“I attended the launch of Spa Orient and was so impressed, not only with the Spa itself, but also with the management of the launch event, that I immediately made an appointment for the following weekend for a massage and facial.

I lived in Bangkok for just over two years in the early 1980’s and Thai massage was a way of life for me, and one that I have sadly missed ever since.  You can’t imagine how delighted I was to find this incredibly authentic experience right in my own backyard.  From the moment I walked through the door, I was transported to a space whispering total luxury and complete peace.  I have since returned and will keep doing so whenever I need to revive and cleanse my spirit.”

“Spa Orient, one of Australia’s genuine luxury Thai day spas is an industry leader in the delivery of authentic Thai rituals and natural therapies. It is an innovative and exciting Australian owned business which, according to anecdotal evidence, has set a new benchmark across the Australian day spa community. Spa Orient is not based on the replication of any existing business models rather presents a fresh, new concept that has been created with an authentic and exotic flavour.

During my travels across the world, I have visited many Day Spas and I have not found one which surpasses the treatments and services provided by Spa Orient.  This unique offering is quickly becoming a destination spa and research indicates that nearly 12% of Australians now travel for a ‘Wellbeing’ experience.

The motivation behind the creation of Spa Orient comes directly from observing how the effects of poor work and life balance, the cost of physical and emotional stress in the workplace and the associated impacts at the business bottomline have become serious issues for executives and HR managers.

Additionally, as this exceptional Day Spa’s philosophy is one of wellness based on prevention instead of rehabilitation, it supports our master plan, which includes an innovative world-class Health City.

Spa Orient has been developed as a business with a unique selling proposition that supports all people in their efforts to retreat, relax and recharge”.

“The Ipswich District is experiencing unprecedented growth in its residential, commercial and tourism industries.  In August 2007 I was honoured to officially open ‘Spa Orient’, which is located in a boutique shopping precinct in Springfield Lakes.  It clearly demonstrates the confidence that businesses have in the area by investing in the future of this great City.

In support of a healthy demand for well-being experiences, the Ipswich region is focused on achieving competitive advantage in this new and exciting tourism sector. ‘Spa Orient’ is one of many features within our campaign which targets the five star domestic and international traveller.  Our promotional strategy includes the Ipswich Visitors guide, which is produced by the Ipswich City Council and ‘Spa Orient’ provides the ‘hero shot’ – spearheading the Romance and Indulgence section of this publication.

Together our research indicates that nearly 12 percent of Australians from the Eastern Seaboard have travelled for a ‘wellbeing’ experience in the last five years and the majority of these escapes were taken inside Australia.   I am proud to say that ‘Spa Orient’ delivers unique and exotic wellbeing experiences for all people from all walks of life.

I recommend Spa Orient as a luxury destination specialising in genuine opportunities to retreat, relax and recharge and look forward to their continued success.”
