Steiner Leisure Limited Announces Agreement to Build a New Spa at Club Med Bali

Steiner Leisure Limited (NASDAQ:STNR) today announced that its luxury resort spa division, Mandara Spa, has entered into an agreement to build and operate a new deluxe spa facility at the Club Med Bali, Bali, Indonesia. Steiner Leisure will invest $800,000 to create this new spa, which will replace the existing spa operated by Mandara Spa since 1998. The spa is anticipated to open by the end of December 2008. The term of the agreement to operate this new luxury spa is for ten years. The new Club Med Spa Village will offer Mandara Spa’s signature Balinese treatments and therapies. The spa will be comprised of 13 treatment rooms in total: nine single rooms with private outdoor rest areas and four double villas featuring an outdoor bale, private steam shower, changing room and oversized bath. The spa will also feature a retail boutique, separate manicure-pedicure and reflexology areas, an open sun deck and a relaxation lounge with a library. Located in the secured gated resort community of Nusa Dua, on the southeast coast of Bali, the resort is one of Club Med’s most beautiful and offers a total of 400 rooms and suites with an extensive range of leisure, sports and recreational activities.
