Valérie Vanier - SPAMEETING Director

Interview of Valérie Vanier, SPAMEETING Director

Two days of planned and qualified “business meetings”. The Spameeting will accelerate the completion of 150 spa projects suiting the expertise of 50 suppliers. Valerie Vanier, Director of this highly anticipated event, presents the highlights of this unique business meeting which will be held for the first time in the sublime setting of the Sofitel Marrakech, on 3 & 4 March 2011.

Why organize an event like Spameeting?
Valerie Vanier: The advantage is obvious. The ‘speeddating’ format makes for immediate interactivity between confirmed project holders and spa suppliers. The meetings are pre‐programmed; each one will meet the other because they chose to do so. They will be able to go straight to the point. This is a procedure with immediate results. Unlike an exhibition, everyone is on an equal footing to draw attention to its strong points.

What are the projects that were selected?
Valerie Vanier: 50 decision‐makers will be there, representing more than 150 selected spa projects. We have pre‐selected these projects based on several criteria. Programmed for implementation primarily in Europe and North Africa, these spas will be constructed in a short span of time, between 6 to 18 months maximum, and are financially sound. We have a combination of institutions, large hotel chains such as Oberoi, Sofitel, Four Seasons, JW Marriott, Starwood, etc., independent hotel chains (Ulysse, Yadis …), Dayspas (The Sanctuary), and independent projects, particularly in Morocco.

Who are the suppliers selected to meet them?
Valerie Vanier: The selection committee has also chosen 50 suppliers. These are really high category professionals with wide international experience in spas. Among them are brands for spas, institutions, organic products, cosmetic treatments, equipment, clothing, interior design, software… a wide variety of high‐end providers.

Apart from business meetings, what is planned?
The interest to go to Marrakech is also a time to enjoy informal gatherings. To meet for two days, participants will have time to exchange and meet in a unique context! In addition, two business briefings will reinforce the interest of the event. The themes are: the hotel potential in Morocco and sustainable development in 2020, and supply welness & Spa in the hotel.

Sofitel Marrakech

Why choose Marrakesh?
Valerie Vanier: Because this region is actively involved in spas. Beautiful projects, institutional or independent, are underway. It is a geographical area that is very dynamic with strong growth.
Marrakech is the first step of the Spameeting “road‐show”. We are already working on the next edition that will take place late 2011 in Dubai. The Spameeting business meetings are intended to welcome the experts in spa, the latest projects, the best suppliers from different parts of the world. The 3rd and 4th editions are also being prepared on other continents. Marrakech, because it is an ideal choice for the convivial aspect of this meeting and conviviality is an essential aspect of networking. It is important to establish good relations from the outset when we are going to work together on projects that sometimes have a timeline of 2 or 3‐years.

Seven Colours Spa, Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort

The Seven Colours Spa brand was conceived on the island of Mauritius, an ideal Spa destination, renowned all over the world for its multicultural way of life.

Seven Colours celebrates the art of wellbeing, turning it into a whole philosophy : a unique approach that is based on the interaction and balance of life giving energies and colours… a synthesis of ancestral therapies, stimulation of the senses, and the benefits of nature.

When we feel at peace in the lush green surroundings of a forest, or when we feel warm and happy in a decor full of sunny yellow tones, we are experiencing something that is more than merely a visual sensation.

Charged with energy, the colours are absorbed by our bodies, by our skin, and they influence our being at a deep level… our emotions and our state of mind. They stimulate our nervous system, feeding our 7 energy centres : the chakras.

Inspired by this oriental philosophy of the Chakras, the Seven Colours concept is based on the interaction and balance of the energies and colours that revitalise us. Seven Colours recognises and respects that we are all individual and unique and in line with this, we off er each client a personalised experience, across a range of treatments, our products and even extending to our Energy Cuisine. A unique approach… embodied in the motto dreamed up to encapsulate Seven Colours.

Seven Colours Spa, Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort

Our spas and wellbeing salons, our treatments, cosmetics and associated products specially created since 2004 according to the principles described above. Started in February 2008 at the Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort.

A new culinary experience inspired by the Seven Colours concept utilising essential oils and edible fl oral waters. The concept was developed in 2004 by Helene Cassan, a Frenchwoman with more than 10 years expertise in the world of beauty and wellbeing.

