Splash & Spa Tamaro, a water park and wellness centre, is scheduled to open in June 2013 at the foot of Mount Tamaro in Ticino, Switzerland.

Spanning 10,000sq m (107,000 sq ft), the site will combine recreational fun with a wave pool, outdoor heated pool and water slides alongside a 3,000sq m (32,292sq ft) spa designed by Schletterer Wellness which will focus on a wide range of hydrothermal experiences.

The spa will be split into three different areas dedicated to the themes of "hot," "warm" and "relax" and all spa equipment is to be

supplied by Inviion.

The hot area is found in the sauna world, which is set to feature a variety of indoor and outdoor saunas including those focused on local traditions, such as one built out of chestnut wood and some with global accents such as the Himalayan salt sauna and the clay sauna.

The area will also house an ice fountain, a foot reflexology area and a Kneipp area.

The warm section will be in the hammam ritual area, which will offer a selection of steamrooms - including those suitable for a traditional hammam ceremony - as well as an outdoor iodine/saltwater pool.

The hammam ceremony will take guests through steam and heat treatments, body scrub massages, detoxifications and cooling pools with the aim of bringing the body and soul into balance.

Meanwhile, the beauty area will follow the theme of relaxation and will boast six treatment rooms including a consulting lounge.

It will also house a large, domed relaxation lounge providing panoramic views of the nearby mountain range. The spa will have a special light, sound and aromatherapy concept.
