Let’s be honest: workplace wellness isn’t just about fruit bowls in the breakroom or a monthly yoga class anymore. In today’s high-pressure, always-on world, real employee care means going beyond the basics. It means giving your team space to decompress, connect, and feel genuinely appreciated — and a company spa day is the perfect way to do it.
Enter: the Company Spa Day.
When the team from Digitlab, a digital agency based in Durban, were treated to Vhi Spa’s full Revitalize Treat - a head-to-toe experience designed to relax, rejuvenate, and re-energize — the results spoke volumes. From glowing skin to major mood shifts, this wasn’t just pampering. It was transformational.
And let’s be real: when employees feel genuinely cared for, they don’t just feel better — they perform better. Motivation improves, sick days go down, and the entire vibe of the workplace lifts.
What Is the 'Revitalize Treat'?
The Revitalize Treat is one of Vhi Spa’s most-loved packages, combining indulgence and efficacy into one powerful experience. It includes:
-
Body Massage to melt away muscle tension and stress (pressure level adjusted for the individual.)
-
Custom Facial tailored to individual skin needs
-
Scalp Massage and Foot Ritual for complete head-to-toe care
-
Use of calming spa spaces to wind down fully
In under 2.5 hours, it hits reset on body, mind, and mood — exactly what today’s teams need. And because it’s customisable, it works whether your staff are frontline workers, office-bound, or spending all day on their feet.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all wellness trend — it’s thoughtful care, delivered with purpose. There are so many beautifully created and highly affordable packages at Vhi Spa, and company teams could always find (or create their own) packages for the perfect retreat.
What the Team Had to Say:
“Our team had an incredible experience at Vhi Spa Gateway! We booked the Vhi Treat package — and it truly lived up to its name. I’ve had spa treatments at other places before, but Vhi has definitely been my favorite so far. The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were exceptional. Highly recommend!”

“Vhi Spa is a true hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the calming ambience and warm hospitality set the tone for an exceptional experience. The treatments are thoughtfully curated and performed by skilled therapists who genuinely care. I left feeling refreshed, glowing, and completely restored — it's affordable luxury at its finest. Highly recommend for anyone needing a mind-body reset.”
Lee-Ann Large
Digital Projects Manager
“On behalf of the Digitlab team, I want to thank you so very much for the amazing morning at VHI Gateway. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE TREAT!
From the beautiful décor and tranquil space, to the incredible staff, the finishing touches (post-treatment coffee/tea & cake, I mean hello! What a way to end. Yes please) and of course the outstanding treatments!! It wasn’t just the standard of the treatments themselves but the small things like pillows under our feet & head & constant care, making sure there was always maximum comfort. Most of us fell asleep at least once in the process 😉
The VHI Treatments package is such a great combination.
We are all so grateful to have fully experienced what Vhi Spa is all about and left feeling ridiculously relaxed and renewed. Please send our heartfelt appreciation to the team.”
Stacey Saunders
Account Manager
While at the spa I was extremely happy with the service over all but in particular, the facial was incredible. I have never had one before and my very first experience makes me want to keep going back for more!
They talked me through the whole process, were very attentive and thorough and my skin felt better than it has in years.”
Chloe Muil
Account Executive
I enjoyed every moment of the spa treatment! As a first timer I didn't know what to expect but the staff were very accommodating and made me feel comfortable. Definitely recommend them!"
Thomas Padi
Software Sales Executive
Absolutely amazing experience! The treatments were incredibly well done, and the staff communicated everything clearly and professionally. The tranquil music nearly put me to sleep—it was that relaxing. I walked out feeling like a completely new person. Highly recommended self care option.”
Cade Volker
Junior Web Administrator
It was with great excitement that our Digitlab team arrived at Gateway early on a Friday. We did not know what to expect, but were delighted to walk into the beautiful, calm, friendly spa. Only to find out we were all being completely spoiled with a full ‘Revitalize Treat’ package! Gently tailored toward each person’s specific needs. The body massage was amazing – I opted for the ‘Deep Tissue’ version as I have lots of knots in my shoulders, and the massage therapist was perfect. The facial was much-needed. Then, to go sit on (what felt like) a throne for my foot treatment, sipping coffee and nibbling on chocolate cake while having a natter with my colleagues about all topics, other than work 😊. It was bliss. I also noticed the absolute cutest ‘mini spa’ section for little ones to have mini spa treatments and high tea. My kids are all grown up, think I’ll have to borrow a friend’s little one to take. Adorable!”

These testimonials paint a clear picture: the benefits of a spa day extend far beyond the treatment room. They ripple out into the way people show up for their jobs, for their colleagues, and even for themselves.
Why a Company Spa Day Works (Better Than You Think)
You’ve heard of mental health days. This is that — elevated, enhanced, and surrounded by serenity.
Beyond the feel-good factor, here’s what a dedicated Company Spa Day can really offer:
-
Reduced stress and burnout: Especially in fast-paced industries, mental fatigue is real. A break like this isn’t frivolous — it’s foundational.
-
Better team morale: Shared experiences boost bonding. Relaxed people relate better. A massage does more than loosen shoulders — it softens tension between people too.
-
Improved mental clarity and focus: Post-spa, many employees report sharper thinking, better decision-making, and a new perspective on work challenges.
-
Increased loyalty and engagement: Showing your team they matter encourages them to invest emotionally in their work.
-
More energy, fewer sick days: Less stress means stronger immune function and faster recovery.
Company culture isn’t built in the boardroom. It’s built in moments like this — where care meets connection.
Let’s Talk ROI: Return on Indulgence
Think a spa day sounds too indulgent? Let’s reframe that. Consider the costs of employee disengagement:
-
Missed deadlines
-
Poor customer interactions
-
High turnover
-
Low morale
Now, weigh that against:
-
One afternoon of collective calm
-
A boost in company morale
-
Stronger team relationships
-
Improved wellbeing
Which investment sounds smarter?
Corporate wellness isn’t a tick-box anymore. It’s a strategic decision — and a well-planned spa day is one of the most effective, immediate ways to impact workplace culture.
Who Benefits Most from a Company Spa Day?
Let’s be honest — everyone benefits. But it’s particularly powerful for:
-
Customer-facing teams who manage emotional labor daily
-
Creative departments who need mental space to innovate
-
Newly-formed teams looking to bond
-
High-performing staff in need of recharge to prevent burnout
Even leadership can benefit — because when the team is energized and connected, results follow.
It’s not about pampering one group. It’s about restoring the collective. And that makes business sense.
