ABOUT World Luxury Spa Awards
Established in 2010, World Luxury Spa Awards is the pinnacle of achievement in the luxury spa industry, offering international recognition as voted for by guests, travellers and industry players alike.
Over 100 000 international travellers vote each year, during a three week period to select the winners.
Luxury spas have the opportunity to participate in the World Luxury Spa Awards by entering into categories that showcase their unique selling points and destinations.
Luxury spas of all shapes and sizes participate in a range of different categories on a country, regional, continent, and global level.
Why enter our awards?
Participation alone delivers brand growth. As an official participant, each spa receives a fully comprehensive website profile, along with a digital marketing service and promotional campaign toolkit to ensure maximum exposure on all marketing platforms. Winning a World Luxury Spa Award will not only inspire the confidence of guests and retain a loyal clientele in this highly competitive market, but it will also stimulate continuous growth and development of your spa.
How was my spa nominated?
The website is visited by spa goers, travellers, tour operators and hospitality experts with the goal to discover, promote or book their next luxury wellness visit. We provide our website visitors with the service to give feedback about their spa experience and officially nominate a luxury spa or wellness facility that they feel should be participating in the World Luxury Spa Awards. Once a property has been nominated, it is evaluated by our team to ensure that the property adheres to luxury standards in terms of facilities, services, décor/interior, public image and guest reviews. If successfully evaluated, the spa then has the option to accept the nomination and formally register to participate in the awards.
