The Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau organises the two-month-long promotional initiative
38 spas are taking part this year
The City of Miami Beach offers reduced parking rates to encourage visitors to take advantage of the Spa Months promotion
In addition to boosting business, feedback suggests guests tip generously during the promotion period
Spas participating in the Miami Spa Months campaign are securing new clients and increasing bookings, according to the programme’s organisers, The Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB).
The annual programme, which runs between 1 July and 31 August, invites locals and visitors to experience spa treatments at some of the top spas in Miami, US, with a minimum of 40 per cent off the standard prices.
Early data suggests participating spas see a 30-50 per cent increase in bookings during the two months, compared to slower summer months. Thousands of treatments are performed each year.
Each year, more than 30 spas take part and this year 38 signed up to be a part of the promotion.
Since 2008, hotel spas, day spas and medi-spas have used the promotion to offer exclusive access to limited-time treatments. The spas create their spa menus in collaboration with GMCVB to ensure consistency and value.
There are three tiers of treatments. Tier one therapies are priced at US$109 (€93, £80) tier two treatments cost US$159 (€136, £117) and tier three is for treatments costing US$199 (€171, £147).
Examples include:
• Kimpton Epic Hotel’s Privai Spa in Downtown Miami offers a Babor lifting anti-ageing and brightening facial at the tier one price for 50 minutes.
• The Palms Aveda Spa in Miami Beach offers an intense hydrating facial and eye treatment with LED therapy (lasting 50 minutes) and resort access – for the tier two price.
• At MySpa at InterContinental Miami in Downtown Miami guests can experience a 75-minute treatment that involves a Dennis Gross vitamin C facial, LED light therapy and gua sha face massage for the tier three price.
A spokesperson for GMCVB told
Spa Business, “Many treatments during the programme are valued between US$180 (€154, £133) and US$300+ (€257+, £221+), with guests paying discounted rates. This tiered pricing allows for both foundational treatments and more immersive, high-end experiences.”
“Six spas also offered signature spa experiences exclusive to Miami Spa Months this year. These are one-of-a-kind treatments that aren’t available at other times of year,” they added.
InsightsNow in its 18th year, the GMCVB has shared insights with
Spa Business regarding the success of the scheme. GMCVB is an independent not-for-profit organisation that markets the Greater Miami and Miami Beach area.
“Spa Months supports the local economy during Miami’s low tourism season, drawing both locals and off-season visitors to luxury properties and wellness businesses,” they said.
As part of its marketing efforts, the City of Miami Beach offers reduced parking rates to encourage visitors to take advantage of the promotion.
GMCVB said, “In the programme’s early years, the most popular services were foundational offerings, such as Swedish massages, deep-cleansing facials and soothing body scrubs – all offered at a flat rate of US$99 (€85, £73). But over time the offerings have evolved to reflect the latest in wellness trends.”
The most in-demand treatments include:
• Gua sha and lymphatic drainage facials
• LED light therapy and non-surgical facelifts
• Chakra-aligning energy work and crystal healing
• IV therapy wellness add-ons
• Full-day access to hydrotherapy circuits and infrared saunas
Participating spas report that consumers who discover the spas during the promotion return for additional services. “The programme is seen as a strong new client acquisition tool for spas,” said GMCVB.
Feedback from the spas also suggests guests often tip generously during the promotion period, especially when they perceive high value.
They also frequently add enhancements or upgrades, such as aromatherapy or longer treatments.
Many are also open to trying new or unfamiliar wellness treatments during this period, which spas represents an opportunity for spas to showcase speciality services.
