NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XWELL, Inc. (Nasdaq: XWEL) (“XWELL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of wellness solutions for people on the go, today announced it has been named the Official Wellness Spa of the Orlando Magic as part of a new multiyear partnership. The partnership reflects a significant milestone in XWELL’s strategic expansion beyond airports and into high-growth local markets – beginning with Florida.

“This partnership with the Orlando Magic represents a powerful opportunity to introduce our wellness offerings to a broader community,” said XWELL CEO Ezra Ernst. “Florida is a priority growth market for us, and we’re proud to partner with an organization that shares our dedication to physical and mental well-being. Together, we’ll help make wellness more accessible and top-of-mind for fans throughout the region.”

Building on its strong foundation in Orlando —where XWELL has long served wellness-minded travelers at its Xpres Spa in Orlando International Airport—this new collaboration allows XWELL to extend its reach into the broader community. It underscores the company’s expanding mission to liberate wellness beyond travel hubs and into daily life.

Through this partnership, XWELL will receive significant brand integration across the Magic’s digital and in-arena platforms, including LED signage during home games, sponsored sweepstakes, radio promotions, website and app placement, and exclusive activations at Magic Fan Fest events outside the Kia Center. The agreement also includes on-court contests, consumer giveaways, and a co-branded wellness event at a local XWELL spa location featuring appearances by Magic alumni, the Magic entertainment teams, and fan-favorite mascot STUFF.

“The Orlando Magic are thrilled to partner with XWELL, a brand continuing to grow in Central Florida,” said Magic Sr. Vice President of Global Partnerships J.T. McWalters. “As two organizations that place an emphasis on legendary customer service, this partnership is a natural fit. We can’t wait to share with our fans all that XWELL has to offer the Central Florida community.”

The partnership plays a key role in supporting XWELL’s business goals in Florida, where the company is focused on expanding its medspa footprint as well as building brand awareness and lasting connections with local consumers. Through high-visibility brand activations and community engagement, XWELL aims to strengthen customer acquisition and solidify its role as a leading wellness provider in the state – inside and outside the airport.

For Magic fans and the broader Orlando community, XWELL’s presence at Kia Center and in the local area reflects the shared commitment of both brands to the health and well-being of its fans, players, and staff. With a growing number of wellness spas and services available to Magic fans across Florida, XWELL is poised to help bring the same mindset of care, recovery, and resilience off the court and into everyday life.

XWELL and the Orlando Magic will launch their first co-branded campaign and sweepstakes this season, offering fans exclusive discounts, chances to win a year of spa treatments, and additional unique opportunities to come.
