A SPA LIKE NO OTHER Where the warm water lets the day draw more slowly to a close, there is a place that offers space for precious time and a vessel for tranquillity. In the SILENT SPA you will enjoy complete rest and hitherto unknown relaxation, hour by hour.
A special place, a place of quiet. As people, we instinctively and continuously seek out places that do us good. Because they can give us back something of the security and the light-heartedness that we seem to lose in the hectic bustle of our days. In these places, we find rest and strength and reflect about ourselves and our life in the tranquillity of the moment.
With its rest zones and relaxation oases, indoor and outdoor pools, restaurant and bar, sauna area and spa suites, SILENT SPA creates a place of tranquillity, room by room, in a noisy world. Let time stand still for you. For a moment, for a precious instant. For a wonderful day. Welcome to the SILENT SPA, the Premium Day SPA of the Therme Laa – a resort of VAMED Vitality World!

INTERVIEW
ANNA TEAL
ANNA TEAL AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES Aromatherapy Associates has taken the title of World’s Best Aromatherapy Brand at the World Spa Awards, with voters recognising it as the best in the business. Here, Best in Travel speaks to Anna Teal, chief executive of the company, to find out what it means to have taken the prestigious title.
BEST IN SPAS
Best in Travel: Aromatherapy Associates has been honoured with a top title at the World Spa Awards – how does it feel to have won? Anna Teal: We are beyond honoured to have received the award yet again this year. Our team work hard to ensure our founder’s vision is met, and to have the brand globally recognised like this gives the team a great boost to keep working as hard as they do. BiT: Can you tell us a little about Aromatherapy Associates and what is on offer to the wellness community? AT: Aromatherapy Associates believes in the transformative powers of aromatherapy to create moments of positive wellbeing. Founded in 1985, it is British-born brand, crafted by experts and still hand-blended in London today; each oil is as authentic and personal as it is effective, sustainable and utterly irresistible. Born to address a set of universal human needs, be that stress, the need to re-energise, have a restful night of sleep, or find focus, Aromatherapy Associates blends target wellbeing concerns on a physical and emotional level. In a hectic world, helping people reclaim their lives and recharge their soul during daily moments of reset is their purpose – and this is as true today as it was in 1985. The Aromatherapy Associates range takes you on a sensory journey to enhance wellbeing, from essential oils to bath and shower experiences, home fragrance and skincare. To be found in world leading retail and leisure destinations all around the world, and loved by spa
professionals who recognise a commitment to excellence.
well as that of the new ones emerging.
BiT: How useful will the World Spa Awards trophy be in promoting the brand as we head into 2022?
We are proud to have innovated in the last year and created capsule collections of treatments that do just that.
AT: We are proud winners and always promote the fact that the World Spa Awards have recognised us for our work within the industry.
From in-room wellbeing treatments to a wellness treatment menu and from live online masterclasses to onetwo-one consultations, we want to extend our expertise to a wider audience to circle them back into the spa, as we know there is no better wellbeing outcome than that from a spa treatment.
It shows our future collaborators our commitment to the heart of our brand, spa. BiT: Finally, how would you describe the mood in global spa tourism as we head into the new year? AT: With touch-hungry consumers, our spas have never been more wanted. As a result, spas need to ensure their menu offering answers the needs of their existing clients as

