Image: Grupo Mariana has created its own spa brand

Seaside Mariana, the mega-resort development under construction in Nicaragua, is due to complete its first phase during the second quarter of 2013.

The 923-acre (374-hectare) complex is divided into six neighbourhoods. It will be anchored by the Wyndham Nicaragua Resort and Casino and a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course – both of which overlook the Pacific Ocean.

Grupo Mariana, the developer behind the scheme, has created its own signature Plumeria Spa concept for Seaside Mariana, which is inspired by Nicaraguan cultures and rituals.

Two Plumeria-branded spas are being built as part of the scheme – the first of which will open at the Laya Hotel in mid-2013 and will span 1,200sq ft (111sq m). It will house four treatment rooms.

The second spa – a 5,000sq ft (465sq m) facility – will form part of the Wyndham resort and is to open in 2014 with eight treatment rooms. All hotel, resort and spa operations will be overseen by KemperSports Management.
