Revisit the womb

A spa in Gran Canaria lets guests revisit the experience of being in the womb.

The Corallium Spa in the Lopesan Costa Meloneras resort has a special red and pink room, complete with low lighting and water beds, designed to simulate what life is like before birth.

Visitors are offered total relaxation via the beds, which are the colour of blood because they are "designed to indicate the amniotic sac".

A spokeswoman for the spa said: "According to recent research, around 60 per cent of adults suffer from sleep problems and one third from insomnia.

"The Womb Room could be the answer to those restless nights."