WITH 7,000 GUESTS FROM OVER 60 COUNTRIES EVERY YEAR, MORE THAN 250,000 SUCCESSFUL FASTING TREATMENTS IN TOTAL, AND 100 YEARS OF FASTING EXPERTISE OVER FOUR GENERATIONS, BUCHINGER WILHELMI IS THE WORLD’S LEADING CLINIC FOR THERAPEUTIC FASTING, INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AND INSPIRATION.
BUCHINGER
BEST IN SPAS
The Buchinger Wilhelmi programme is based on therapeutic fasting developed by the clinics’ founder, Dr Otto Buchinger (1878–1966). This method has been continually honed over four generations and in collaboration with international university research centres. In addition to the focus on therapeutic fasting and supplementary nutritional strategies, the clinics in Germany and Spain offer a wide range of therapies. Above all, however, they are havens of peace and relaxation. The Clinic on Lake Constance (Germany) is situated high above the lake with breath-taking views across the forest-lined shores of Lake Constance and Mainau Island to the snow-topped peaks of the Alps.
The Buchinger Wilhelmi programme – For a healthy and fulfilled life. The Buchinger Wilhelmi programme is built around the fasting method developed by the clinic’s founder Dr. Otto Buchinger (1878 – 1966). This method has been honed continually over three generations and in cooperation with university research centres. Our programme is designed to preserve, promote and restore your health. We pursue a holistic approach that sees the body, mind and soul as one in the healing and growth process. The focus is on therapeutic fasting and personal medical care. Conscious nutrition, physical fitness and spiritual inspiration round off our range of services and play an equally important role in the regeneration of the body and spirit as physical treatments and exercise in nature.

Buchinger Wilhelmi Therapeutic Fasting
Nutrition and Dietetics
The Buchinger Wilhelmi fasting programme is based on more than 100 years of experience. It is designed to help you regain and preserve your quality of life, functional capacity and inner harmony. Besides unlimited amounts of mineral water, guests who are fasting are offered herbal teas, freshly made vegetable consommés and freshly pressed fruit juices – naturally all organic. Fasting begins with a light vegetarian meal on the day you arrive followed by a digestive rest day. After you have completed the fast, you gradually build up your nutrition again over a period of four days – an intense and pleasurable experience and one which is vital for the success of your stay in the long term. Those who are unable to fast or choose not to do so can enjoy Buchinger Wilhelmi’s wonderful organic gourmet cuisine or a special diet tailored to their individual nutritional requirements, allergies and personal preferences.
Those who cannot or do not want to fast can enjoy a calorie-reduced diet from 800 kcal or our 2000 kcal wholefood diet with our organic gourmet cuisine. Nutrition has a major influence on preserving health and vitality. That’s why we offer you a wide range of incentives and suggestions to enable you to start a new lifestyle when you return home. In our talks, we tell you about the correlations between nutrition and health. In our cooking demonstrations, we show you
Integrative Medicine The medical services offered at Buchinger Wilhelmi effectively combine modern diagnostics with complementary medicine, including naturopathic and alternative methods from western and eastern cultures as well as psychosomatic medicine. Our main focus is on prevention and encouraging a healthy lifestyle in the long term. For example, we offer regular talks on various health-related, medical and therapeutic topics.

how to prepare healthy tasty dishes. In individual cooking lessons, you can put what you have learned into practice and prepare delicious and healthy meals yourself.
Physical Therapy The processes triggered in the body through fasting are enhanced by means of external therapies such as massages, physiotherapy and wraps. We are proud to employ many outstanding therapists specialised in various treatments from all over the world – from China and Japan, Thailand and India, as well as classical European naturopathy. Your doctor will help you choose which and how many treatments are right for you.
Exercise and Relaxation You can look forward to a varied programme of sports and relaxation at Buchinger Wilhelmi. Learn effective ways to improve your stamina and strength in group and individual sessions. In addition, you can try out various relaxation techniques such as autogenic training, meditation or yoga under expert guidance. Our personal trainers provide a more physical workout. Alternatively, you can go cycling, play tennis or golf. Daily walking tours with experienced guides to wonderful destinations nearby are particularly popular.
Inspiration and Spirituality A stay at Buchinger Wilhelmi is not only beneficial for your physical health, but also for your mind and soul, the true needs of which unfold through fasting.
That’s why we offer you a wide choice of concerts, art trips and literary evenings as well as talks, panel discussions and daily meditation sessions.
Beauty and Skin Care Feeling attractive and feeling good are directly related to each other. That is why we also offer professional beauty and skin care. Let yourself be pampered in our in-house cosmetics studios in Überlingen and Marbella and enjoy our treatments for greater vitality and a radiant appearance. Our experienced team offer you individual treatments that cater to your needs. We do all we can to give your skin a healthy glow. Enjoy exceptional, professional beauty and skin care in an exclusive atmosphere.
Psychotherapy and Coaching During your stay at Buchinger Wilhelmi, you will have countless new and positive experiences. We want you to take as many as possible back home with you and incorporate them into your daily life. After all, the greatest success is achieving a longterm change to your lifestyle. This is why talks and practical courses in the areas of medicine, psychology, sport, fitness and nutrition are an important part of our programme. In addition, you can take advantage of individual personal coaching (life coaching or health coaching). A visit to our clinic therefore not only promises new vitality and energy, but also new perspectives. www.buchinger-wilhelmi.com

