The wild spa at Elkins Boatyard in Christchurch will be available from July 20 as part of Bestival co-founders Rob and Josie da Bank's expanding wellness brand, Slomo. The contrast therapy hub is home to a Slomo Temple Sauna that can seat and heat up to ten people, a Slomo Box Sauna accommodating up to eight, and three ice baths (one communal) with parasol-shaded seating and lounging areas. Designed and curated by Josie who is creative director of Camp Bestival, the Nordic spa inspired space is situated between a meander of the rivers Avon and Stour.
DJ and wellness guru co-founder Rob da Bank said: "We are thrilled to open Slomo Christchurch at such a beautiful spot with our goal of making hot and cold contrast therapy accessible to all. "Step into the soothing heat and let the sauna cleanse your body and calm your mind, with the ice baths giving you the headspace to conquer the day. "Our Slomo wellness wild spas are designed to help people relax, rejuvenate, recharge and reconnect.
Slomo is about stepping back and slowing down, disconnecting from digital to allow connection with a community of like-minded people in real life instead." Celebrated for numerous health benefits, including relaxation, improved circulation, lower blood pressure, enhancing immune and neurological functions, reduced joint pain and boosted mood, the popularity of contrast therapy in the UK has soared. Slomo (formerly known as Slow Motion) was set up by the da Banks, dedicated to offering wellness so.
