Sports-Medical-Spa in Dubai Sports City. Location is destined to be the world's premier sporting destination.

Dubai, UAE, 18th June 2008: The Cube is a unique project which provides condo residences with about 50 to 285 sqm, offering the full service of a hotel. It serves even highest demands as it does not only provide ultra modern apartments but also outstanding sports and lifestyle facility on two floors and an additional pool floor with amazing views. It includes a wellness & spa area with sophisticated sport-medical competence ready to cover needs of both top professional athletes as well as to health conscious people.

As a leading German development company BMG Group has chosen Dubai Sports City to be the site of their most exciting project yet. Under that purpose BMG has partnered with Schletterer Wellness & Spa Design for realizing an outstanding sports and medical spa concept.

Positioning the Cube as "the sports hotel" in Dubai the Wellness & Spa area high lightens its unique orientation because of its outstanding facilities and treatments. On 3.000 sqm external and internal guests will enjoy high class sports and medical facilities like cardio, weight, kinesis training as well as active exercise zones, physio therapist services and oxygen infusions. In addition to special therapy sections the spa will offer elements such an infinity treatment pool, signature sport & wellbeing treatments, ceremony treatment suites and a 4 Senses Spa Zone. Outstanding treatment and beauty facilities (Serail-, herbal-, steam- and salt inhalation bath, cosmetic and ayurveda treatments) as well as a holistic thermal & refreshing zone with bio sauna, laconium, floating sound pool, etc. will create well-being atmosphere on highest standards. By the beginning of 2010 the Cube should be completed.

"Dubai Sports City is not only a major development project it is also an important asset for the region in attracting revenue and also contributing to a wider culture of involvement in sport," Gerd Wuhlert, Managing Director, BMG Group.

Wellness and Dubai - two booming topics
The medical wellness development in the global tourism industry can't be ignored anymore.   There will be multifunctional concepts which offer a number of treatments and therefore are top cost-efficient. Spa equipment shall increasingly address all senses, must be state-of-the art and blends in with the whole concept.

"In the future those spa concepts will succeed which focus on preventative health care. Medical examinations will soon be part of medical spas", Dr. Gerald Huber, Regional Director UAE / GCC, Schletterer Wellness & Spa Design.

Dubai, being an incredible fast growing metropolis, the increasing people awareness of healthy nutrition, sports, mental balance, as well as the climate circumstances of course latest tourism trends needs to be considered and even be created. Under that purpose BMG partnered with Schletterer Wellness & Spa Design, known as innovative trendsetter in spa consulting and spa design, to create the best to cover all the guest demands in one competent, fascinating offer.

Unique low-oxygen spa
Supporting this trend BMG Group offers a unique selling point by implementing a ground-breaking German technology, which offers athletes an innovation in medical prevention and rehabilitation. This technology is used to increase red blood cells by reducing oxygen in the air, a situation only experienced at high altitudes.

Considering such sport and medical wellness aspects (vitality, relaxation, and wellness experiences, nutrition and sports medical programs) in one offer, the Cube clearly positions as a top sportive competence with outstanding health spa facilities. Athletes, football teams but also health and sport conscious people will find best circumstances for a healthy stay. Also the medical metabolic benefit of this high-altitude training (in view of diabetes therapy) is considered.

Schletterer grows Arabian presence
