Spa News: CCL Holdings Acquires Two Bunch Palms

The California-based resort will continue to emphasis healing and wellness under new management.

Hospitality and real estate private investment company CCL Holdings has acquired California’s Two Bunch Palms resort. The old leadership team, including Kevin Kelly as chief executive officer, John Trudeau as managing director and Rianna Riego as executive director of brand and communication, will remain in place as the resort is transferred to its new management company, JRNL Two Bunch Palms, an affiliate of CCL Holdings.

The iconic, 75-year-old resort was recently rebranded to emphasize healing and wellness, including the location’s healing waters, a multi-million dollar renovation and the addition of a farm-to-table restaurant, and a brand-new, 550 KW, 3.5-acre solar farm, making Two Bunch Palms fully carbon neutral. Additionally, Kevin Kelly revealed plans for a new world-class spa and wellness centre, a second hot mineral springs grotto and swimming pool, and additional hotel rooms in early 2016.

Says Tim Chun, vice president of CCL, “We’re very excited to share the vision that has been started by the previous owners and move forward with the next phase of expansion.”

“Two Bunch Palms is leading the industry as the first sustainable wellness resort of its kind in the country, and we are thrilled that CCL is committed to promoting sustainable wellbeing,” said Kelly.

Two Bunch Palms was recently named best Corporate Brand Committed to Sustainability in the Green Spa Awards.
