The new owners of an Isle of Wight hotel, which is currently undergoing a multi-million-pound refurbishment, have unveiled details about its proposed new spa.

The Albion Hotel, in Freshwater Bay, has been bought by Surrey-based A2K Leisure which is looking to improve and rejuvenate the building.

A spa building would be built on part of the hotel's car park and link to the current swimming pool building.

It would have a studio space, six treatment rooms, a courtyard area, a covered walkway and a water feature.

The hotel would also have a sauna and jacuzzi.

Modh Design, the planning agents on behalf of the hotel, say the extension would be sympathetic, rather than an after-thought add-on.

At the moment, the car park is owned by the hotel but non-residents can pay to park there. As part of the changes, spaces will be for the use of hotel guests and spa users only.

The company say the spa would create additional employment opportunities, along with jobs at the hotel.

Solar panels are proposed to be installed on the main building.

You can view the plans, 23/00780/FUL, on the Isle of Wight Council's planning portal. Comments can be submitted until June 19.
