Spa essentially means health through water. The art of cleansing through water is customary in many cultures from the Japanese to the Romans to the Turkish.
One of the most common types of baths is the Moroccan hammam steam room. This began our design process with the hammam room at the heart of the design and the use of the seaweed as an inspiration for our spaces. Acqua is located on the 8th floor of the building with views to the ocean from all rooms. We used a palette of white calacatta marble and distressed oak combined with gold accents.
We also created a seaweed sculpture with the help of a local artist that leads you from the reception through to the treatment areas. Our concept was to create an elegant, sophisticated space that was neutral in colour exuding a relaxed and cleansing atmosphere whilst showcasing the views of the beautiful aqua water of the Barbados ocean.
