Your invitation to participate in the the official SA Spa Association Spa Index 2014
– the ultimate showcase of the best spas and spa brands in Africa
This perfect consumer reference, distributed in conjunction with the November Issue of Longevity Magazine, will support all South African Spas and ensure that the consumer enjoys a spa experience, which not only meets international standards but also exceeds clients’ spa expectations in true South African Style.
Longevity Magazine has been published in South Africa for 20 years and is unique in its anti-aging, health and wellness focus. It’s published locally, but available internationally in magazine print format, digital format and content is also available on www.longevitymag.co.za. The brand focuses on a market of consumers who are concerned about their health as they age and want to ensure they are empowered to understand and manage this process, to live a healthier and ideally longer, life. 
In complement, spas offer a precious refuge from a frenzied lifestyle. A time and place to relax and disconnect from the world as you recharge your mind, body and spirit, and an opportunity to bring your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves back into alignment.
In answering the above questions, we have seen a tremendous growth in the spa industry, although spa therapies themselves date back to ancient times, the modern spa with a variety of massages, facials, hydrotherapies, spa cuisine and holistic embracement in a variety of spa packages is quite unique.
The SA Spa Association endevours to grow a trustworthy industry and build confidence in spa therapies, through increased knowledge both for the consumer and the spas themselves. The launch of the SA Spa Association Spa Index in 2010, an annual publication, has given the opportunity to communicate directly with the consumer, to not only showcase our magnificent spas and spa brands, but provide knowledge about the spa therapies, spa protocols and Spa Association itself.
