Launched in 2012 to recognize and reward the outstanding work carried out by spas across the globe, the World Spa & Wellness Awards is considered the leading award ceremony in the industry and aims to inspire spas around the world and raise global industry standards.
This year saw winners named across 11 categories, recognizing all aspects of the spa and wellness industry.
The evening’s celebrity host, TV presenter Anton Du Beke, provided a fun and exciting atmosphere that resonated with all finalists in their bid to take home the trophy.
Eve Oxberry, head of editorial for Professional Beauty and World Spa and Wellness, welcomed guests, saying: “The World Spa & Wellness Awards is now in its 11th year, and over that time we’ve seen the industry transition into one with both physical and mental wellbeing at the heart of its offer.
“The importance of touch, community and mindfulness has never been more apparent than in the last few years and our amazing finalists tonight include spas that offer all of that and more, while also achieving a strong business structure and supportive employment environment.”
