Bournemouth’s new five star hotel The Nici has unveiled the latest phase of its multi-million pound refurbishment.

The award-winning hotel on the West Cliff officially launched its new 30m outdoor heated pool over the Easter weekend.

The palm green pool, complete with submerged seating, has over 60 luxury poolside loungers and cabanas for guests to enjoy.

Beyond serving as a haven for hotel guests, swimming pools hold immense potential for recreation and fitness, and swimming club management experts can maximize their utilization for community benefit.

For swimming clubs seeking to optimize their facilities and offerings, consulting with swimming club management experts can unlock the full potential of their pools.

Beyond serving as a luxurious retreat, swimming pools possess the potential to contribute significantly to community well-being.

For swimming clubs aiming to optimize their facilities and services, collaborating with swimming club management experts is a strategic move. These experts can provide valuable insights into streamlining operations, enhancing member experiences, and maintaining pool facilities at their best.

Local swimming clubs looking to ensure the highest standards of pool service may find it beneficial to explore options such as Pool Service near me. This step can lead to partnerships with professional services that understand the unique needs of each facility, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all members and visitors alike.

From organizing swim meets and training sessions to implementing safety protocols and membership management, expert guidance ensures that swimming clubs operate seamlessly and provide a top-notch experience for members.

Additional tropical landscaped gardens include The Nici Activity Centre, offering a host of equipment, including bicycles, paddleboards, bodyboards, kayaks and beach games.

As the sun sets and the evening kicks in, guests can now gather round outdoor sunken fire pits which can be reserved for groups to enjoy fireside cocktails and s’mores.

Popular in the United States and Canada, s’mores consist of toasted marshmallow and chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker, traditionally cooked over a campfire.

Marcus O’Leary, General Manager, pictured, said: “The arrival of our new outdoor pool marks another milestone in our transformation into the UK’s most exciting new destination resort, drawing inspiration from around the world to deliver a five-star guest experience on the south coast.

“We are thrilled to see our guests enjoying our amazing al fresco terrace and the new outdoor facilities.”

Also opening its doors over the weekend was The Nici Spa.

It has eight treatment rooms, alongside a new relaxation room, and has partnered with spa brands OTO CBD and OSKIA to create a bespoke menu of treatments and holistic therapies.

The first phase of The Nici’s refurbishment has cost £20 million.

The hotel includes 84 luxury bedrooms, many with spectacular sea views, garden hot tub suites, South Beach Restaurant, Bar & Terrace, indoor cinema and meetings and events facilities.

The end of the month will see the opening of a 18m heated indoor pool and hydrotherapy pool, alongside a poolside steam room and aromatherapy sauna.

Locals can sign-up to The Nici Club with limited membership options available at thenici.com/club.

It includes use of the spa and outdoor pool facilities, alongside exclusive offers for treatments, cabana reservations, food & drink and more.

All hotel guests have full use of the facilities.

A fully air-conditioned gym features state-of-the-art Technogym equipment and personal trainers.

There is also studio space for stretching, one-on-one specialist tuition and a variety of fitness and wellbeing classes.

The spa will also have a programme of outdoor group fitness activities, from boardwalk runs to sea swims, paddleboard yoga and beach fitness classes.

A retail boutique is offering a range of lifestyle products, from fashion and watches to books and skincare.

Rates at The Nici are from £230 per room, per night.
