We want you to leave our resorts feeling refreshed and renewed, that’s why we have made a number
of improvements at Champneys Forest Mere. We’ve added a new relaxation space to our Mere
Orangery and have completely renovated the Mere Restaurant set in the old house as well as the
main restaurant – transforming in both style and cuisine.
We’ve also introduced a new studio and conference space, refurbished guest bedrooms and
will be revamping the main reception, spa reception and boutique.
Most exciting of all, though, is the launch of our new Thermal Poolside Suite – creating an
‘indoor forest’ to reflect our beautiful Hampshire surroundings. This haven of tranquillity features
heated water beds, a snug, relaxation swing, Jacuzzi, laconium, experience shower and steam room.
Exclusive to the resort, the suite also has its own snow room!

BEAUTY
FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN REMEMBER, CHAMPNEYS HAS DRIVEN THE LATEST
INNOVATIONS AND CHAMPIONED NEW PHILOSOPHIES TO HEALTH AND
WELLBEING. THIS MONTH WE TAKE A LOOK AT DECLÉOR’S PIONEERING
AROMA BLEND TECHNIQUES.
Decléor have created a completely new approach to massage and body sculpting – a highly effective technique that is
entirely bespoke to the individual and their body firming needs.
Exclusively developed by the ‘most in-demand masseuse in the world’, Chico Shigeta, the treatment combines Chico’s
four pillars of harmonious beauty: staying slim and toned, sleep, maintaining energy and love.
That’s why she has collaborated with Decléor to create the Aroma Blend collection. With a blend of vigorous
Japanese massage, draining movements and Sophrology, the treatments ease both the body and mind (simultaneously)
with a bespoke fusion of 25 different types of essential and plant oils.
For bloating, Chico has combined grapefruit, patchouli and marjoram oils, which have draining and decongestant
effects, with active muscle-relaxing oils such as lavender.
For firmness, she uses rockrose and geranium oil combined with sage, which improves circulation. While for a
slim waist, she uses lavender, fennel and sweet orange, which have soothing effects on digestion, and are combined
with peppermint, which has anti-pain virtues to ease body and mind.
As ever, at Champneys, it’s pampering done right.
AROMA BLEND REFINE
AND FIRM MASSAGE
A tailor-made body shaping ritual for longlasting skin transformation. A completely
new approach to massage and body
sculpting, this highly effective massage is
completely bespoke to you and your refining
and firming needs. Unwind and relax as
your Champneys therapist blends a fusion of
essential oils and plant oils to focus on what
you would like to achieve and how you would
like to feel. Your body will feel recharged and
your emotions balanced.