The result is a uniquely personalised experience, where each guest embarks on a bespoke synergistic journey that encompasses the preventive, reparative and regenerative actions required to help you attain optimum wellness.
Advanced Detox This is the pillar programme of Henri Chenot and it aims to induce a deep purification and
detoxification of the body. It supports the natural processes to excrete metabolic waste and toxins, to repair defective tissues and to restore hormonal balance. The programme includes medical consultations, advanced diagnostic tests, a low-calorie plantbased nutritional plan and targeted treatments. Working in synergy, effective detoxifying action is achieved. The treatments and the diet are carried out under strict medical supervision.

INTERVIEW
Chenot Advanced Detox Programme at Chenot Palace Weggis has been honoured with the title of World’s Best Detox Programme at the World Spa Awards. Here, Best in Travel speaks to Dr George Gaitanos, chief operating and scientific officer at the property, to find out how it feels to have been recognised by voters from around the globe. DR. GEORGE GAITANOS
GEORGE GAITANOS CHENOT PALACE Best in Travel: Having claimed a top title at the World Spa Awards, how does it feel to have won? Dr George Gaitanos: We are very honoured to have won this award. Detox is at the core of our offerings and getting acknowledged that Chenot does it “best”, is satisfying and motivating at the same time. It also made us incredibly happy to think about how proud Henri Chenot would have been, knowing that this award is a reflection of his decades of hard work. His achievements and the continuous evolution and science-based approach we practise, has elevated his programme to the best in the world.
BiT: How will the trophy help you to promote Chenot Palace as we move into 2022? GG: In general, we believe that a brand and method that exist and work well for over 50 years, almost speak for itself. That said, the award is like a quality seal that will validate our detox programme to those, that haven’t been in contact with Chenot yet. It also allows us to move on with confidence, knowing that we deliver the world’s best detox programme. Now more than ever, people have undeniably become aware of the importance of staying in shape, of preserving their health capital. Integrating health into wellness is the new grail.
In an increasingly stressful world, Chenot is to shine a light on the importance of investing in mental and physical health – at the earliest possible age – to achieve a high performing, strong, healthy and wellbalanced life. With the award in hand, we will go into 2022 and hopefully help many on their path to selfoptimisation. BiT: What is it that caught the eye of voters; what do you think it is that separates Chenot Advanced Detox Programme at Chenot Palace Weggis from its competitors around the world? GG: Our approach is preventative, integrative and personalised. We treat the guest from the moment of arrival, his or her
BEST IN SPAS
whole being is evaluated by our health specialists and professional. Adding to this, in-house advanced screening tests and state-of-the-art diagnostics are offered to allow personalisation of the Advanced Detox programme. There is continuous monitoring and connectivity between all treatments throughout the guest’s transformational experience. This bespoke service is fundamental to our success.
The staff are integral to the process. From Chenot’s doctors to our chefs, we work only with the best. Many guests have told us that they feel very much at home when they stay with us, this is in no small part due to our professional and empathetic team. Our location cannot be underestimated and has certainly caught the eye of many guests and voters. The peaceful and tranquil village of Weggis on Lake Lucerne plays an important role in the guests’ experience.
It struck us as the perfect choice for our new opening because it allows an active and sustainable lifestyle, which reflects Chenot’s health wellness principles and philosophy.

