Spain’s Duero wine-growing region.
A native of Portugal, Fonseca has previously held management positions at Six Senses Spa at Sharq Village in Qatar and Six Senses Douro Valley in Portugal, as well as executive positions at Aquapura Hotel Resort and Spa in Lamego, Portugal and Porto Palacio Congress Hotel & Spa in Oporto, Portugal.
Fonseca is responsible for the 10,000sq ft (929sq m) holistic healing and wellness centre, which includes a ‘fusion wine’ vinotherapy spa concept based on a blind tasting, as well as ‘spa sommeliers’ who guide guests on their wellness journey.
The spa includes four treatment rooms, a spa suite, outdoor rain showers, indoor heated pool, outdoor pool with a snack menu, and separate men’s and women’s wellness areas with sauna, steambaths, experience showers, hydrotherapy pools, relaxation room and changing area. Wellbeing offerings include Pilates, personal training sessions, yoga, meditation and Qi Gong.
“We have juxtaposed an historic, 12th-century abbey hotel and winery with a 21st century wellness centre to create an unprecedented guest experience in Spain, and Catia now adds a wealth of international experience from leading spas,” said Andres Araya, the hotel’s managing director.
