With the appropriate design, wellness facilities not only thrive financially, but also create spaces for amazing guest experiences. And something they will want to tell others about!
Success can take several forms for a spa or a wellness facility. Reaching the expected, or exceeding, return on investment (ROI), generating strong steady revenue flows during off peak times, and cashing in on a healthy profit is an enviable achievement. Under a well managed scenario, a spa may even beat the market in profitability, especially with the right spaces dedicated to not only revenue driving areas (retail, treatment spaces, facility fees), but to the sections of the spa that make a guest feel most comfortable and want to return (relaxation spaces, outdoor connectivity, pools and gardens).