INTERVIEW
NILS BEHRENS LANSERHOF GROUP Lanserhof Tegernsee has taken the title of World’s Best Medical Spa at the World Spa Awards, with voters recognising it as the best in the business. Here, Best in Travel speaks to Nils Behrens, chief marketing officer with Lanserhof Group, about the property and what it means to take the prestigious prize. Best in Travel: Lanserhof Tegernsee has been honoured with a top title at the World Spa Awards – how does it feel to have won? Nils Behrens: It is an incredible honour to have won this prestigious award for the seventh time in a row.
NILS BEHRENS
Above all, it is a confirmation for our great employees, who do everything to ensure that our guests can start a new, healthier life with more energy after their stay at Lanserhof. BiT: Can you tell us a little about Lanserhof Tegernsee and what is on offer there? NB: Lanserhof has been setting standards in modern medicine for over 30 years and is a unique institution for prevention and health regeneration worldwide.
At Lanserhof Tegernsee we benefit from the special location high above Lake Tegernsee with a fantastic view of the foothills of the Alps. You truly feel like you are on a magic mountain here. Our guests have the opportunity here not only to complete a physical detox, but also to reflect on their lives and relationships. By this I mean relationships with yourself, your partner, your job or your individual spirituality. BiT: How useful will the World Spa Awards trophy be in promoting the resort as we head into 2022? NB: The title is one of our core messages in our communication. We see it in sporting terms like football: if you have won the World Cup, then you can talk about it.
BEST IN SPAS
BiT: Finally, how would you describe the mood in German, and European, tourism as we look ahead to next year? NB: Awareness of one’s own health is higher than ever before. In the pandemic, many have become aware that they belong to a risk group. This was a moment of awakening for many people. Now the willingness to change individual lifestyles is higher than ever. This is confirmed by the high demand we have at all our locations. Even in London, where we run a Private Wellness Club & Clinic (which has also won two awards), we are seeing great demand, with our customers appreciating the benefits of small, private clubs more than ever before.
MORE INFORMATION For more than 35 years, Lanserhof has been setting standards in modern medicine, paving the way to a healthier life. Naturopathy meets modern medicine: the Lanserhof concept is internationally regarded as one of the most pioneering holistic health concepts in the world. By combining natural remedies from traditional medicine with advanced medical knowledge, it helps guests to achieve healthier, happier lives filled with zest and energy.

RESORT BARRIÈRE RIBEAUVILLÉ HOTEL - BALNEO SPA - CASINO This exceptional resort of the Barrière group has just won “France’s Best Resort Spa 2021”, and is one of France’s finest Balneo Spas.
An extraordinary complex Immersed in nature, on the edge of the wine-growing village of Ribeauvillé, between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, this establishment embodies the experience and innovative spirit of the Barrière group. On a fabulous 12.2 hectare site, facing an enchanting horizon, this large-scale project (12,000 m²) houses a 4-star hotel with 54 rooms and 2 suites, a casino, three restaurants, two bars - including the Café des Sports where multiple sports competitions are broadcast continuously - a performance hall as well as a Spa and a 3,600m² balneotherapy area, the highlight of the resort! In addition to the range of its facilities, the aim of the Resort Barrière Ribeauvillé is to offer relaxation and fitness around the aquatic element. An irresistible concept...
© Fabrice Rambert,
A winning hotel Attached to the casino, the hotel enjoys a breath-taking view of the Vosges dotted with medieval castles, including the unmissable HautKoenigsbourg. With its contemporary architecture, the resort offers highend quality with an abundance of assets to appeal to a demanding clientele. Both chic and trendy, it relies on a winning duo: space and clarity. In harmony with the surrounding nature, three large trees in the central aisle enliven a refined decor with mineral tones facing a wall of flowing water. The Brasserie is also a real eye-catcher with its surge of lighting by Artemide. This fine restaurant offers a menu focused on the culinary traditions of Alsace, inspired by curiosities, tastes and flavours of today. To vary the pleasures or simply to eat in a relaxed way, even in a bathrobe, the wellness-oriented restaurant,
Le Belvédère, is the perfect place! This panoramic restaurant of 300m², housed upstairs, offers direct access to the spa area. With its large bay windows, its pretty wooded setting, its trendy furniture full of pep, its lounge area with fireplace and its large terrace, this tasting place offers at any time of the day, light and balanced menus, tasty snacks, salads, pies... In addition, it is open to the outside public from noon until closing. In the morning, breakfast is served here around a rich buffet. Housed over 2 floors, with balconies overlooking the garden, the rooms charmingly cultivate everything one would expect from a high-end establishment. The aesthetic design of the furniture and the softness of light colours discreetly underlined by a few touches of bright orange or silky green shades add to the well-being of a home with irreproachable comfort.

