Spa website design comes down to one question: can a visitor who has never been to your spa feel the place, understand what is on offer and book a visit in a few taps, on a phone as easily as on a laptop? These seven live spa website examples answer it in seven ways, from an outdoor lake pool in the French Alps to a geothermal lagoon in Iceland and thermal waters in Budapest and Tuscany.
Each is shown the way a visitor sees it, with the home page scrolling on a desktop screen and on a phone. One is a project of Hotel Web Design, the spa of the Neige & Roc hotel in Morzine-Avoriaz. The other six are sites we did not build: each is the venue’s own website, opened in October 2026 and picked for how it shows the water, the treatments and the booking step. Where a site shows prices, they are blurred in the captures, because they change. Nothing is ranked: what matters is what you can borrow for your own spa or hotel spa. After the examples you will find a phone test of the seven first screens, the ways guests book, how to choose between a spa site of its own and a page on the hotel site, and a checklist for phone and desktop.
What a spa website has to do
A spa sells something nobody can try in advance: warmth, silence, water. The site has to make that tangible, then get out of the way of the booking. Put side by side, the seven sites keep doing the same eight things.
- Show the place, and the water, on the first screen. A visitor decides on a feeling. The Neige & Roc spa opens on its outdoor lake pool with the hotel chalet behind it, Sky Lagoon on a full-width video of the lagoon, Terme di Saturnia on a large image of its thermal water with a play button, and Széchenyi on its swimming pools.
- Make the next step obvious. On a desktop screen, Scandinave Spa, Sky Lagoon, Terme di Saturnia, Les Fermes de Marie and the Boscolo spa page put a Book button in the header. Széchenyi lists Online tickets first in its menu and repeats it on its opening photo, and the Neige & Roc spa puts Book the SPA on its photo.
- Give the visit a name. Sky Lagoon sells two packages, Sér and Saman, each with a checklist of what it includes and a Compare Sky Lagoon Passes link on its card. Széchenyi and Terme di Saturnia put their current offers on the home page.
- State the rules and the hours before the booking. Széchenyi pins its minimum age in a banner and prints a table of opening hours on the home page. The Boscolo spa page gives the hours of the spa area, the treatments, the pool and the fitness center under its title. Sky Lagoon answers age limits and cancellation in an FAQ on its home page.
- Sell gifts online. Several of the sites give gifts a place of their own. The Neige & Roc spa has Gift vouchers in its menu, Scandinave Spa has a Gift cards entry, Terme di Saturnia puts Gifts next to Book in a bar under its phone header, and the Boscolo page adds a gift button beside Book.
- Give each purchase its own button. Les Fermes de Marie gives a room, a chalet, a table and a treatment each their own Book button. The Boscolo booking menu splits room, table, spa and gift voucher. A hotel guest and a visitor who only wants the spa are not looking for the same thing.
- Speak the visitors’ languages. Sky Lagoon offers English and Icelandic and lets visitors switch currency in the header. Széchenyi is in Hungarian and English, Scandinave Spa in English and French, and Terme di Saturnia in four languages.
- Work on a phone. Google indexes and ranks the mobile version of a page, so a spa website that is only comfortable on a laptop is judged on its weaker version. The checklist below goes through it.
7 spa website examples, analyzed
Each card shows the home page on a desktop screen and on a phone, what we noticed on the live site in October 2026, and what to take from it. The link Our project (in French) opens the portfolio page of the Neige & Roc spa.
Neige & Roc Spa
Hotel spa with a site of its own · Morzine-Avoriaz, France
The spa of the Neige & Roc hotel in Morzine-Avoriaz has a website of its own, with its own name and design, in English and French. We built it in 2023. The home page opens on the outdoor lake pool with the hotel chalet behind it and a Book the SPA button, under the title Snow & Rock Spa in Morzine-Avoriaz. The menu covers the sauna and hammam, the pool, care, massage, gift vouchers, the beauty shop, contact and reservation.
