Elegant Hotels Group is encouraging guests to add an extra splash of colour to their Barbados break by launching a new 'Shades of Waves' colouring book for adults as part of the launch of its newest property, Waves Hotel & Spa, opening in August 2016.

Unlike its five sister properties and indeed anywhere else in Barbados, Waves Hotel & Spa is an all-inclusive property that offers guests a comprehensive mind and body retreat on the platinum west coast of the island. The style, culinary experience, setting, activities and spa treatments have all been designed to create an empowering, inspiring and ultimately relaxing holiday.

Created by local island artist Catherine Cummins, who is famed for her drawings and stunning textile creations, 'Shades of Waves' is an intricately designed colouring book that features truly Bajan motifs. Specifically developed to help de-stress and focus the mind, 'Shades of Waves' is set to inspire guests of all ages to pick up a colouring pencil and drift into a tranquil state.

Guests are encouraged to colour at least one page a day to help them acclimatise to a more relaxed way of life at the hotel, as well as take part in one of the many 'mindful movement' activities available in resort, including up to four* complimentary spa treatments during their stay.

In addition to the new colouring book and inclusive spa treatments, Waves Hotel & Spa will feature a range of 'mindful movement' sessions that have been designed to release tension, boost vitality and help guests enjoy the present. These include stand-up paddle boarding, al fresco Kickboxing and outdoor yoga in the yoga pavilion, Pilates in the Zen garden and complimentary golf for all guests at the nearby South Coast Golf Club.**

The Spa at Waves Hotel & Spa will feature Elemis products and treatments as well as a sauna, steam room and mani-pedicure station. The spa's signature treatment, The Waves Bespoke Ritual spa package, uses the island-grown grapefruit to repair and invigorate the skin. Originating in Barbados, and the signature scent of the hotel, the grapefruit's natural properties leave the body energised and revitalised.

Sunil Chatrani, CEO of Elegant Hotels Group said “Great psychologists such as Carl Jung have been 'prescribing' adult colouring for many years as a way of clearing the mind and bringing calm to a sense of chaos. We want to make sure our guests make the most of their time with us and our new 'Shades of Waves' colouring book is another element to our wellness offering at the resort that help them achieve a tranquil state. With an incredible spa, blissful activities, luxury accommodation, exquisite dining options and stylish touches throughout, our newest addition to the Elegant Hotels Group family is sure to be a real hit with guests.”
