"Body, Mind and Spirit"

Since September 2005, Spa Almaz has been the premiere spa in New Iberia. With the assistance of the Acadiana Small Business Development Center sponsored by Louisiana Economic Development’s Microenterprise Development Program, owner Cindy Viator and her staff were able to prepare market research, financial projections and a business plan to achieve remarkable success. The center even helped them secure a $100,000 commercial bank loan.

Spa Almaz is committed to creating a unique retreat from the stress of the day and replenishing the body and soul through advanced, natural therapies in a luxurious environment.
