The GCC Franchise Model
Proven wellness systems for the Gulf market
The GCC's wellness franchise gap is structural: the region has world-class hospitality infrastructure, ultra-high consumer spending power, and a government-driven wellness agenda — but relatively few systematised, internationally credible spa franchise brands operating across multiple GCC countries. I Feel Spa International's GCC franchise programme is built on 25 years of local market knowledge and an established presence across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.
GCC franchise partners receive the full benefit of our regional regulatory expertise: from MOHAP and DCD licensing in the UAE to SEHA compliance in Abu Dhabi, MOH requirements in Saudi Arabia, and MOH approvals in Qatar and Kuwait. Our team navigates the GCC's complex and fast-changing regulatory environment on behalf of franchisees — allowing operators to focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences.