The page follows the seasons. In summer it shows the heated outdoor lake pool, an indoor hydrotherapy bath, a sauna and treatment rooms; in winter, Storvatt, a Swedish bath heated with a wood fire, and an outdoor sauna. The reservation page is a six-step flow: service, time, extra services, details, payment and confirmation. One winter offer, the three-hour Roc offer, is marked as bookable by phone only.
Key takeaways
- The reservation is a six-step flow with online payment, so a guest can book most treatments at any hour without writing to anyone.
- The page is organized by season, so a visitor sees at once what is open for them in summer or in winter.

Scandinave Spa
Thermal spa brand with four locations · Canada
A Canadian brand with four thermal spa destinations: Mont-Tremblant, the group’s first spa and its largest, at over 72,000 square feet; Vieux-Montréal, currently its only urban spa and a fully indoor one; Blue Mountain; and Whistler. The home page opens on the line Explore our iconic thermal spa destinations, and the site states that the spas are open 365 days a year. A press release dated October 6, 2026 says the Old Montreal spa is in the hands of new owners; the home page still listed it when we read it.
The Book Now button in the header first asks for a location, then leads to an online booking store. Gift cards have their own menu entry. A block on thermal therapy explains the experience in three ideas, extreme temperatures, silence and a digital detox, and a news section closes the page.
Key takeaways
- Asking for the location first suits a brand with several sites: the visitor books the right place from the first click.
- The thermal therapy block explains what the visit feels like in a few short ideas, before the booking.

Sky Lagoon
Geothermal lagoon · Reykjavik area, Iceland
A geothermal lagoon near Reykjavik. The home page opens on a full-width video of the lagoon under the line Where the Sea Meets the Sky. The header holds a search, an English and Icelandic switch, a currency switch and a Book Now button.
Two packages are laid out as cards with a checklist of what each includes: Sér, the premium one with private changing facilities, and Saman, the classic one. A Compare Sky Lagoon Passes link helps with the choice, a Book with Transfer option adds a shuttle ride that costs a little extra and is run by Reykjavik Excursions, and a Date Night is offered for two. The seven-step Skjól Ritual is described step by step, and an FAQ on the page answers questions on the age limit, cancellation with 24 hours’ notice and pre-booking.
Key takeaways
- Two named packages, each with a checklist of what it includes, let visitors compare in seconds.
- The FAQ on the home page answers the age and cancellation questions before the guest reaches the booking.

Széchenyi Thermal Bath
Thermal bath with an online ticket shop · Budapest, Hungary
A thermal bath in Budapest. A banner at the top says the bath cannot be visited under the age of 14. The home page opens on the baths under the title Széchenyi Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool, with an Online tickets button on the opening photo.
A row of service tiles that scrolls sideways follows, from the pools and saunas to Dayspalm, classic massages, sauna sessions and Thalasso Therapy, then the restaurant, the bar and Beerspa. Current offers, among them Budapest Evening Bathing, sit on the home page, and a band titled Buy your ticket online invites visitors to skip the queue. The opening hours are printed in a table on the home page. The site is in Hungarian and English, and the ticket shop runs on a separate subdomain.
Key takeaways
- The age rule sits in a banner above the opening photo, before the visitor reaches the ticket button.
- The opening hours sit in a table on the home page, so a visitor does not have to click through to find them.

Terme di Saturnia
Thermal resort · Tuscany, Italy
A five-star thermal resort in Tuscany, less than two hours from Rome. The home page opens on a large image of the thermal water with a play button; just below it, the headline Terme di Saturnia Natural Destination is followed by the line A haven for regeneration and relaxation.
On a wide desktop screen, Book and Gifts sit next to each other in the header, and on a phone in a bar just under it. The page then moves through Rooms & Suites, a slider of resort offers and the culinary journey. The day spa, the wellness programs and the gifts each have a separate site of their own. The site is in English, Italian, German and Russian.
Key takeaways
- A large property stays readable when the home page keeps to a few blocks: rooms, offers, food.
