Asheville, NC – Recline & Unwind Social Spa, the world’s first open-concept social spa, is proud to announce a major milestone: the sale of its very first franchise, set to open in Beaufort, South Carolina in 2025.
This exciting expansion marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Asheville-based, women-owned brand that has quickly earned a 5-star reputation for redefining relaxation. With its unique mix of affordability, convenience, and community vibes, Recline & Unwind is changing how people experience self-care—and now, that experience is headed to the South Carolina coast.
“This is a huge moment for us,” said Heidi Plant, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Recline & Unwind. “Our dream has always been to create an inclusive, accessible space for people to relax, recharge, and connect. To see that vision take root in a new community through our very first franchise is incredibly rewarding.”
Why Beaufort?
Known for its charm, coastal beauty, and close-knit community, Beaufort is the perfect fit for the Recline & Unwind Social Spa concept. The upcoming location will offer the same signature experience that’s made the flagship spa a standout: 15-minute targeted massages in heated zero-gravity recliners, delivered in a welcoming, open-concept space designed for both solo relaxation and shared moments.
What Makes Recline & Unwind Different?
Recline & Unwind breaks the mold of the traditional spa by offering:
- Affordable, effective massages by licensed professionals starting at just 15 minutes
- Kid- and teen-friendly services, perfect for families
- A laid-back, social environment that ditches the stuffy spa feel
- Private party options for birthdays, bachelorettes, and more
Whether guests pop in for a quick reset or stack sessions for a longer unwind, the experience is always pressure-free and refreshingly different.
A Growing Brand, Built for Expansion
The Beaufort location is just the beginning of what promises to be a nationwide movement. Recline & Unwind’s spa franchise model is designed with accessibility in mind—just like the spa experience itself.
