George V Restauration – the group behind the international buddha-bar chain, and its spin-off brand, buddha-bar spa – has revealed further details about the brand extension of its new day spa concept called Buddhattitude.
Two standalone Buddhattitude spas will open in the next 12 months in the Middle East and Africa. The first in Doha, Qatar, is on schedule to open in early 2009 and the second in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal, will debut in May 2009. Both will be privately owned.
In Doha, the 21,527sq ft (2,000sq m) spa will be located in the mixed-use Beverly Hills Towers building. In Dakar, the 16,145sq ft (1,500sq m) Buddhattitude will be situated in a shopping mall on the city’s corniche area and will be the first to offer a buddha-café.
Further Buddhattitude spas are also planned for Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in 2010 and Egypt in December 2012.
The George V group is also developing a nail bar concept. Details: buddha-bar.com