- Book and Gifts side by side in the header of a wide screen, and in a bar on the phone, keep the two main actions within reach.

A five-star hotel in Megève whose home page presents the spa, La Ferme de Beauté, as one section among the others, with a pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a steam room and treatments made with mountain plants. The opening line sets the property up as a destination in itself, three season icons let visitors pick summer, autumn or winter, and the header carries Book and Call buttons.
Each product has its own Book button: a room, a chalet, a table and a treatment. On a phone, a bar at the bottom of the screen offers Call us and Book. The home page also presents wellness programs, and the site is in French, English, Italian and Russian.
Key takeaways
- A spa can live inside a hotel home page, as one section with its own name and its own Book button.
- A Call us and Book bar at the bottom of the phone screen keeps both actions within thumb reach.

Boscolo Spa Lyon
Hotel spa page · Lyon, France
The spa has a page of its own on the Boscolo hotel website in Lyon, titled Spa Boscolo Lyon - Roman Baths & Wellness. The hours of the spa area, the treatments, the pool and the fitness center are printed under the title, and the page presents the ESPA treatments.
The Book menu splits into room, table, spa and gift voucher, each leading to its own booking system, and on a phone it stays fixed to the bottom of the screen. The page repeats a Book button and adds a gift button, which is labeled in French on the English page. An FAQ answers common questions, and the site is in English, French and Italian.
Key takeaways
- One page for the spa, with the hours first, answers the question most visitors arrive with.

The seven spa websites at a glance
A spa inside a hotel, a thermal bath that sells tickets, a brand with four locations: the structure of the site changes, the principle does not. The Booking column shows what happens when a guest decides to book.
| Website | Location | Type | Booking | Languages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neige & Roc Spa | Morzine-Avoriaz, Haute-Savoie (France) | Hotel spa with its own site | Online treatment booking in six steps, with payment | English, French |
| Scandinave Spa | Mont-Tremblant, Quebec (Canada) and three other locations | Thermal spa brand, four destinations | Book Now menu by location, then an online booking store | English, French |
| Sky Lagoon | Reykjavik area (Iceland) | Geothermal lagoon | Packages booked online, with a transfer option | English, Icelandic |
| Széchenyi Thermal Bath | Budapest (Hungary) | Thermal bath | Online tickets, in a shop on a separate subdomain | Hungarian, English |
| Terme di Saturnia | Saturnia, Tuscany (Italy) | Five-star thermal resort | Separate booking for rooms, day spa, programs and gifts | English, Italian, German, Russian |

Spa website on a phone: the first screen of each example
The first screen is what a visitor sees before any scrolling. We opened each home page in a browser window 390 pixels wide, a common phone width, in October 2026, and noted whether a way to book was already in view.
| Spa website | Way to book in view | Also in view |
|---|---|---|
| Neige & Roc Spa | Yes: Book the SPA, on the opening photo | The menu opens from an icon in the corner. |
| Scandinave Spa | Yes: Book Now, in the header | The line Explore our iconic thermal spa destinations. |
| Sky Lagoon | No: Book Now is further down the page | The line Where the Sea Meets the Sky over a large photo. In our test the page was wider than the screen, so the menu icon was cut off. |
| Széchenyi Thermal Bath | Yes: Online tickets, under the title | The age notice, in a banner above the photo, and a bar at the bottom with Online tickets and Opening hours. |
| Terme di Saturnia | Yes: Book and Gifts, in a bar under the header | A video with a play button. |
| Les Fermes de Marie | Yes: Call us and Book, in a bar at the bottom of the screen | The line More than a Hotel, a Destination and three season icons. |
| Boscolo Spa Lyon | Yes: Book, in a bar at the bottom of the screen, which opens Room, Table, Spa and Gift voucher | A header with the menu, the hotel selector, the language and a map pin, then the title of the spa page. |
Six of the seven put a way to book or to call in view before any scrolling, and they do it in three ways: a button on the opening photo, a button in the header, or a bar under the header or at the bottom of the screen. A visitor on a phone should never have to hunt for it.
