The first modular SpaShell, designed by spa consultancy Spa Creators, has launched at England’s Fishmore Hall in Shropshire.

The SpaShell can be built off-site, with no need for traditional foundation work, and be installed in just a few days.

It is offers boutique hotels two modular pod size options – one with four treatment rooms, and one with eight. Both come with thermal suites and Italian-designed sauna and steam rooms, as well as a commercially-graded outdoor vitality pool made with cedar wood and monsoon drench showers.

“For us, the development of a spa facility was the next obvious step in our development of Fishmore Hall,” said Laura Penman, owner of the hotel. “The beauty of SpaShell is that it provides us with all the elements required to create a successful spa: from design and site development stages, through to delivery and commissioning.”

The turnkey solution also includes a management support contract, including an IT system, trained and managed staff members and training and client management solutions.

Each spa pod is clad in Siberian larch wood, which was chosen for its low maintenance and ability to blend easily with its surroundings, and Elemis skincare is used in all treatments, along with Laval Shells, Mii Makeup and Jessica nail brands.

“We’re incredibly proud and excited to be launching the UK’s first SpaShell at Fishmore Hall,” said Alistair Johnson, founder and managing director of SpaShell. “This represents five years of design and planning to reach this stage.”
