Villantra was born from a simple frustration: watching talented salon owners, gym managers and therapists spend hours on admin instead of their craft. We built the platform we wished existed.
The wellness industry in the Gulf and North Africa is growing fast, yet most providers still take bookings on WhatsApp, track payments in spreadsheets and lose clients to friction.
Villantra removes all of that. One platform, one login, every tool a business needs, from the first booking to the hundredth employee.
“Software should disappear into the day. If an owner notices it, we have more work to do.”
Villantra started in 2026. Here is exactly where we are and what we are building next.
Started in Doha with a single goal: replace the WhatsApp-and-paper-diary workflow that still runs most wellness businesses.
A small group of salons and barbershops in Doha put the booking engine through real working weeks and told us what broke.
Provider app on iOS and Android, online payments through Tap in Qatar, and a manual billing flow built for the Algerian market.
Regional card rails, VAT and sales-tax handling, and the language support each market needs. Five countries live.
Subscription plans for gyms, plus consolidated reporting for owners running more than one location.
Mada and STC Pay, KNET, SEPA direct debit, and full Arabic and French localisation.
Every market gets its own payment rails, tax handling and language support before we call it live, rather than one generic build translated.
Every feature starts with one question: does this help a salon owner, gym manager or therapist do their job better?
We only call a market live once payments, tax and language work properly there. That is slower than planting flags, and it is the point.
Complexity kills adoption. The platform does everything you need and nothing you do not.
Villantra is early, so the person building the product is the person who answers when you get in touch.
Founder & CEO
Doha, Qatar
Adel started Villantra after seeing the same pattern across the Gulf and North Africa: wellness businesses run on craft and reputation, while the software on offer was built for somewhere else. He leads product and engineering, and works directly with the first providers on the platform.
We are hiring the first people to join him.
