THE ST. REGIS HOTEL & BRANDED RESIDENCES, CAP CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

SPA & GYM

Chapi Design served as the interior design firm for a full-scale spa project, overseeing comprehensive spatial planning and execution without the involvement of a dedicated spa consultant. Through expert coordination and a deep understanding of wellness design principles, we addressed complex logistical and site-specific challenges, transforming the space into a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Our team prioritized optimizing spatial flow, zoning, and user experience, ensuring every detail—from layout efficiency to ambiance—exceeded client expectations. By integrating innovative solutions tailored to the unique location constraints, we delivered a spa that not only meets operational goals but also establishes a sanctuary of relaxation and sophistication. The result is a visually striking environment that elevates guest experience while maximizing the venue’s potential for success.

This project underscores Chapi Design’s capability to lead end-to-end spa transformations, even in the absence of specialized external consultants, by combining creativity, technical expertise, and strategic problem-solving.

The design challenge of limited natural light at the SPA reception has been ingeniously addressed by Chapi Design, which introduced a stunning skylight beneath the water pool overhead. This innovative solution not only enhances the ambiance of the space but also transforms the very experience of arriving at the SPA.

With natural light filtering through the water, the reception area is bathed in a soft, ethereal glow that shifts throughout the day, creating a dynamic and inviting atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow, as sunlight dances across the walls and floor, adds an enchanting quality to the environment, inviting guests to relax and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the space.

Moreover, the presence of lush vegetation cascading from the edges of the skylight further enriches the sensory experience. This thoughtful integration of nature not only brightens the reception area but also fosters a deep connection between the indoor environment and the natural world outside.

Complementing the skylight feature, Chapi Design’s custom-patterned curved wall part elegantly wraps around the area, seamlessly integrating with the architectural elements. This thoughtfully designed wooden screen, featuring intricate cutouts, not only serves as a visual focal point but also invites the gentle warmth of natural light to flow through. The result is a captivating environment that celebrates the beauty of light while maintaining an aesthetic appeal that is distinctly modern yet timeless.

The locker area lacks natural light as well. To address this, Chapi Design introduced a unique lighting solution above the makeup vanity, designed to mimic the effect of a skylight. Guests have appreciated this thoughtful and distinctive feature.

The lounge area is bathed in abundant natural light. Chapi Design has created a mix of private seating nooks, enhanced with custom screens and drapes, and open communal seating spaces to accommodate a range of preferences and needs.