It was born out of her training in Oriental practices and techniques encompassing a holistic approach in which the individual is more important than the symptom and where the question of body energies underpins everything. The Seven Colours concept, which includes this philosophy, the various treatments, the range of cosmetics as well as a new approach to cooking, is based on two entities.

The Seven Colours Rituals
The “Colours Treatments”(violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) offer a complete selection of massages and body treatments, such as the Draining wrap (YELLOW), which drains and slims the body, or the Harmony massage (INDIGO), which caresses the body with extensive massage movements. To round off the colours treatments, Seven Colours offers a completely original set of facial massages and treatments… the “Signature Treatments”, such as the ‘Seven Colours’ massage in which we use warmed semi precious stones to work on the 7 energies. Finally, Seven Colours offers some original treatments, such as massage for babies, children or pregnant women… initiations into the art of massage or the art of relaxation… or personalised and thematic treatments.

Seven Colours Cosmetics
In order to reanimate these 7 energies and colours, Seven Colours Spa & Cosmetics has created a range of cosmetics based on plants and essential oils… 100% pure and natural. The essential oils used come from Madagascar, supplied by a laboratory that has demonstrated social and environmental commitment. Furthermore, Colbert Balneoforme laboratory works primarily with distillers who work for the promotion of the good of the environment. It also provides them with financial support when possible and if needed, and then repayment is in the form of distilled Products.

Seven Colours, Energy Cuisine

A newly invented cuisine
A new concept in cooking inspired by the Seven Colours concept, Seven Colours Energy Cuisine is an original and personalised experience that stimulates the energies that drive our life force… and a cuisine that explores a whole range of cooking methods, products, colours and textures, utilising essential oils and edible floral waters. All titillating the senses.

Just like the purple chakra and the red chakra, the dishes encompass a range of possibilities… from the lightest of dishes such as mousses, through the creamiest of textures, to more robust and earthy meals simmered long and slow. A healthy and innovative cooking, carefully and compiled with great knowledge by Executive Chef at the Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort, Philippe, in collaboration with Valérie Cupillard, consultant in culinary creation, specialised in the use of essential oils and organic products.

This fall, Geneva’s famous after the rain spa created by Isabelle Nordmann 7 years ago is launching its totally innovative concept for Europe, a spa for children. After the rain will be catering solely to children ages 7 to 17 one Wednesday afternoon per month, starting in the fall 2009. For this occasion, the spa is making available a menu of original treatments that will introduce children to the world of spa in a thoroughly delightful, fun way.

Christine Masson, the spa’s director and creator of the children’s treatments, has imagined 9 enchantingly magical treatments for both girls and boys. To give an example, Le petit Prince includes a 30-minute back and leg massage using a sweet almond oil scented with essential oils. The 45-minute Snow White treatment offers a pearl and silk facial. Strawberry Milkshake is a fragrant strawberry-scented bath served with cotton candy. As for little customers fond of all-sugar scrubs, they will have to try Melusine’s recipe… A wide array of creative treatments bearing the brand of the Swiss spa feature delectable recipes and 100 % enjoyable treatments.

The originality of the treatments is coupled with complimentary comforts for first-time spa-goers. Offering popcorn, cotton candy and sliced bread and jam, the snacks served in the rest area will be no doubt highly appreciated.

Beyond the concept’s magical aspect, Isabelle Nordmann and Christine Masson also wanted to teach children to be aware and take good care of their bodies. “This is an initiation to the spa universe, a friendly environment in which you can experience your first massage or your first facial”, says Christine Masson. The treatments were specially developed and designed for children. They feature shortened protocols and adjusted hand pressure during massaging; the products are safe for use on children. In their approach, the specially trained therapists, who for the most part have children of their own, will take into account their young customers’ reservations. The children will be cared for with the utmost attention to detail.

After launching the brand’s delectable treatments in 2002 and tandem treatments in 2004, will the pioneering and visionary Isabelle Nordmann and her partner Christine Masson start a new trend with the after the rain children’s spa? The future can only tell…

Developed exclusively by ESPA International for The Peninsula Hotels, the Simply Peninsula concept combines the passion, integrity and knowledge for which ESPA is renowned with the quality and exclusivity of Peninsula, resulting in a range which delivers on every level.

