Training and recruitment company Spa Connectors is working on the spa concept for the upcoming 297-bedroom Movenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bay in Bali.
Kathryn Moore, founder and managing director for Spa Connectors, told Spa Opportunities that she is working on the concept development, signature treatment creation, menu development, recruitment, private label product development and on-property training.
“It’s a great gig for us and we are very excited,” she said.
The spa is due to open in March, 2017, and will include seven treatment rooms, a blend bar, relax lounge, sauna and steam facilities, and will feature Balinese massages and Indonesian healing rituals.
A fitness centre and tropical yoga garden round out the wellness offerings.
Moore said her company – which was founded last year to help deal with staffing needs – is doing quite a few pre-openings, which include menu development and signature treatment design, and then doing recruitment and training on property. She is also getting into more concept development, and has quite a few in the pipeline.
But Moore said that Spa Connectors' core business remains training and recruitment, and she is rolling out 10 more training centers next year, because the demand for staff is so high.
