While the forward end of the aircraft retains all the usual VIP cabin amenities and features, at the aft Winch has concentrated on creating a private wellness retreat that means time spent in the air needn’t interfere with a healthy lifestyle.

The design team took influence from Asian spas, Zen principals, mindfulness techniques and sustainable materials, and drew on the extensive experience that Winch Design has creating award-winning spas on yachts. Taking a deliberate step away from the interiors of the past, the result is a cabin flooded with light and space, creating an experience quite different from anything else on the market.

At the forward end, Winch has opened-up the floorplan to create a spacious room for practising yoga, with full-height mirror panels, foot-worn timber flooring and sustainable materials accentuating the feeling of serenity. Moving aft, a large tapchan style day-bed allows a flexible space for rest and relaxation or a chance to shut off and meditate. Adding to the feeling of serenity, research has shown that the background ‘white-noise’ of aircraft acts as the perfect environment to practise mindfulness. The design team opted for natural fabrics, leathers and marbles, favouring raw, organic textures and patterns over man-made finishes to accentuate the tranquil atmosphere of the cabin. Softly-lit panels and harmonious feature lighting compliment the materials. The living space opens into the bathroom, intersected by a large, glass walled aromatherapy steam-shower that joins the two spaces, allowing natural light to flow into the bathroom, where green-onyx walls, carved stone basins and brass fittings invoke the feeling of high-end spas.

Winch Design believe that private aviation should be a joyful experience and the Yoga Concept shows that luxury is no longer about gold taps and deep-pile carpets but about the quality of time, experiences and memories.
