The 35-acre estate is part of the Wildhive Collection, a hospitality brand rooted in nature and owned by Ed Burrows (pictured left) and Charles Randall (right). Wildhive Callow Hall’s coach house, garden, courtyard and potting shed have been transformed with new facilities in alignment with the Wildhive brand’s ‘wellbeing in nature’ philosophy. Wellness consultant Erin Lee worked on The Coach House project. Charles Randall, co-founder of the Wildhive Collection, told Spa Business: “The inspiration for The Coach House came straight from the landscape around us. The Peak District is a place of contrasts, of high open moorland and sheltered dales, and that’s the rhythm we’ve built the experience around – moving between the heat of the sauna, the shock of the cold plunge and the quiet of the Potting Shed.”

MY TAKE

KALA DESIGN GROUP

Are we creating environments that help people reconnect with themselves or ones that require constant mediation? Ana Ramirez, Kala Design Group

The missing pillar Ana Ramirez explains the importance of interoception in designing spaces

ome spaces invite you to exhale the moment you enter. Others – even those that are beautifully designed – leave the body subtly on edge.

Before we think, the body already knows. This capacity is called interoception: our ability to sense what is happening inside us, such as shifts in breath, tension, fatigue, or ease. It is foundational to how we regulate, restore and ultimately feel well. Yet, despite an industry rich in conversations around sleep, recovery, mindfulness, and longevity, interoception remains largely overlooked. We often design for what can be seen and measured, but not always for what can be felt.

El Nido quite literally means ‘the nest’, a place of refuge and renewal

Heritage Healing Ayala Land's renovated Filipino island resort reveals its Lagen Wellness Sanctuary, complete with traditional spa therapies

agen, El Nido – an island resort in Palawan, the Philippines – has completed its transformation with the addition of a spa called Lagen Wellness Sanctuary. The eco-luxury property, which is one of three island destinations managed by El Nido Resorts, completed a year-long renovation in May. El Nido Resorts is owned by Ayala Land Hospitality. The renovation design was led by WATG, Wimberly Interiors Studio, Henning Larsen and Ayala Land Hospitality’s Creative Team, with the new layout cutting the accommodation from 51 to 42 keys, which are comprised of villas, overwater accommodation and rooms surrounded by forest. The resort also now incorporates the work of local artisans and indigenous communities.

The Venice Head Spa delivers a deeply immersive treatment

Optimum experience Lemi is redefining multifunctional wellness design

s the global spa market evolves, the integration of advanced technology with immersive wellness rituals is becoming increasingly important. Responding to this shift, Lemi has introduced Venice Head Spa – a multifunctional treatment bed designed to enhance both operational efficiency and the guest experience. “With Venice Head Spa, we wanted to go beyond functionality and create a solution that enhances both the guest experience and operational efficiency,” says Matteo Brusaferri, general manager at Lemi. “It reflects our vision of a more integrated, experience-led approach to spa design.” More than a treatment couch, Venice Head Spa is a complete workstation combining three core functions in one solution: massage, manicure/pedicure and Japanese Head Spa treatments. This multifunctional approach enables operators to maximise space utilisation while maintaining high treatment standards and delivering a seamless, holistic guest journey. At the centre of the concept is the retractable wash basin, inspired by the Japanese head spa ritual. Designed to create a continuous, flowing arc

distributes body weight and reduces pressure points, supporting longer, more comfortable treatments. An adjustable, removable horseshoe headrest provides targeted neck and head support, adapting easily to different treatment types.

All movements – height, backrest and leg rest – are electric, allowing therapists to work with precision while reducing physical strain. Additional smart features include programmable memory settings for key positions, such as hair-wash mode, and an automatic ‘end’ function that returns the bed to its starting position, improving workflow efficiency. Alongside functionality, Venice Head Spa has been designed to integrate seamlessly into high-end spa environments. Its compact footprint, clean lines and extensive customisation options allow it to complement a wide range of interior concepts. The use of eco-conscious materials, including FSC-certified wood, reflects a growing industry focus on sustainability without compromising on design quality. Building on this concept, LEMI has also launched Sorrento Head Spa, a more streamlined version introduced in March.

With Venice and Sorrento Head Spa, Lemi continues to respond to the evolving needs of the wellness sector, creating equipment that supports both operational performance and experiential value. The result is a new generation of treatment solutions designed to help spas differentiate their offer, while optimising space, workflow and guest satisfaction. l More: www.lemispa.com SPABUSINESS.COM issue 2 2026 21 93 www.spabusiness.com
