“The last three decades have witnessed technological advances in virtually every industry, as new and longer-lasting materials, improved engineering, more sophisticated technology and increasingly stringent safety criteria have raised standards virtually everywhere,” says Myrtha Wellness CEO, Roberto Colletto.
“However, parts of the wellness industry have lagged behind – the production of steamrooms, Roman baths, swimming pools and hammams, for example, have remained largely unchanged,” he explains.
“A 30-year-old approach to production sees some suppliers using a range of legacy materials which can leak bacteria, mould and odours in humid wellness environments, causing hygiene issues, while also having poor structural and fire ratings.
“As a result of these kinds of practices, the wellness industry was begging for an injection of smartness and we’ve answered this call,” says Colletto. “Myrtha Wellness is brought to you by Myrtha smartness.”
ENGINEERING RELAXATION With 60 years experience in designing and building pools for clients ranging from La Reserva Club Sotogrande in Spain, to SLS Brickell Hotel and Residences, Miami, US, Myrtha Wellness is committed to delivering to the highest standards in terms of design, construction and after-sales service.
The innovations Myrtha has brought to its selection of wellness products are based on ideas engineered and developed over the company’s decades as a world leader in pool design and technology.
Myrtha’s revolutionary use of stainless-steel panels in the design of everything from competition pools, to waterparks, gives the company a solid foundation on which to build when creating its wellness portfolio – the company’s products deliver superior waterproofing advantages and even have earthquake-proof certification.
“Featuring ‘Made in Italy’ design, our technology has inspired a breathtaking line of saunas, steam baths, Kneipp pools, salt walls, ice fountains, experience showers and more,” says Colletto. “Relaxation has never been so well engineered.”
Myrtha’s design team uses a 3D system that’s compliant with BIM standards and streamlines the approval process, allowing the company to identify possible issues before manufacturing even begins. The result is Myrtha’s ‘prefab process’ that comes together with plug-and-play ease.
Each wellness area or treatment room is prefabricated and assembled in-house, meaning they are literally as strong as steel, while panels and components can be easily inspected, removed and replaced, minimising disruption during maintenance.
Design and customisation are important considerations in the development of welcoming, rejuvenating wellness environments and mosaics, marble and other fine finishes are then used to add to the Myrtha Wellness experience.
“The benefits of our technology extend to areas critical to a well-conceived wellness facility,” Colletto explains. “Our products deliver insulation material of Class B fire resistance, while stainless-steel components result in a 90 per cent reduction in bacterial growth and odours."
Myrtha Wellness products are engineered, designed and manufactured using environmentally sustainable processes, with the company’s products contributing in up to six of the nine LEED certification categories.
EXCELLENCE IN INSTALLATION For The Estates at Acqualina in the US, Myrtha is providing 55 spa pools, 12 suspended pools and a complete wellness centre. The project is a synthesis of Myrtha’s values, the beauty of ‘Made in Italy’, the comfort of the company’s solutions and the sustainability guaranteed by its technology.
“The design flexibility of our modular system, the structural integrity of our steel components and the ability to customise with beautiful finishes, make it possible for us to create sensational wellness spaces to the highest standards for hotels, spas and wellness customers,” says Colletto.