Which example is closest to your spa?
- A hotel spa with a website of its own. The Neige & Roc spa has its own name, design and web address, a reservation flow and a gift voucher entry, and says in its opening lines that it sits within the hotel.
- A spa presented inside the hotel website. Les Fermes de Marie gives the spa a section on the home page, and the Boscolo spa page gives it one full page with its hours and its booking buttons.
- A thermal bath or lagoon that sells tickets and packages. Sky Lagoon and Széchenyi put the ticket first and the information a visitor needs around it.
- One brand, several locations. Scandinave Spa asks the visitor to pick a destination first, then books per location.
- A luxury spa resort with many things to sell. Terme di Saturnia splits rooms, offers, the day spa and gifts, and shows how a large property stays readable.
Spa web design: how guests book
After the photos, the biggest design choice is the road from “I would love that” to “it is booked”. The seven sites use four of them.
Book treatments on the site
The Neige & Roc spa has a reservation page built as a six-step flow: service, time slot, extra services, guest details, payment, confirmation. A guest can book most treatments at any hour without writing to anyone, which suits a visitor in another time zone. Sky Lagoon also sells its packages online: a Book Now button on each package card leads to a booking page.
Buy a ticket
Széchenyi sells admission in an online ticket shop, reached from a button on the opening photo and from a band further down that invites visitors to skip the queue. Scandinave Spa lets the visitor choose the location in its Book Now menu before reaching an online booking page, so the button first asks where.
Use a separate system for each thing to book
Les Fermes de Marie and the Boscolo spa page hand each product to a different system: room, chalet, table, treatment and gift voucher. Terme di Saturnia goes one step further, with separate sites for the day spa, the wellness programs and the gifts. The advantage is that each system does its own job well. The cost is that the guest changes site at the last step, so the booking page should carry the same name, photos and language as the page that sent the guest there.
Pick up the phone
Les Fermes de Marie keeps a Call button in the header, and on a phone a bar with Call us and Book at the bottom of the screen. On the Neige & Roc reservation page, one winter offer, the three-hour Roc offer, is marked as bookable by phone only. A phone number that is easy to find suits guests who want to ask a question before paying.
Booky, for the rooms of a hotel spa
On the accommodation side of a hotel spa, the booking engine to look at is Booky, built by Hotel Web Design. Bookings taken with Booky carry no commission, and it handles seasonal rates, stay-length rules, online payment with a deposit and a balance, and scheduled messages before and after arrival. Treatments, tickets and day-spa slots are a different kind of booking: they depend on the agenda of therapists and rooms, so they usually run on a system built for that, like the separate systems described above. The job of the website is to put the right button in front of each guest and to look like the same place at every step.
Google Hotels, with a caveat
Hotel Web Design is listed in the official Google Hotels connectivity partner directory. Google Hotels is about the rooms of a hotel, not about treatments or tickets, so it only matters to a spa that is part of a hotel.
A spa website of its own, or a page on the hotel site?
The seven examples show both choices, and neither is better in every case.
- A separate website, like the Neige & Roc spa, gives the spa its own name, look and message, which suits a spa that welcomes visitors from outside the hotel. It also means two sites to keep up to date, and a hotel guest has to move from one to the other.
- A page or a section on the hotel site, like Les Fermes de Marie and the Boscolo spa page, keeps one design and one place to maintain, and a guest booking a room sees the spa without leaving. The spa has to live within the hotel’s look, and an outside visitor has to find it from a hotel home page.
Whichever you choose, give the spa its own title, its own hours and its own Book button, so that a search for the spa lands on a page that is about the spa.
Spa website checklist: phone and desktop
On a phone
- The Book button is visible without scrolling. Scandinave Spa keeps Book Now in the corner of its header, Széchenyi puts Online tickets in the middle of its opening photo, the Neige & Roc spa does the same with Book the SPA, Terme di Saturnia shows Book and Gifts in a bar under its header, and Les Fermes de Marie and the Boscolo spa page keep a bar at the bottom of the screen. Sky Lagoon is the exception among the seven: its Book Now button sits further down the page.
