The work, due to begin in early March, is the first phase of the multi-million-pound redevelopment project at the five-star resort, as it seeks to reposition itself as one of Scotland’s top resorts and an international destination.

Mar Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort has commenced its renovation journey and shared a sneak preview of the new luxury spa and leisure facilities planned for relaunch during the first quarter of this year.

Meticulously designed under the expertise of Curveline Design, the new leisure facilities, incorporating both the gym and pool hall, will see a complete overhaul of the existing spaces.  With input from PRIMAL, leading strength and fitness brand whose clients include major gym chains and top leisure clubs, such as Soho House, the Mar Hall gym will be transformed into a state-of the-art facility.

Inspired by the sleek simplicity of Scandinavian design, the exciting plans from award winning spa designer, Curveline, are sympathetic to the listed building structure whilst modernising the spa as a luxurious, tranquil retreat for the senses, focused on wellness and wellbeing. Phase two of the refurbishment will also include a new wellness suite and spin studio.

In addition to the spa and leisure works being undertaken by Curveline, a select team of award-winning interior designers, architects and hospitality consultants has been appointed to transform Mar Hall and to take its redevelopment project forward.

Architects at Unwin Jones Partnership will work closely with the interior design team at Graven to transform the look and feel of the entire resort, while hospitality consultants, the Gorgeous Group, have been appointed to redefine the food and beverage experience for guests.

The aspiration for the resort, which has previously hosted Harry Styles, David Beckham, and Beyonce, is to rival Scottish five-star destinations such as Cameron House and Gleneagles. Early design plans centre on sympathetic restoration, capturing the essence of Mar Hall’s rich Scottish heritage, while adding a modern twist.
