Company name: AquaCure
Location: Lake Trasimeno in Italy
This location have we chosen, because there is a warm Mediterranean climate in Italy, so the water
would not be too cold for the guests. In addition, according to our survey almost all potential
customers would like to have a floating wellness resort in Southern Europe.
Company description:
A wellness resort that is floating on Trasimeno, in Italy. The resort aims to support guests' mental
well-being, by offering various activities and services on/in the water, as well as on the “Island”. The
“Island” describes the central stage of the resort, where various facilities such as the restaurant, spa
but also various areas for treatments and workshops are located. Water activities the resort offers
are for instance yoga and meditation sessions on paddle boards. The accommodations for guests are
constructed in the form of smaller houseboats which are connected to the main island by wooden
planks. The guest rooms are equipped with the basic necessities, such as bed, toilet, shower and a
dock station for transportation. Minimalism and relaxation are the resort's key values which are
achieved by disconnecting from the world around AquaCure. Therefore, the resort bans any
electronic devices during the treatment time. Since the resort is built on Trasimeno, the
transportation possibilities for guests are by small boats like kayaks or paddle boards. During their
stay all food and drinks will be included, because a healthy diet is one the key factors for improving
your mental health. This of course is included in the price of the accommodations.