- Opening hours and age rules can be read without zooming. Széchenyi keeps its age notice in a banner at the top of the phone screen.
- Text and buttons are large enough to tap, and the page never scrolls sideways.
- You have run the booking path yourself, from the first screen to the confirmation, on a real phone.
On a desktop screen
- The opening photo is large and carries one clear action. Széchenyi and the Neige & Roc spa put a single button on it, while Scandinave Spa and Sky Lagoon keep Book Now in the header.
- The services appear as tiles or short sections right below the opening photo, as Széchenyi does with a row of tiles for its pools, saunas, Dayspalm, classic massages and Thalasso Therapy, and Scandinave Spa does with its four destinations.
- Photos show the water, the treatment rooms and the relaxation areas, one picture each, not a single collage.
On both
- The phone and the desktop versions hold the same content. Google uses the mobile version to index and rank, so text, headings and image descriptions that exist only on the desktop version do not count.
- The pages are fast. The Core Web Vitals targets are a largest contentful paint within 2.5 seconds, an interaction to next paint of 200 milliseconds or less and a layout shift of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of visits and reported for mobile and desktop separately.
- Every photo has a description and fixed dimensions, so the text does not jump when it loads.
- Minimum age, cancellation terms, what to bring and what is included are written before the booking starts.
- Gift vouchers have their own entry in the menu, and the language switch stays in the header.
Other accommodation websites
A hotel spa is often a part of a larger property. For the same exercise on other kinds of lodging, see our guides to designing a hotel, bed and breakfast websites, holiday cottage websites, vacation rental websites and villa websites. The French page Création de site pour spa et hôtel spa explains how we build such a site.
Questions about spa websites
What should a spa website include?
The water and the rooms in large photos, the list of treatments and facilities, the opening hours, the rules (minimum age, what to bring, cancellation), a clear Book button, gift vouchers, the languages of your visitors and a phone number for questions. The seven examples above each cover most of these in a different way.
How do guests book a spa online?
In one of four ways: treatments booked on the site in a short flow, as at the Neige & Roc spa; a ticket bought in an online shop, as at Széchenyi; a separate booking system for each product, as at Les Fermes de Marie and the Boscolo spa page; or a phone call. Choose the one that matches how your spa sells: by the hour, by the visit or by the package.
Should a hotel spa have its own website or a page on the hotel site?
A separate website gives the spa its own name and message, which suits a spa open to visitors from outside the hotel, but it means two sites to keep up to date. A page or a section on the hotel site keeps one design and one place to maintain. Whichever you choose, give the spa its own title, hours and Book button.
Can a spa sell gift vouchers online?
Yes, and the examples show how: a Gift vouchers entry in the menu at the Neige & Roc spa, Gift cards at Scandinave Spa, a Gifts link next to Book at Terme di Saturnia and a voucher entry in the Boscolo booking menu. Give the gift its own entry so that it does not get lost among the treatments.
Where can I find the best spa websites for inspiration?
Start with the seven in this article: one project of ours and six sites we did not build, from five countries, each with a different booking route. Nothing is ranked. Open them on a phone as well, and judge each on four points: how fast you feel the place, how easy it is to book, how clear the rules and hours are, and how well the site works on a small screen.
What photos does a spa website need?
One picture each for the water, the treatment rooms, the relaxation areas and the surroundings, taken in good light and without a crowd, in sizes that load fast on a phone. Give every photo a description and fixed dimensions so the page does not jump while it loads.
How should a spa website work on a phone?
The first screen should already show a way to book or to call: six of the seven examples above do, with a button on the opening photo, a button in the header, or a bar under the header or at the bottom of the screen. Opening hours and age rules should be readable without zooming, buttons large enough to tap, and the page should never scroll sideways.