RESORT BARRIÈRE RIBEAUVILLÉHHHH
A sublimissime wellness center! The balneotherapy area combines all the superlatives. Three pools and 740 m3 of water, indoor and outdoor, a breath-taking aquatic course. Sensual bubble where the virtues of water unite with the beauty of the surrounding landscape, the indoor aquatic space, with its two amazing pools, multiplies style exercises by playing on the aestheticism of forms, lines and materials. In this fascinating setting, the first basin emerges as a lagoon, planted with large rocks from which quivering waterfalls spring up. A multitude of hydromassage jets, geysers, swan necks and their © Olivier Tisserand procession of submerged massage benches, reflexology zones and jacuzzis are all fun attractions for the well-being of body and mind. No less than 120 activities punctuate a formidable course of massages, relaxation and fitness in water deliciously heated to 34°C. At nightfall, the magic continues with a shower of luminous fibres and underwater light shows. An absolutely magical show! The ‘Lake of Silence’ is a true ode to water, silence and chromotherapy. This bewitching infinity pool unfolds its calm waters with emerald green reflections. You can simply let yourself be lulled by the notes of an underwater music... The other highlight is in the open air ... In symbiosis with nature, the ‘Lac des cCratères’ is a superb basin animated by corridors and laces of counter-current water, rivers with massage jets and bubble and whirlpool alcoves. In summer, you can laze in peace on the lawns of an oversized garden without fear of the crowds or the cries of children ... Access to the balneotherapy area, including the garden, is open to children over 1,50 m accompanied by an adult and the regulated entrance fee up to a limit of 296 people… to preserve the intimate identity of the place. In summer as in winter, this ‘therapy of happiness’ is to be enjoyed at any time of the day and until late at night, when the play of lights does their jokes and compose a scenography that is worth the detour!
© Olivier Tisserand
Well-being at the sauna Housed on the ground floor, the sauna area lets the beauty and purity of the materials fully express themselves. An XXL-sized panoramic Finnish sauna, a sumptuous hammam with a starry sky lined with iridescent mosaics with metallic reflections and sensory showers and even a new real snow
shower pleasantly punctuate the warm sessions. For relaxation breaks, depending on the weather, you can choose the rest room with woody tones or the solarium which, on a teak platform, accommodates a host of stylishly designed lounge chairs.

A 昀ow of thematic workshops To free the body and mind from the tensions of everyday life, take part in one of these thematic workshops offered all week, free of charge, ask at the balneotherapy centre. Thus, sophrology workshops are given twice a week (Wednesday at 8pm and 9pm and Thursday at 7:45pm), by Jean-Michel Schlupp, a sophrologist (outside speaker), a true ‘master’ of this discipline. Aqua-yoga classes take place every Monday at 7:30pm while Aquagym classes are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Several ‘sauna activities’ take place every day (11am, 5pm, 8:30pm) with various scrubs and infusions and Wednesday evenings (from 7:30pm to 9pm) are reserved for women. New in 2020: two Qi Qong workshops on Tuesday at 7:30pm and 8pm to experience calm and relaxation! Once you have tried one of these experiences, you quickly get hooked!
The Diane Barrière Spa This signature is quite simply a symbol of excellence! The pretty, uncluttered decor in sand tones blends in with the natural beauty of sandblasted wood with a material effect to dress the reception counter, the walls and the hallways. The 5 treatment rooms, including one double, exude a serene atmosphere for exquisite beauty parentheses. As for the treatment menu, it exploits the subtle properties of natural cosmetic lines: Rose & Pepper, and Évadésens. A team of 6 caring beauticians provide a rich palette of body and face treatments, as well as divine seasonal rituals, as well as a series of massages from around the world, not to mention a must: the Diane Barrière signature body treatment. Beauty and wellbeing guaranteed! - Text by Corinne Bibert -

