FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do to determine whether to include a spa in my project or not? How do I determine the most appropriate size, scope and whether the spa can be a profit centre?
There is no longer any doubt that a spa can have a favourable impact on a hotel or resort’s average daily rate (ADR) or occupancy levels. It’s also vital to think about a spa as a competitive advantage for your hotel. A spa should be considered if your business is a full-service hotel, resort, or destination property, and it is a key component if you aim to operate as a luxury site, according to evidence. An Opulence by Pure Medical spa feasibility study can assist in determining the best size, initial space plan, and whether or not the spa can be profitable.
Because spas can be expensive to construct, this is an important initial step in determining whether or not to move to the design process. This report will also include a five-year operating pro forma with all revenue and expense assumptions, giving the owner or developer the most accurate picture of profit potential and expected return on investment.
Should I consider having a spa brand and, if so, what type of brand is best for my site?
You might want to think about creating an internal brand that is tailored to you and your project(s). If you plan to work on numerous projects and want a unified spa brand, it’s best to think about creating a brand that speaks to your sites and culture and can be reproduced across all future developments. It should be a brand that customers can instantly recognise as being associated with your organisation.
Alternatively, having an outside brand that is already a well-known commodity among customers, with cache and the potential for favourable exposure through press and media attention, is a viable option. Opulence by Pure Medical is one of these brands that fit this criterion that can be evaluated. In summary, if you’re thinking about including a spa, you should carefully evaluate a spa brand, whether it’s internal and controlled by the developer or external and owned by a third party.
How can I best ensure that my spa will be a financial success and drive enough revenue to more than meet operating expenses and show a profit to the bottom line? What makes a spa profitable?
This question does not have a clear answer. The single most critical thing is to hire and train spa workers who have a good impact on customers’ perceptions of the spa “experience” so that they will come again and again. This necessitates ongoing training in all aspects of guest and customer care, as well as a regular assessment of the minor details required to give exceptional service. A delineated spa menu of treatments that are easy to grasp and compelling, as well as a credible marketing and promotion plan that can be performed effectively, are also crucial factors.
Furthermore, treatment and therapy selection is critical, as it is often a determining factor in bottom-line performance. The spa must be exposed to both internal hotel/resort guests and a “non–guest community” in the surrounding area on a regular basis. In many cases, the spa must generate a significant amount of cash from outside sources close to the property in order to be viable. In conclusion, a quality staff focused on guest/customer service, an interesting and easy-to-understand menu of treatments, products that complement the facility and culture of the surroundings, and a proactive marketing/promotion effort all influence the possibility of a viable revenue stream and profits from a spa.
Is there a design firm with a lot of experience designing spas? What are some of the design considerations I should be looking for, and may Pure Medical help me with this?
Many architects and interior design businesses across the world have vast expertise in designing spas. Due to the numerous factors that must be considered, it is critical to first define the spa concept before beginning the design process. All too frequently, the facility’s design begins with the owner asking, “What makes my spa unique?” later in the process. Prior to diving into an actual design, it’s critical to think through the concept and theme.
Furthermore, rather than focusing just on the visual appeal of the spa, you should concentrate on the operational flow and functional features of spa design, as most mistakes are of a functional nature. From a functional standpoint, elements like facility flow, retail area design, locker room layout, IT/data areas, reception area and treatment room design, back-of-house facilities, and so on must all be considered.
Pure Medical has extensive experience assisting our clients in developing the most aesthetically appealing and functional spaces for spas, fitness and wellness facilities around the world; we have collaborated with a number of architecture and interior design firms, and we bring a functional perspective to the spa design process. If you don’t focus on operational concerns and flow from the beginning, you risk creating a spa that isn’t likely to be lucrative or incapable of creating “magical moments” for guests.
Once that spa opens, can your company manage the spa?
Pure Medical operates and manages spas all around the world. We provide the Spa Director and all other employees with thorough spa staff selection and ongoing training, as well as continuing operational support. Our strategy is to manage the spa as a business unit, not only as a suitable amenity to a project, with a focus on successful advertising and maximising the opportunity for our client to generate enough revenue to yield a solid return on investment.
Furthermore, we are committed to providing a remarkable experience for our guests, members, and residents by providing ongoing training and assistance to our spa staff. Opulence by Pure Medical brings a full team of senior corporate executives to the table who work with our spas, medi-spas and wellness centres to ensure that the facility meets and exceeds the aims and expectations of our clients.
How important is it to select the most viable retail products for sale at the spa and what role does this play in return on investment?
Retail goods are often offered at higher margins, which is critical to any spa’s success. They can also be sold to guests and customers after they leave the spa. In order to make the best product choices, geographic and cultural factors, as well as the kind of spa being established (resort, destination, day spa, medi-spa, metropolitan setting, etc.) must be considered.
Can Pure Medical help us create a spa concept and can they bring a brand to the table if needed?
We’ve established spa brands for a variety of clients, including individual projects as well as multi-property hospitality groups. We can also bring potential brand partners to a client for their consideration.
