This month Spa PR hosted another press and influencer launch, in a long line of successful virtual events the team have adapted to throughout the Covid 19 pandemic.
Aim
This exciting launch was to reveal and showcase the exciting new Wave Garden Spa to attract press and influencer coverage. This £1.25m 650 square metre luxury destination spa is located within the grounds of the Adventure Parc Snowdonia in the Conwy Valley – an award-winning adventure resort that is home to the world’s first inland surf lagoon.
Strategy
With North Wales set to get a wellbeing boost, the event aimed to transport guests to the stunning Snowdonian mountain through a series of immersive experiences.
Ahead of the event, guests were sent a goody bag with some carefully selected products from the spa’s product houses so they could enjoy the interactive part of the event, as well as some Wave Garden Spa, flip flops.
Guests
A total of 29 people attended the event with guests including key influencers and travel bloggers, spa trade press, regional news outlets from the Cheshire and North Wales area, and beauty editors and travel writers from national publications such as You Magazine, Get the Gloss, Glamour and the Sun.
Event Details
Brother and sister team, Danni and Andy Ainscough who head up Adventure Parc Snowdonia led the event. They answered questions from the press and told guests about the process of the development, some of the unique selling points of the spa as well as also letting guests know about what they could expect from a visit to the destination.
The Wave Garden Spa is all about pure water, fresh air and freedom. Guests will be able to relax and unwind as they enjoy the sound of waves and views of the mountains and forests, bathe in pools fed with chemical-free water and enjoy unique cleansing and purifying treatments, contemporary design and a stunning heated sensory spa garden. Inside the spa, a fragrant thermal journey welcomes visitors with its vitality waterfall pool, steam room and iconic oversized Himalayan salt sauna, all of which have views out across the surf lagoon to the mountains and forests beyond. The Wave Garden Spa will also be the only one in North Wales where guests can have a complete immersion in the steam-based cleansing and purifying rituals of a traditional Hammam.
Outside, there is a warm hydrotherapy pool, loungers, relaxation pods and fire pits to keep guests cosy. A traditional wooden barrel sauna, fragrant herb garden and multipurpose relaxation space come yoga studio completes the outdoor experience.
