Children can now enjoy their own spa facilities at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switerland.

An experience has been created for children across 550sq metres in Grand Hotel Hof Ragaz. The different water zones range from 0.2 to 1.3 metres deep and are filled with balmy 33-degree warm water.

This is part of the East Switzerland luxury resort’s expansion plan for its three-generation strategy. Aas Marco R. Zanolari, general manager of the Grand Hotels, said: “Children and their parents need space to let their hair down and to feel good.”

The creative mind behind the expansion is interior designer Claudio Carbone, who has also headed up other projects in Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, including the Spa Suites Tower, which opened in 2009.

Carbone recreated the Tamina Gorge in rustic rock faces. A wooden Alpine hut is a reminder of the story of Heidi and all manner of water games like the mini slide invite youngsters to splash around in the warm water.

Activities include mermaid swimming, aqua Latin dance, learning about the underwater world and a kids’ party on Saturday evenings. The spa also offers swimming lessons for those not yet confident in the water.

The spa’s wellness menu also offers special child-friendly treatments, including the Funny Choco massage, the Sweet Honey massage, Bling Bling Fingers and Happy Feet. Nail care is part of the programme as well as trendy nail polish and sparkling jewels.

The spa is supplied with Gharieni treatment tables.