INTERVIEW
LORENZO GIANNUZZI
Palazzo Fiuggi at Forte Village has taken the title of World’s Best New Wellness Retreat at the World Spa Awards, with voters recognising it as the best in the business. Here, Best in Travel speaks to Lorenzo Giannuzzi, Founder of Palazzo Fiuggi, to find out what it means to have taken the prestigious title.
LORENZO GIANNUZZI PALAZZO FIUGGI Best in Travel: Palazzo Fiuggi has been honoured with a top title at the World Spa Awards – how does it feel to have won? Lorenzo Giannuzzi: The World Spa Awards has become the most prestigious award in the wellness industry and receiving the award of World’s Best New Wellness Retreat in the first year of operation makes this accolade even more special! We are extremely proud of it as it is an incredible recognition of the great job of our fantastic team and to the shareholders for the big investments we have done in a very challenging time. In addition, there is a very special and personal bond that connects me with the property, which has always had a special place in my heart since I came across it many years ago. When I was working the Forte Hotels Group that owned at that time this majestic hotel and I oversaw the hotel renovation then and reopening as general manager from 1988 to 1992, I literally fell in love with the beauty and history of this majestic building. My idea was to make it into a leading medical spa but unfortunately before the spa was open and running, I was offered the position of managing director
for Caribbean and western Atlantic of the same chain. My successor at that time abandoned this concept that estimated too technical and decided for a more standard fitness centre. It was a pity because we could have been the pioneer in the world of this approach to wellbeing. In 2019 the enchanting Palace was auctioned and after several sessions gone deserted, I decided to make a proposal which went through. Last May, after two years of scientific and medical research and an extensive refurbishment which has enhanced the original grandeur of this beautiful Libertystyle building, Palazzo Fiuggi has started welcoming all the guests and the great recognitions and accolades which make us extremely proud. BiT: Can you tell us a little about Palazzo Fiuggi and what is on offer to the wellness community? LG: Palazzo Fiuggi is the most innovative wellness and medical spa in the world. It is an authentic temple devoted to wellness and wellbeing, just an hour away from Rome, which blends in a perfect combination the deepest holistic traditions
BEST IN SPAS
with the most advanced traditional western medicine, with the help of some of the leading technologies available on site, including the latest infrared technology for brain health and sleep, retinal scanning and diagnostic testing. Food is central to the experience with a unique food line designed but the three-Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck, who has worked alongside the retreat’s own medical and scientific director to create a line of dishes that utilise biodynamic ingredients and essential nutrients in ways that are as healthful as they are delicious. Our most popular programmes, which are all evidence based with astonishing results after a week since the start, currently are Optimal Weight, Deep Detox and Full Immunoboost, which is also linked to the Post Covid-19 Programme. Another successful offer is our newly launched, seven-night Regenerate Programme, which guests can personalise with specific treatments, fitness and yoga activities that suit their personal needs. In addition, our already successful team of world-renowned doctors and experts have just welcomed
doctor Vikas Gupta who will soon introduce amongst Palazzo Fiuggi offer some very interesting programs and therapies aimed to the holistic post-Covid recovery. He has a wealth of experience, having trained at the Himalayas of integrated health and personal transformation with a master’s in yoga and alternative principles of medicine. He is specialised in global Ayurveda, nutrition and lifestyle and we truly believe he will help our guests in easing their anxiety and personal challenges. We can say that everything at Palazzo Fiuggi talks about wellness: the unique healing powers of the Fiuggi water, the tranquillity of its natural environment, its location at 700 meters above sea level with pure oxygen-rich air, made even more cleaner by the fact that there are no factories in the area, they all create an ideal environment for personal transformation, optimal health and wellbeing. BiT: How useful will the World Spa Awards trophy be in promoting the property as we head into 2022? LG: I believe that being recognized by the voters as the best in the business is an excellent achievement at different levels.
On the one side, it is a clear confirmation that we are going in the right way. On the other side, it is an excellent tool to help the international clientele discover the beauty of the property and the uniqueness of its concept
BiT: Finally, how would you describe the mood in global spa tourism as we enter the new year? LG: Wellness and wellbeing have become a way of life and taking care of oneself as embracing healthy life changing habits is paramount for most of the people, now more than ever. This is not something we do when we have time, but is has become part of our routine. The pandemic has been a huge wake up call for everyone, including those who may have not considered a wellness retreat in the past, in fact the wellness tourism is expected to have double-digit annual growth in next years.

