Westin Hotels and Resorts has unveiled plans to continue with the international expansion of its signature spa brand in order to meet increasing demand for luxury services.
The operator - owned by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide - is planning to launch 13 new Heavenly Spas by 2014, with all but two located outside the US.
Among the new Heavenly Spa locations are the Westin Lagunamar, Mexico; India's Westin Chennai Velachery; and Westin Xiamen, Westin Changbaishan and Westin Wenzhou - all three of which are in China.
Heavenly Spas by Westin are based upon two of the brand's key philosophies – preserving wellness on the road and helping guests to leave feeling better than when they arrived.
Jeremy McCarthy, director of global spa development and operations for Starwood, said: "There is a growing demand for spa and wellness services in key global emerging markets such as Asia.
"Westin's Heavenly Spa concept fulfils that demand and provides signature sensory experiences aimed at mind-body wellness and revitalisation."
Brian Povinelli, global brand leader for Westin Hotels, added: "The global expansion of our Heavenly Spa brand underscores the strong appeal of our distinctive positioning around wellbeing."
