This is only the first space under the wellness concept and the brand "M Wellness Spa" that are being developed together with the studio and the other partners. Future projects aim to keep this constant flowing communication between interior and exterior, designed to share experiences that can contribute to an improved life.
Minimal, timeless and immersive. These are just a few adjectives that define the new wellness space at Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, projected by Aires Mateus studio and carrying exclusive facial treatments in Alentejo by the Azores-born brand IGNAE.
The M Wellness Spa unearths different atmospheres through a journey where interior and exterior merge, celebrating the surrounding wine landscape. The colour green, in all its forms and contents, was inspired by the natural flora of the property. The 110-m2 spa includes a sensory shower, three treatment rooms and a sauna.
The treatments at the new M Wellness Spa are divided into IGNAE experiences, focused on specific facial products; and body treatments using wine, honey and rosemary, three primary ingredients of Herdade da Malhadinha Nova.
The M Wellness Spa also offers experiences combining yoga classes, sensory showers, a sauna, nutritional lunches with organic ingredients produced on the estate paired with wine, olive oil and honey and relaxation therapies or chakra alignment. This new chapter will also have the collaboration of a neurologist specialising in sleep, Dr Dulce Neutel, who, educationally, will share some of the benefits that contact with nature can bring to a more balanced sleep — essential for the proper functioning of our body and considered one of the three main pillars of health: nutrition, exercise and sleep.