JACQUES LÉVÊQUE
JACQUES LÉVÊQUE RESORT BARRIÈRE RIBEAUVILLÉ Spa Diane Barrière at Resort Barrière Ribeauvillé has been honoured with the title of France’s Best Resort Spa at the World Spa Awards. Here Best in Travel speaks to Jacques Lévêque, general manager of the property, to find out how it feels to have been recognised by voters from around the globe.
BEST IN SPAS
Best in Travel: Having claimed a top title at the World Spa Awards, how does it feel to have won? Jacques Lévêque: It is a wonderful feeling. We have worked hard for ten years, especially with the lockdowns, to maintain quality, customer service and harmony. Knowing that we succeed in a crisis to keep our standards and wellbeing fill us with gratitude. We are dedicated and motivated to continue to improve our teamwork, cause especially nowadays, teamwork makes the dream work. BiT: How will the trophy help you to promote Resort Barrière Ribeauvillé as we move into 2022?
JL: The World Spa Awards is one of the most famous titles to win. We do have very loyal guests and most of them are regional inhabitants. With international borders closing we were a popular staycation destination. We hope, with the trophy, and the come-back of international travellers, to greet and pamper guests from all over the world. BiT: What is it that caught the eye of voters; what do you think it is that separates Spa Diane Barrière at Resort Barrière Ribeauvillé from its competitors around the world? JL: Our resort and spa have two unique features: the team and its
structure. It is a sustainable complex that offers a unique ecological solution in Europe. Indeed, all the heat needed for the hotel and the Balneo centre, as well as hot water throughout, is ensured thanks to the calories provided from organic waste recycling. We believe that in a climate changing world and an increasing need for interpersonal relationships - our Spa Diane Barrière meets customer’s choices.

INTERVIEW
THERESE MARTIRENA
THERESE MARTIRENA D Dolder Grand Spa at the Dolder Grand has taken the title of World’s Best Day Spa at the World Spa Awards, with voters recognising it as the best in the business. Here, Best in Travel speaks to spa director, Therese Martirena, about the property to find out what it means to have taken the prestigious title.
BEST IN SPAS
Best in Travel: Dolder Grand Spa at The Dolder Grand has been honoured with a top title at the World Spa Awards – how does it feel to have won? Therese Martirena: It is truly an honour for the entire team. Especially during these uncertain times, it is a reward for their hard work. The uncertainty and the constantly changing rules and regulations have challenged us. But due to an experienced and professional team and a forward-looking management, we could offer our guests the service and experience they are used to getting. BiT: Can you tell us a little about Dolder Grand and what is on offer there? TM: A comprehensive offer for body, mind and soul based on our Life Balance program:
beauty, detox, vitality and relax these are the components you need to regenerate.
These awards add value to our brand and show our guests that we are best in class.
In addition, there is the luxury of being so close to nature and the city centre of Zurich, as well as having a 4,000sqm large spa, a medical wellness centre inhouse and short distances, of less less than 15 minutes, to the world’s best clinics.
BiT: Finally, how would you describe the mood in global spa tourism as we head into the new year?
The Dolder Grand is thus the ideal hub for those who want to visit Zurich for leisure, business, relaxation or medical treatments. BiT: How useful will the World Spa Awards trophy be in promoting the resort as we head into 2022? TM: We always proudly communicate our awards. We pitch them to the press or include them in our daily communications.
DOLDER GRAND
TM: Stronger than ever. Health and wellbeing have never been more important to society than in times of Covid-19. The Dolder Grand Spa offers already a large and exclusive spectrum; however, we will further extend our offering to meet our guest’s everyday needs.

