The firm views each client spa visit as an opportunity to escape into the world of personal wellness, enrichment, exploration and belonging. The spa becomes a place where each client is free to create their own private version of the good life. WTS believes people think and are drawn to elements of water and to nature – that there is a desire to reconnect to ideas of the sea, the forest and the mountains and to be immersed in and surrounded by them. WTS will bring its unique approach to spa management to Buona Vita at Treviso Bay. The Spa has been designed as a tranquil oasis of renewal and fulfillment that will afford clients the opportunity to celebrate the effects of water and nature. The Club & Spa will offer an all-encompassing escape to a restorative retreat, including progressive treatment and goal-oriented wellness programs specifically planned to rejuvenate both body and spirit. Each Buona Vita Spa guest will receive a personal consultation designed to ascertain specific treatment needs and preferences. Massage and bodywork, facials and steam and sauna sessions are just several of the services that will be offered. Each private treatment room will present a reflection pool that surrounds the entire treatment space. A couples’ treatment room and outdoor treatment cabanas will provide additional treatment settings that can be personalized to accommodate individual tastes. A state of the art skin care room will offer the latest in technology and a naturally inspired skin care line. Other highlights include a lap pool, yoga deck, Tai Chi lawn and a poolside labyrinth walk that will serve as either an introduction to the spa or as a delightful extension of the post spa experience. The Club will include a 4,300 square foot fitness center, a 1,700 square foot Pilates and aerobics studio and a dedicated spinning area. Circuit training, sports conditioning and water aerobics and conditioning programs will be offered. Members may choose to work out individually or with a personal trainer, and then relax in the Florida sun at one of the Club’s tropical pools. A retail shop and organic snack and beverage wi-fi bar will also be included. "The residents of Treviso Bay expect the best," said Kuttemperoor. "The combination of the PGA TOUR TPC Treviso Bay Golf Course and Clubhouse, the Buona Vita Club & Spa, the Odyssey Treviso Bay Marina Club, the tranquil setting adjacent to the Rookery Bay Reserve and the community's location will allow residents to experience every aspect of the lifestyle that makes Naples and Southwest Florida so appealing." Qualified interior design firms will be invited to present their ideas for creating a luxurious and relaxing ambiance throughout the Club & Spa facility. Architect Matt Joyner, AIA will coordinate the presentation process over the next 60-90 days.
