The new Spa development, Y Spa, at Wyboston Lakes, opened its beautiful new doors on 3rd November 2012. Wyboston Lakes is the UK’s largest privately owned single site specialist conference, management training, hotel and leisure destination; located on a private 350 acre rural estate located between Cambridge and Milton Keynes.The project investment totalled just over £3 million; the Spa covers 8,000sq ft of internal space and a Spa Garden on the Wyboston Lakes Hotel site and took just over 7 months to build and complete.
Y Spa’s total philosophy is about health, wellness and rejuvenation with many of those things relying on pleasure. So, for example, the Y Spa Café serves sparkling wines, draught lager, cupcakes and brownies as well as seriously tasty low fat options, something to ignite the taste buds and allow you and your friends to feel totally indulged!
As part of Wyboston Lakes’ drive to expand their leisure facilities, Syntax, leading international design architects were brought in to create a dramatic new spa. Syntax has created world class spas around the globe such as Chiva-Som, Champneys, One Spa, Elemis and Molton Brown.
Syntax Project Designer, Russell King, gives us an insight into the design, “What is different about Y Spa, which guests will hopefully appreciate, is the acute attention to detail throughout the space. Small but thoughtful touches like personalised slipper units, luxurious comb-out units, and costume kit bags help to make guests feel special. The quality of the thermal area is unrivalled anywhere in the UK and is a real tribute to Wyboston Lakes’ ambition with this project which we were privileged to help them create”.
