Guest Injury Claim

A guest slips near a spa, treatment room or wet area and suffers an injury. Public liability insurance may help cover legal defence costs and compensation.

Yoga or Fitness Injury Claim

A participant alleges that incorrect instruction during a yoga, meditation or fitness session caused an injury. Professional indemnity or public liability cover may respond depending on the circumstances.

Property Damage Claim

A fire, flood or storm damages guest accommodation, treatment rooms or retreat facilities. Buildings, contents and business interruption insurance may help protect the business.

Cyber Claim

An online booking system suffers a cyber incident affecting customer data, payments or bookings. Cyber insurance may help with response costs, investigation and recovery.

What Affects The Cost?

Costs can depend on turnover, guest numbers, accommodation type, treatment activities, staff, claims history, property values, equipment values and whether cover is needed for events, food service, pools, spas or online booking systems.
