Aqua Sheko in the UK by 7Gods
Aqua Sheko is a unique spa concept, using Garra Rufa fish to exfoliate dead skin from clients’ feet. It is the first fish therapy spa in London, and the first I have ever heard of this kind of spa experience.
7Gods have used a dark decor to highlight the fish and create a restful and tranquil experience for clients. The wall patterns have been designed and applied by hand by the designers, all of the lighting is also handmade. The furniture is clad with black glass and a high-gloss finish to feel more luxurious.
The interior feels a little more nightclub-ish to me than spa-like, but I suppose this is not a traditional spa to begin with.
The lucky little guys:
While I’m not in favor of using fish for exfoliation I have to say I love the edgy spa interior. It’s refreshing to see a departure from the usual spa design (light wood, glass tile, bamboo accents) in favor of something a little dark and funky. It may not be Zenful bliss but is surly a memorable trip to the spa.
Agreed, the design is amazing! Not too sure of fish scrubbing my feet though and the environment does not look very relaxing.
This fish thing seems to be becoming quite popular. The style of the spa is pretty cool, but it doesn’t look very tranquil. It looks more like a trendy lounge than a spa but still a cool design.
The design is very unique for a spa! And the reflection of those fabulous lights give the ceiling a watery feel too. I love this concept of a dark underwater world with little fish nibbling at your feet. Very cool indeed!
