Gulf Hotels Group (GHG) has signed an agreement with construction firm Almoayyed Contracting to build a new US$8m (£4.8m, €5.8m) spa complex at The Gulf Hotel in Bahrain.

The two-storey 3,100sq m (33,368sq ft) spa will have separate floors for men and women and will feature spa pools, hammam, sauna, steamroom, experience showers and relaxation facilities as well as treatment rooms on both floors.

In addition, the women’s floor will include a gym, beauty salon and spa boutique.

The spa will also include a rooftop terrace with relaxation areas and a refreshment service.

Palmer-Grego Associates will design the spa interior with Bahrain-based MSCEB handling the architectural features.

Current wellbeing facilities at the five-star hotel include separate men’s and women’s gyms and spa facilities with saunas, steamrooms, spa pools and outdoor swimming-pools.