Treat Yourself Everything about a spa vacation is designed for personal service and serenity. Forget about the outside world and focus on you and your body. When choosing a spa, it’s important to pinpoint the intent of your wellness journey. Is it to unwind? Is it to treat a medical issue? Is skincare top of mind? A spa vacation includes various wellness paths from oneto-one consults with a doctor, to selfguided experiences, to a stress-free relaxing reset that includes exercise, clean eating, and acupuncture.
Holistic Spa Experience A spa vacation caters to every whim of its guests. That said, no two spas are alike so make certain treatments and amenities match expectations. At a general level, spas offer therapeutic treatments like massage and body therapies, skincare, and nail and hair salon services. At a higher level, spas can help with medical issues. And for those wanting a more deep-rooted approach, some spas offer a cold chamber antiinflammatory treatment for treating psoriasis and neurodermatitis. Complement favorite spa therapies with nutritional counseling and other wellness and holistic options from Zumba to Ayurveda.
Spa Savvy Whether you’re a newbie going on a spa break or are a seasoned spa-goer, make sure to befriend the concierge. He or she can book appointments before arrival, help plan activities, and switch up things if the routine becomes monotonous. Spas are a great place to be social and are especially fun for girlfriend vacations or mom, daughter, and sister retreats. Spas also offer a host of services for couples looking to reconnect and rekindle the romance. Leave behind the hustle and bustle of city life and step into an oasis of calm.

INTERVIEW
KALYANI BURT MAUI HEALING RETREAT Maui Healing Retreat has been honoured with the title of Hawaii’s Best Wellness Retreat by voters at the World Spa Awards. Here, Best in Travel speaks to spokesperson Kalyani Burt to find out how it feels to have taken the prestigious honour. KALYANI BURT
BEST IN SPAS
Best in Travel: How does it feel to have been recognised by voters from around the world?
We’re hopeful; every day, the future looks brighter for the tourism industry!
Kalyani Burt: We’re completely humbled and grateful for those that voted for us.
Maui Healing Retreat saw this pandemic as a transformative opportunity, and we believe the tourism industry did so as well.
We are honoured that the community acknowledges the transformational work the Maui Healing Retreat team facilitates. Our hand-selected and soughtafter practitioners are not only experts in their field but are highly devoted to helping our guests heal and re-connect with themselves. We all love what we do and feel blessed to be recognised for it. BiT: How will Maui Healing Retreat be using the title to promote the company as we move into 2022? KB: Winning this prestigious award is a tremendous opportunity for guests worldwide to become better acquainted with our personalised concierge wellness services and experience the healing the island provides. Incorporating it into our marketing ensures that our guests know that Maui Healing Retreat has set a high standard for our organisation in our commitment to provide a safe, comfortable place to restore and harmonise. The way we see it, winning Hawaii’s Best Wellness Retreat is monumental in encouraging people to make their physical, mental and emotional health a priority in the years ahead. This is what brings us the ultimate joy. BiT: How would you describe the mood in the United States tourism market currently – is the recovery underway from the Covid-19 pandemic?
We all have had a chance to reimagine how we are serving clients and what’s truly important for our communities. The Covid-19 pandemic has also raised public awareness of the many dimensions of wellness, including specific pandemicdriven stressors like illness, grief, and social isolation.
We believe this increased awareness will drive the desire to explore, heal, and experience community: the effect, a bounceback for tourism. We look forward to welcoming our guests in the year ahead as we continue to expand and enhance our offerings.
