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.

The brand has pioneered the use of fully-automated spa offerings, with Planet Beach services including massages, tanning and beauty treatments, using machines operated by guests in their own private rooms.

“Planet Beach is proud to have its roots in the vibrant and spirited state of Louisiana,” said Stephen Smith, CEO & Founder of Planet Beach.

“Our new spa in Mandeville is dedicated to bringing the absolute highest quality of service and most relaxing experience possible to the people of this strong community.”

Current wellness services provided by Planet Beach include over six types of massages, three types of facials, hydration treatments, teeth whitening, guided meditation, oxygen therapy, weight management treatments and sunless tans.
