Protect your investments and maximise your profit with bbspa_Group

We work with our partners to conceptualise, design and build spa and wellness facilities that captivate customers

bbspa_Group is a leading international spa consultancy based in Italy, renowned for its unique character and organic design approach. Its goal is to optimise spa operations without neglecting attention to detail and personal interpretation of each project

“We work with entrepreneurs, investors, builders and architects to conceptualise, design and build spa and wellness facilities that will captivate customers, retain them and, at the same time, ensure a profitable business for those who open or manage the destination,” explained Régis Boudon-Doris, bbspa_Group founder and CEO.

In 2019, the group expanded its reach and joined forces with European spa industry leader the Snow Group, which manages over 60 spas across the continent. The Snow group is comprised of Deep Nature, Cinq Mondes and Algotherm and is owned by Deep Nature's original shareholders Groupe Bateur.

Out of the collaboration, a new management company called Snow Group Italia was born.

Boudon-Doris says the collaboration enables the company to blend “the best of Italian design with French art de vivre to deliver authentic and successful projects”.

The team’s latest architectural innovation is Spacubes®, a new turnkey business model designed specifically for those who want to invest in the wellness industry.

Inspired by modular architecture, the structure allows for the construction of adjustable, turnkey, prefabricated spas that can be adapted to different building spaces, industrialised and replicated in multiple locations or customised for different target audiences.

bbspa_Group describes Spacubes® as an architectural innovation which it’s patented in partnership with the international architectural firm D/DOCK.

Another recent R&D innovation from the company is its 1OO%YOU antiviral spa uniform range.

“It represents a revolution in the concept of 'professional uniforms',” added Boudon-Doris, “for the first time we’re offering spa uniforms made of 100 per cent polypropylene, guaranteeing hygiene, comfort and a distinctive design.”

The chic range is blended out of a natural yarn called polypropylene which creates a light synthetic material that is antibacterial, waterproof and can easily be disposed of in plastic waste once no longer of use.

Designed by stylist Christine Vignoli, the collection is available in six sizes in various colours for both men and women. All garments are officially certified as PPE.
