Sohum Spa has launched its latest site at a Mövenpick hotel in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.
The 4,000sq ft (370sq m) spa houses eight treatment rooms and has a prime emphasis in Ayurveda. Facilities include separate his and hers wet-room sections offering steamrooms, sauna and cold and warm rain showers, as well as private relaxation zones.
Sohum is the spa brand owned and operated by Indian medical and wellness group Core Wellness. There are currently 25 Sohum Spas - a mixture of hotel and day spas - across India, making it one of the country's largest spa chains.
Treatments on offer at Sohum are designed based on advice from Core Wellness' panel of doctors and allied experts.
According to Core Wellness chair Sanjeev Mansontra, new treatments and programmes that have medical evidence backing their effectiveness are regularly and pro-actively added to Sohum's offering.
Mansontra added that sustainability and eco-friendliness is also at the heart of the Sohum Spa philosophy.
"All the products we use are carefully evaluated for their impact on the environment and hence the therapies lean towards holistic healing modalities that use natural products and ancient healing arts rather than the extensive use of machines," he said.
The Sohum Spa at Mövenpick Bangalore has a unique feature - a ceiling mural of the 'Tree of Life', signifying the union of the four entities of spirit, soul, personality and body, created by Kalamkari artists of Machilipatnam town in Andhra Pradesh. Kalamkari is a popular and ancient art form in which natural dyes are used and mainly mythological characters are represented.
Switzerland-based hospitality group Mövenpick opened the 182-room Bangalore property in September 2011. Other leisure facilities include an infinity edge swimming pool on the second floor and a fitness centre with dedicated rooms for Yoga and meditation on the 12th floor.
The Bangalore hotel is Mövenpick's first in India. For more details on Sohum Spas, click here. For more details on Core Wellness, click here.
