Canyon Ranch will build its first international resort, the Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort at Kaplankaya, which is set to open in July 2016 on the Turkish Riviera near Bodrum.
A 107,500sq ft (10,000sq m) Canyon Ranch Spa, Fitness and Wellness Center will include 40 treatment rooms. It will showcase treatments combining traditional and Eastern medicine practices, for the integrative wellness experience the brand is known for.
Designed by Barcelona-based architectural firm OAB (Office of Architecture in Barcelona) and principal architect Carlos Ferrater, the Canyon Ranch development will include a “strikingly modern” resort that combines “a rarefied mix of natural beauty and contemporary design,” the company said. Geometric shapes and sustainable materials will be used to create environmentally conscious buildings that integrate with the landscape.
The region is surrounded by significant ruins and architectural sites, and has been a centre of healing since ancient times. The design will honour and embrace the area’s natural beauty, the company said, and guest quarters will be respectfully integrated into the topography.
The hotel will include 141 guest rooms, as well as two restaurants that will offer an array of healthy gourmet Mediterranean dishes with local ingredients.
“Canyon Ranch is launching onto the global stage with Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort at Kaplankaya in Turkey,” said Susan Docherty, chief executive officer, Canyon Ranch.
“With its breathtakingly beautiful natural landscape and ancient, healing lands, it is the idyllic location for our first international immersion destination and will redefine the concept of a luxury wellness experience.”
Canyon Ranch also has wellness destination resorts in Tucson, Arizona and Lenox, Massachusetts, and operates a SpaClub day spa at The Venetian and The Palazzo hotels in Las Vegas, as well as SpaClub at Sea facilities on board several cruise ships.
