Where they differ

Four reasons luxury owners choose Sansha

A hotel spa specialist, not a consumer chain

Meghavi spreads its business across airport lounges, standalone day spas and hotel spas. Sansha focuses entirely on spas inside hotels and resorts, so every system, from staffing to menus to reporting, is built around how a hotel actually runs.

Built for luxury properties

Meghavi's hotel spas range from three- to five-star, including midscale brands such as Lemon Tree and Holiday Inn. Sansha designs for four- and five-star and heritage hotels, with bespoke concepts and signature rituals that match the property's price point.

Paid on your results

Under Sansha's managed model, we share revenue with the owner, so our income grows only when your spa's does. Meghavi does not publish its commercial terms with hotels, so ask for them in writing and compare like for like.

Three decades of track record

Sansha has operated hotel spas since 1994 and has earned 100+ industry awards. Meghavi was founded in 2014 and has grown quickly, particularly in airports. Both run their own therapist academies.
