World Spa Awards, World Travel Awards‘ sister event, is a dynamic awards programme, launched in 2015. The awards are designed to drive up standards within spa and wellness tourism by rewarding the organisations that are the leaders in the field.
Al Faisaliah Spa by ESPA at Al Faisaliah Hotel Riyadh was recognised as the World’s Best Female Spa, while Emirates Palace Spa took the title of World’s Best Hotel Spa.
Also taking the stage was Lanserhof Tegernsee, recognised as the World’s Best Medical Spa, and host Forte Village Resort, picking up the trophies for World’s Best Wellness Retreat.
The title of World’s Best Nail Studio Brand went to PEDI:MANI:CURE Studio by Bastien Gonzalez. Aldemar Royal Mare was granted the Greece’s Best Wellness Retreat 2016 award while Tribe Hotel Kenya was voted Kenya’s Best Hotel Spa 2016.
Forte Village Resort was the perfect host for the 2016 World Spa Awards ceremony. The world renowned location stands in a unique 47 hectares tropical park setting on the beautiful south coast of Sardinia, approximately 40 kilometers from Cagliari airport.
The resort is a world of its own, with a wide choice of four and five star hotels, beachfront suites and villas, restaurants, pools, sports activities, children’s clubs and entertainment, on a magnificent beach where guests can be as active or relaxed as they wish.
World Spa Awards was developed in reaction to overwhelming demand from the spa industry for a programme that was fair and transparent; a programme with a mission to serve as the definitive benchmark of excellence, and to help to foster a new era of growth in spa tourism.
Voting methodology is simple; votes are cast by professionals working within the spa industry – senior executives, travel buyers, tour operators, agents and media – and by the public.
