Soma Reale Room · Immersive room for hotels, resorts and spas

Bookable wellness sessions and an immersive lounge, in the same space.

Soma Reale Room turns an existing indoor room into an immersive environment for one, two or three guests. The property sells 12-, 20- or 25-minute sessions and uses the same room as a lounge between bookings.

From CHF 14'900 VAT excluded · Dome 6 from CHF 29'900 VAT excluded

The service

Sessions when guests book. A lounge between appointments.

Soma Session provides private individual or couple appointments. Soma Lounge runs continuous ambient cycles for waiting, pre-treatment and post-treatment time. Staff operate both modes from the same panel, so the room becomes a sellable service and remains useful between bookings.

Soma + Activation + Measurement

The environment, service launch and measurement form one project.

The proposal links what is installed, how the property places it in its menu and the indicators needed to manage it. Measurement starts from a baseline and separates operations, adoption, economics and structured evaluation, with defined sources and responsibilities.

01 · Soma Reale

Environment, projection, sound, lighting, seating, TholusOS, programmes, installation, calibration, commissioning and training.

02 · Activation

Duration, launch price, booking, reception script, staff routine, materials and opening plan.

03 · Measurement

Sessions, occupancy, net revenue, contribution, staff time, downtime and 30- and 90-day reviews; further levels only when useful.

Guest journey

Five stages, from welcome to a room ready for the next guest.

The experience follows a clear sequence for both guest and staff: profile selection, entry, coordinated session, gradual return and reset. Every stage is tested during commissioning and training.

Compare the alternatives

Choose according to the service you want to create, not only the technology.

Soma Reale is suitable when a property wants bookable sessions, Lounge use, a shared experience and staff operation in an existing room. Other solutions remain valid when the priority is passive rest, individual use, visual communication or a complete spa refurbishment.

SolutionSuitable whenMain difference
Traditional relaxation roomYou need a passive, freely accessible and continuous environment.It does not create a programmed or bookable session.
Headset VRYou need an individual, highly interactive experience.It requires headsets, operating procedures and one device per guest.
Video wallThe priority is a bright surface for front-facing content.It remains a frontal display without a coordinated enveloping environment.
Multisensory podYou need a compact, autonomous unit for one person.It offers less shared space and less architectural integration.
Complete spa refurbishmentThe entire guest journey requires new building services and works.It has a broader scope in time, budget and construction.
Soma Reale RoomYou want to turn a room into Session and Lounge without headsets.It combines sessions, lounge and staff operation in one environment.

Why TUN can deliver it

Domes, multi-projection and immersive content: capabilities already delivered.

the usual neXt has designed and installed immersive domes, multi-projection environments and video mapping. These projects document practical expertise in structures, optics, audiovisual direction, software, assembly, calibration and commissioning: the same technical disciplines used in Soma Reale.

Lighthouse Installation Programme

The first Soma Reale Room will open in a property with an active wellness service.

We select a property with a suitable room, operational owner, booking model and baseline data. The programme combines assessment, design, technical demonstration, installation, Activation and 90 days of Measurement to create a documented case using an agreed method.

Application

An indoor Room, active or opening wellness flow, operational owner, involved decision-maker and planned start within six months form the priority profile.

Project and opening

Assessment, proposal, site readiness, technical demonstration, FAT, SAT, training and Activation follow agreed acceptance criteria and responsibilities.

Documented case

Baseline and 30- and 90-day reviews measure sessions, occupancy, net revenue, staff time, uptime, support and aggregated feedback.

The application opens an initial review. Dedicated conditions, filming, use of the property name, publishable data and reference calls are defined in the written agreement.

From survey to operation

The project delivers the environment, programmes and operating routine.

Survey and simulation define geometry, light, sound, seating, accessibility, network and climate control. Production and commissioning verify Soma Ambient, Arrival, Reset, Guided and Evening, together with comfort profiles, stop and recovery. Training, manuals, backup and support complete the handover.