ESPA founder and CEO Susan Harmsworth was personally involved in creating the formulas with her chemists, to reflect the expertise and philosophy which has already gone into creating the individual spas and treatments. The products, to be retailed throughout the hotels and spas, will impart a unique difference to The Peninsula Spas by ESPA.

Over two years in development and with the formulation and approval process taking 18 months, a total of 23 essential oil blends were formulated and tested for the range during the development process. The blend development was split into two distinct ranges – Refreshing and Relaxing – comprising eight products in each, and on average, each Simply Peninsula product was reformulated at least five times and extensively tested before being evaluated and personally approved by Harmsworth.

“The partnership and collaboration between two great luxury brands – The Peninsula Hotels and ESPA – have joined forces to create luxury products branded “Simply Peninsula” to enhance The Peninsula’s signature treatments and ceremonies that have been created over the last few years with ESPA, and to bring the heritage and culture of Peninsula spas into formulas of treatments and products which can be retailed and used within Peninsula hotels”, Susan Harmsworth said.

Peter Borer, Chief Operating Officer of The Peninsula Hotels, added “We are delighted to build on our long-standing relationship with ESPA to develop this new range of Simply Peninsula treatments and products, which enable our Peninsula guests to continue to enjoy their spa experiences at home”.

The Simply Peninsula Ceremonies

A range of treatments created exclusively by ESPA for each Peninsula Spa, Peninsula Ceremonies reference the wellness culture of each destination. A truly personal experience, each Peninsula Ceremony uses a combination of ESPA and Simply Peninsula products, created to meet the specific needs of the moment and drawing on Asian influences and techniques, linked together to nurture and rebalance the body in times of change, pressure and stress.

To be introduced in six Peninsula Hotels (Hong Kong, New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Bangkok) by June 2009 with the other three (Beijing, Manila and Shanghai) at a later date, The Spirit of Peninsula Body Treatment and the Simply Peninsula Foot Treatment are the newest regimens – two intricate, sophisticated and holistic Peninsula Ceremonies using only Simply Peninsula products, which fuse European concepts with Asian philosophies combined with contemporary therapy skills, resulting in the creation of a whole new treatment experience.

When choosing a treatment, the customer will not consciously decide between ESPA or Simply Peninsula, but will choose the treatment which best suits their needs and desires at that moment. The two ranges work harmoniously to offer the Peninsula customer the utmost choice of treatments and experiences, with the knowledge that the product and the therapist’s techniques will be of the highest standard.

The Simply Peninsula products

A key component of the Peninsula Wellness programme, Simply Peninsula enables guests to continue their sensual adventure beyond their hotel stay. The Peninsula’s exclusive line of luxurious bath and body care products uniquely reflect a fusion of Asian, Ayurvedic and European philosophies and traditions, culminating in a range that is as sensuous and therapeutic as it is efficacious.

Available for sale from June 2009 at six Peninsula Hotels (Hong Kong, New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Bangkok) with the other three properties (Beijing, Manila and Shanghai) at a later date, the Simply Peninsula range comprises Body Lotion, Hand Cleanser, Shower Gel, Foam Bath, Shampoo and Conditioner (all 200 ml) and Bath Oil and Body Oil (both 100 ml), in two fragrances – Refreshing and Relaxing.

Drawing on Asian traditions which are key to the Peninsula experience all around the world, the two elements of the range focus on the need to be relaxed and rejuvenated or to be revitalised and restored. The Refreshing line of products blends essential oils of lemongrass, rosemary and wild mint which are traditionally known to uplift the spirit, restore energy levels and clear the mind, while the Relaxing line blends the purest essential oils of ylang-ylang, patchouli and clove known to help calm and soothe the mind and promote inner peace.

Made in England in accordance with strict European regulations (to ensure minimum wastage and use of materials), the highly natural formulae contain only the purest essential oils and botanical extracts, and are paraben-, SLES-, artificial colour- and fragrance-free. The packaging is 99% recyclable.

Urban Spa and shop… where Organic merges with Luxury

In the world-renowned Ratchaprasong District located in the heart of Bangkok, the prestigious Gaysorn Plaza offers 5 floors exclusively dedicated to lifestyle. In this premium destination, the world’s most famous luxury brands are all present.

