The White Lotus Spa
A modern digital experience
for a premium spa destination
The Challenge
Despite strong demand and a premium in-spa experience, the business faced three key barriers:
- No online sales or bookings: all transactions relied on manual processes.
- A website that did not reflect the quality of service and the spa. An outdated look, no CMS, and no clear path or measurement to conversions.
- Admin pressure on the team as they relied on phone enquiries, manual voucher creation, and inconsistent booking information.
The challenge was to create a modern digital platform that elevated the brand, reduced workload, and made it easy for customers to book or purchase anytime.
Our Approach
We took a staged, data-driven approach to ensure the digital transition was smooth, scalable, and
commercially successful.
-
Launching e-commerce gift vouchers
We began by introducing a fully automated online voucher system while maintaining the manual process. This was an initial low-risk but high-impact step designed to test digital demand. The results were immediate and remarkable, setting the foundation for the next phase.
-
Implementing a booking engine
With strong ecommerce success, we moved to integrate a commercial booking engine that enabled real-time availability, instant confirmations, and a seamless user experience.
-
Full website redesign & rebuild
Finally, we created a completely new website. A modern look, fast, mobile-first, and designed around the spa’s services. The site integrates the booking engine and ecommerce store into one unified platform, offering a premium digital experience that truly reflects the spa.
The Results
Following the platform launch, White Lotus Spa saw substantial, sustained growth across all digital metrics:
-
Measurable online sales growth
The first full year after launching ecommerce saw over 450% growth in voucher sales. The following years maintained consistent double-digit increases across total sales, orders, and products sold.
-
Massive increase in website visibility
Organic and direct website activity surged, with more than 600% growth in active users and a large increase in new users year-on-year.
-
Improved customer experience
Allowing customers to book instantly, 24/7, instead of relying on opening hours and phone calls. The introduction of digital vouchers improved convenience and reduced drop-off.
-
Significant operational benefits
While they already had processes in place and an efficient operation, the business saw a huge reduction in manual admin, faster service delivery and a streamlined voucher redemption which resulted in fewer phone enquiries and manual processes.
