The Planet Beach franchise has opened a new wellness centre in the state of Louisiana, with the facility offering guests the use of push-button beauty and health treatments.

Located in the town of Mandville, the new Planet Beach will feature equipment operated by guests without the need of a therapist or attendant present.
