About SpaFinder
SpaFinder is the world’s largest spa marketing and media company. We promote well-being experiences through vertical search, online/offline publishing, reservation technology and gift programs.
Re-launched in May 2008, SpaFinder.com connects users to over 5,000 Spas worldwide, and with the new patent-pending, exclusive functionality of SpaBooker, users are able to book their spa appointments online. In Fall 2008, Luxury SpaFinder Magazine becomes SpaFinder Lifestyle, providing SpaFinder.com visitors with the experiential spa experience to compliment the vertical spa search. SpaFinder is also publisher of Global SpaFinder: The Definitive Yearly Worldwide Spa Directory, and is the largest wholesaler and retailer of spa gift certificates (SpaFinder Gift Certificates/Gift Cards) driving incremental business to spas worldwide. International sites include France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and the UK.
As the industry leader, SpaFinder is the organizer and sponsor of events such as the Global Spa Summit, Aspen Spa Day, and the Spa Experience in New York. SpaFinder’s President, Susie Ellis, is the industry’s "voice of spa" and is in great demand as a speaker and writer on all spa-oriented topics.
The New York Times cited the founding of SpaFinder as a milestone in the growth of the worldwide spa industry, and both Forbes.com and USA Today have chosen Spafinder.com as the best website for spa travel.
