Your spa may not have the budget, square footage or allure of a destination resort in Bali or Istanbul. Yet you can transform your rooms and services to give it that unmistakable resort feel. Just follow the advice from these experts that will have your clients sigh with pure bliss. Ahhh…
FEELING SPACIOUS
There’s no doubt that resort spas are synonymous with spaciousness— ample hallways, cathedral-like ceilings and seemingly unending scenery.
