Where they differ

Four reasons luxury owners choose Sansha

A luxury name on your spa door

Both companies run spas under their own name, so the real question is which name you want your guests to see. Sansha Spas is a luxury brand built over 30 years in four- and five-star and heritage hotels, with 100+ industry awards behind it. Tattva is a broad network brand spanning business hotels and standalone day spas.

Built for your property, not a network

Tattva applies standardised service protocols across a wide network of formats, from compact business-hotel spas to standalone day spas. Sansha builds a bespoke concept and signature rituals for each luxury or heritage property, so the spa feels like part of the hotel rather than a branch of a chain.

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. Tattva 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, through every cycle the Indian hotel industry has seen, and has earned 100+ industry awards along the way. Tattva has grown quickly over a little more than a decade. Both run their own therapist academies.
