The MaloClinicSPA, the largest integrative wellness centre of its kind in the world, is soon to open at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel. The centre will offer the most comprehensive array of world-class medical treatments, spa services and wellness programmes in the region. Macao, which is already a popular lifestyle and leisure destination, can soon also add wellness to its list of draws with the opening of the MaloClinicSPA in mid 2009.

Owned and managed by Lisboa-based MALO Clinic Health & Wellness Group, the MaloClinicSPA aims to offer an integrative, all-inclusive approach to complete wellness, covering seven professional areas - oral rehabilitation & dental cosmetic, preventive & curative medical care, spa, total beauty, cosmetic anti-ageing, leisure & fitness, and life long wellness. Treatments will be developed and delivered by a team of the highest trained doctors and healthcare professionals in a first class, healthy and comfortable environment.

"It is a brand new concept in Asia Pacific, marking the future of health and wellness", says Dr. Paulo Malo, President of MALO Clinic Health & Wellness Group. "The MaloClinicSPA merges diagnostic and clinical services with spa treatments and wellness care all under one roof. We aim to provide guests the highest quality wellness service to address their individual needs in a trusted, relaxing spa environment."

"All the amazing offerings at The Venetian Macao make it not only the first fully integrated resort in Macao, they make the building the first-of-its kind anywhere in Asia," said Mr. Stephen Weaver, President - Asian Region, Las Vegas Sands Corp., "The MaloClinicSPA represents a significant and important addition to The Venetian and Cotai Strip, we are truly excited about our partnership with Dr. Malo and look forward to the opening of the MaloClinicSPA."

Measuring 85,000 square-feet, the MaloClinicSPA will consist of four key areas -- the Clinic, the Spa, the Beauty Salon and a leisure and fitness area. A multi-disciplinary fleet of over 50 medical doctors and licensed healthcare professionals (including dentists, clinical and traditional medical doctors, pharmacists, lab specialists), and 100 wellness therapists (spa therapists, physiotherapists, public health specialists, psychologists, nutritionists, sports & fitness specialists) are being recruited from Asia, Europe and America.

The MaloClinicSPA will be opened in two stages, with the entire facility scheduled to be in full operation by late summer 2009. The Spa and the Beauty Salon will open first in May, followed by the Clinic.

The MaloClinicSPA at the Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel will represent Malo's first foray into Asia. "We are thrilled with the potential in Asia, and the opening of this facility represents our foothold into this dynamic market", adds Malo. With its location in Asia's largest integrated resort, the MaloClinicSPA will target a variety of market segments attracted to the extensive range of leisure offerings and facilities of The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel. From MICE visitors wanting an executive health check-up while on business, to Macao residents and leisure travelers looking to add a world-class health and wellness experience to their leisure activities, the MaloClinicSPA will provide a wide range of services to rival some of the most established medical facilities in the world.
