Mandara Spa, a division of global spa provider Steiner Leisure, is celebrating 20 years in business this year with special offers, seminars, classes, a charitable programme and a world tour anchored by a Balinese healer.

Mandara has grown from its first spa opening in Bali in 1996 to a global spa brand with its footprint in four continents, 22 cities and two cruise ships.

President and COO of Mandara Spa Asia Jeff Matthews has been an integral part of the brand since its inception.

“Celebrations are a wellspring of life and a benchmark of longevity,” said Matthews. “Turning 20, the Mandara Spa brand is youthful, accomplished and has staying power. Twenty has never looked better on any spa brand.

Thomas Gottlieb, founder of Mandara Spa, was at the forefront of launching the brand before Steiner acquired it 14 years ago.

“This celebration is about a dream and a dream team,” said Gottlieb. “A spa brand conceived in a dining room in Batu Jimbar and a global spa industry leader that nurtured it to the phenomenal concept it is today. The dream is now being celebrated. May Mandara Spa continue on its journey.”

As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations, Mandara will be launching a world tour with Balinese healer Guru Made Sumantra, who will visit six countries in four months to introduce energy and yoga healing, and to "bring Bali and Balinese healing to the world."

The schedule includes stops in Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, London and the US.
