The Health Spas Guide was launched in March 2003. At that time it listed less than 10 spas. Two and a half years later (October 2005) the web site offered information about almost 100 health spas, hydros and wellness centres in South and Southern Africa.
Two more years later (October 2007) the number of spas listed passed the 200 mark.
The Health Spas Guide booking service has eight consultants handling a total of more than 200 queries a day and it confirms bookings to the value of almost R 2 million month.
The Gift Certificate Programme is managed by Shelley Johnson and offers vouchers that can be used at all spas listed on the web site. It is popular with both individuals and corporate clients.
The Health Spas Guide web site was developed inhouse. Credit for the original design belongs to designer Nikila Beaton who immersed herself in the world of health spas in order to do a great job. She and Nadia Naidoo worked into many a long night. More recently, the web site 'look' was updated by Yasin Asari.
Nowadays the web site evolves on a continous basis and content is added to and updated daily.
The Booking office is managed by Mrs Khosi Younis. Enrique Arbizu is our Technical Director. Overall Director is Peter Mansfield. Overall, the Health Spas Guide employs a total of 28 staff.

There is no charge for such listings - in effect you get a free web site with high profile search engine listings. We do, however, charge your spa, not the guest, a modest fee for bookings made via the Health Spas Guide web site.
