This is a project in the Kyčerka Resort, in the middle of the Carpathians. It consisted of the construction of six extra-large Eclipse models by Alpha Wellness Sensations within the holiday park, to complement the hotel and chalets dedicated to wellness activities: a gigantic water park that combines various swimming pools and healthcare facilities.
The new wing uses local wood and stone, and it showcases the Eclipse vessels placed against a rising slope. Each model is covered with heather mats, linked by wooden terraces that connect the saunas to the relaxation room, and also customized into an Eclipse structure. The relaxation vessel has ergonomic benches with extendable footrests and a back wall made of rough saltstone.
The other vessels have four types of saunas, each with a dressing area. There is a Finnish sauna, a Bio sauna, an infrared room, and a hammam. The Bio sauna and the Finnish sauna have two levels of benches and the Eclipse vessels that host the hammam and the shower are finished in mosaic tiles. All six vessels have LED indirect lighting.
The following are the customized characteristics of each one of the Eclipse vessels.
