The first ever live-streamed virtual World Spa & Wellness Awards ceremony took place on 16 November, bestowing accolades on 15 spas and wellness resorts around the globe.
Organised by the UK-based Professional Beauty Group, the World Spa & Wellness Awards is the most prestigious ceremony event on the spa calendar.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this year’s event was held virtually and saw spa professionals from across the world tune in to celebrate excellence within the industry.
“There’s no denying it’s been a tough year for many of us, and it’s my absolute pleasure to celebrate the achievements, the passion and the human spirit of all the people working in the spa and wellness business around the world,” said Mark Moloney, managing director of Professional Beauty.
These awards recognise and celebrate the best hotel, resort and destination spas around the world who provide excellent care, standards of service and treatment delivery.