This is the location chosen by Pañpuri for its brand new Temple: an urban spa and shop, offering an unmatched opportunity to find the ultimate pleasure of connecting with the soul of Thailand’s most luxurious spa products. Pañpuri’s alchemy emanates from every inch of this 300 sq meter haven where Western luxury merges with the secrets of Eastern well-being.

Upon entering, tall glass showcases make a captivating impression, while eye-catching black-mirrored displays draw attention and awe. From the basin handcrafted with precious materials, to the satin-finished walls on which the brand’s emblem is displayed, the visitor’s senses are titillated by the balance and harmony revealed.

This same holistic concept will be applied to all future “Pañpuri Organic Spas” that are now being planned worldwide.

In Sanskrit, “pañña” means wisdom, while “puri” denotes a palace. The irresistible mystique of the spa combines with ancient expertise and traditions to offer total harmony of the body, the soul and the environment.

Pañpuri is the place where one can discover the perfect balance between the inner self and the outer world… an outer world shaken by the urban turmoil, where the inner self finds its peace within the Spa’s treatment alcoves. It escapes, captivated by Pañpuri’s unmatched fragrances, soothed and surrounded by entrancing mosaics, in an enchanting, dream-like atmosphere.

Out-of-vogue in brief: Pañpuri receives Danish Beauty & Cosmetics Award 2008.
Internationally renowned Pañpuri was named Niche Brand of the Year 2008 during the Danish Beauty Award created by Kosmetik Fagbladet and Nina H. Kluge.
Consequently, Pañpuri became the first Thai brand to receive a prestigious North European award recognized for strict selection criteria.

Situated in the heart of Milan in the fashion district, the spectacular new Lepri Lifestyle Salon and Spa is steps away from the city’s most important historical landmarks, including the La Scala Theatre and Palazzo Marino. It is located on Omenoni Street, renowned for the Omenoni Palace built in 1965, whose façade is decorated with the work of famous Italian 16th century sculptor, Antonio Abondio.
The three-level, 240 square meter location will offer the complete Aveda experience: a full-service salon, spa and retail area featuring Aveda’s plant-based hair care, skin care, body care and lifestyle products.
The Lepri Lifestyle Salon & Spa opens is ownership by long-time Aveda partner, and renowned Italian hairdresser, Fabrizio Lepri. Lepri’s global hairdressing experience includes work in London, Madrid, Los Angeles and Paris, where he collaborated with leading global stylist, Claude Maxime. Lepri comes from a long-standing tradition of Milanese hairdressers; in 1958, his father opened the renowned Pisoni Street Salon which served a loyal clientele of socialites and glitterati.
Together, Lepri and Aveda have created a salon and spa that fuses technical expertise in hairdressing with wellness and environmental responsibility—providing guests with a holistic experience. The LSS is certain to become a central point of reference for beauty and wellness in Milan.

ECO-SUSTAINABILITY
Aveda’s Lifestyle Salon & Spa seamlessly merges the brand’s environmentally sustainable design principles with authentic Italian craftsmanship. Designed by architect, Matta, the project was conceived of and executed with materials that fully respect Aveda’s environmentally conscious design principles. “This space fully embraces Aveda’s global environmental mission by using recycled and sustainable materials throughout,” says Matta.

Design elements unique to the space include:
• Structural elements made with non-treated black iron that is processed without the use of chemicals
• Plaster-free paving and ceilings
• Working station surfaces made of recycled plastic mobile phone covers. The unique surface reveals the color and shapes of the phone covers, including national flags, cartoon characters and other designs. The phones are melted together to create a smooth, workable surface.
• Work station dividers featuring floating glass panels embedded in chemical-free molten metal
• Locally-sourced, sustainable bamboo woodwork and paneling
• Rice paper paneling, room dividers and décor elements throughout the salon. Rice paper replaces traditional methyl methacrylate and contains vegetable fibers that have a low environmental impact.
• Pollution-free, water-based paints. The thin veil of color leaves a translucent finish that reveals the natural texture of the wall.
• Pollution-free, chemical-free lime wall finishes that provide a rough, natural, uneven texture

The Lepri Lifestyle Salon and Spa is also furnished with environmentally responsible materials selected by Excel, a local furnishing company. Excel specializes in the creation of environmentally-friendly, sustainable furniture exclusively for salons and spas
