World Spa & Wellness Awards announce winners for 2023

Recognising excellence in the global spa industry, the World Spa & Wellness Awards 2023 held its gala dinner at The Brewery, London on Sunday, March 5.

Launched in 2012 to recognise and reward the outstanding work carried out by spas across the globe, the World Spa & Wellness Awards aims to inspire spas and raise global industry standards.

This year saw winners named across 11 categories, recognising all aspects of the spa and wellness industry. 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.”

The event, hosted by TV presenter Anton Du Beke, recognised Kamalaya Koh Samui Wellness Sanctuary & Holistic Spa as Worldwide Health & Wellness Destination of the Year, the event’s highest accolade.