Basis for design

Research guides content, pacing and comfort.

Soma Reale is a professional wellness experience designed for relaxation. Systematic reviews and studies on digital nature, restorative environments, breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and sound inform programme design. Preferences, intensity and the property context determine the configuration used for each project.

Real and digital nature

Reviews and meta-analyses associate exposure to representations of nature with stress recovery and lower anxiety, while reporting substantial variation between studies, people and media.

Restorative qualities

Research on restorative environments describes “being away” and effortless attention. Soma Reale translates these qualities into coherent landscapes, slow movement and audiovisual continuity.

Guided techniques

Breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery are offered as distinct programmes with recognisable language, duration and intensity.

Configurable vibration

Where included, low-frequency vibration remains adjustable and is activated by explicit choice, in line with the selected comfort profile.

Soma Reale is a wellness experience designed for relaxation; it is not a medical device or healthcare treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Essential answers before the assessment.

Space, capacity, price, operation, installation, support and wellness boundaries are gathered here. The initial assessment turns these inputs into the configuration applicable to your property.

What is Soma Reale?

Soma Reale is an immersive room for hotels and spas where panoramic imagery, spatial sound, lighting and reclining seats follow programmes designed for relaxation. It can operate as a bookable session or as an immersive relaxation lounge.

Can an existing room be converted?

Yes. Soma Reale Room is sized to the actual space through a modular shell that integrates front, side and overhead surfaces. Treatment rooms, relaxation rooms, converted guest rooms, offices and small meeting rooms can be assessed.

How much space do Room and Dome 6 require?

Room starts at approximately 12 m²; a 15–18 m² room will normally accommodate three reclining seats and a service zone. Dome 6 creates a dedicated pavilion for four to six guests and requires an indicative 8 × 8 metre area, local works and permits suited to the site.

How is it used and sold to guests?

It may be offered as a standalone 12-, 20- or 25-minute session, couple experience, upgrade, package component or amenity. Between bookings, Lounge mode runs continuous 45–60 minute cycles for pre-treatment and post-treatment use.

What does staff need to do?

Staff prepare the room, confirm duration, language and comfort profile, start the session and reset contact surfaces. TholusOS runs the sequence and displays its status. Guest and staff stop controls are verified during commissioning.

How much does it cost and what is included?

Room starts at EUR 14,900 VAT excluded; Dome 6 at EUR 29,900 VAT excluded. The base configuration includes design, immersive system, sound, lighting, seating, TholusOS, five programmes, installation, calibration and training. Site-specific works are stated separately.

What warranty and support are provided?

The standard proposal provides 24 months from SAT sign-off for covered components and activities, corrective and security updates, and working-day support. A complete P1 outage is acknowledged within four working hours; coverage, exclusions and conditions are stated in the contract.

What does maintenance and updating cost?

There are no undeclared automatic subscriptions. New content, new functions, on-site maintenance, recalibration and support after 24 months are quoted separately according to configuration, use and territory. Routine cleaning, building services and consumables remain with the property.

How long does installation take?

A Room typically requires 2–3 working days when the site is ready. Dome 6 typically requires 3–5 working days once its base, connections and permits are ready. Survey, design, approvals and production precede these days on site.

How are results and the business case assessed?

The calculator uses editable assumptions for activities, occupancy, price, costs and staff time. Measurement starts with a baseline and can follow operations, adoption, economics and structured evaluation; every indicator has a defined source, owner and frequency.

Is Soma Reale accessible and adjustable?

Route, door, turning area, seating, controls and assistance are checked for the project. Staff can choose Standard, Reduced Motion or Essential profiles, omit voice guidance and adjust volume within the limit defined for the site.

What kind of wellness experience does it provide?

Soma Reale is a wellness experience for relaxation, comfort and transition before or after treatments. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent conditions; content and intensity are configured for the intended audience and use.
