Hughes Design Associates Designs Interior of The Spa at Sea Island, Georgia

Sarasota, FL, March 01, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Hughes Design Associates, a premier full service interior design firm led by world-renowned interior designer, Pamela Hughes, recently completed the design of The Spa at Sea Island, Sea Island, Georgia.

Sea Island is a privately-owned five-mile island with glistening white sand beaches, a salt marsh nature preserve, year-round temperate weather, and is home to The Cloister, an elegant Spanish and Mediterranean-style historic hotel originally designed by Addison Mizner in 1928. For the past three years, artisans and craftspeople – many of them commissioned by Hughes Design Associates – have played a role in rebuilding and restoring the majestic landmark hotel and adding a 65,000-square-foot spa to the historic resort.

The Spa at Sea Island, a new addition to the resort, reflects the distinctive style of the original Cloister hotel. The Spa is comprised of an assortment of outdoor courtyards and indoor retreats and is filled with elaborate mosaics, hand-woven fabrics, and imported woods.

Hughes Design Associates designed the salon, reception, fitness lobbies, steam and sauna rooms, lounges, treatment rooms, locker rooms, spa retail shop, yoga studio, squash gallery and courts, exercise and lap pools, and courtyards.
