Be Part of History

This is your opportunity to showcase your spa in the inaugural national spa & wellness directory; a premium bi-annual publication celebrating the country's most exceptional spas, retreats, and wellness destinations.

The Spa Portfolio will be the go-to consumer and industry reference, bridging travellers, corporates, and wellness seekers with credible, quality-assured spa brands across South Africa.

Why You Should Be Included

There will never be another "first edition."
The spas that secure their space now become part of South African spa history — the Founding 40 featured in the debut issue.

Gain national and international exposure through Les Nouvelles Esthétiques, SA Tourism, Tourism Update, and IOL Lifestyle

Be recognised as a leading wellness destination and a trusted spa endorsed by the SA Spa Association

Position your brand for the upcoming high-season influx of local and international travellers

Only 15 spaces remain, and once layout closes — it closes permanently.

Remaining Spots Available: 3/15

Being part of the Founding 40 means your brand will enjoy enduring recognition as one of the pioneers that helped define the South African spa industry's national showcase.

Once it's printed — this opportunity won't come again until the next edition in 2026 (at higher rates).

Join South Africa's spa elite in four easy steps

Step 1: Complete the form below — select your preferred feature option and share your basic spa details. Once submitted, a member of our editorial team will contact you personally to answer any questions and finalise arrangements.

Step 2: Confirm your booking with full payment to reserve your place among the Founding 40. This guarantees your inclusion in the inaugural issue.

Step 3: Send us your spa images, logo, and short description — our design team will create your listing using our beautifully curated template.
If you'd like full creative control and prefer to submit your own professionally designed advert rather than use our listing template, you can choose one of the advertisement options (R6 000 for a full-page ad or R10 000 for a double-page ad) instead.

Step 4: Approve your proof and celebrate your feature — your spa will appear in Spa Portfolio, the definitive guide to South Africa's leading wellness destinations.
