Planet Beach Spray & Spa- Gulfport

Overview

Planet Beach is a franchise chain of automated spray & spa facilities, often branded as Planet Beach Contempo Spa or Planet Beach Spray & Spa. It specializes in high-tech, self-service wellness treatments, with a strong emphasis on sauna-like pods such as the SlimCapsule and Hydration Station. These pods provide dry-heat sauna experiences adapted for modern calorie burning, detoxification, and skin hydration without the discomfort of traditional saunas.

The overall atmosphere is relaxing, futuristic, and efficient, resembling a Space Age spa. Customers lie in enclosed pods with features like cooling fans for the head, LED heating, aromatherapy, music, and ionization. Sessions promote sweating for calorie burn (up to 500 calories in 30 minutes), stress reduction, muscle relief, and cellulite reduction. The automated nature allows quick, private sessions (20-30 minutes), ideal for busy lifestyles, with a focus on total wellness combining spa, tanning, and fitness elements.
