The Spa Traveller Awards · Celebrating exceptional spas
Recognising Spa Destinations Worth Travelling For
The Spa Traveller Awards celebrate exceptional destinations where outstanding service, authentic wellness and a true sense of place come together to create a memorable escape.
Editorially independent. Awards cannot be bought, and commercial partnerships do not influence our decisions. The winners archive records earlier awards rather than a current ranking.
Our core standards
What Makes an Award-Winner?
Excellence is more than a long list of facilities. We consider how welcoming a spa feels, how smoothly it runs and whether it offers a genuinely meaningful experience.
A Distinct Sense of Place
A great spa reflects its landscape, culture and surroundings, offering something you could not experience in quite the same way elsewhere.
Thoughtful Service & Personal Care
From a warm welcome to thoughtful consultations and considerate care, we value teams who make guests feel comfortable, listened to and respected.
Purposeful Wellbeing
We look for treatments and facilities with a clear purpose, explained honestly without unrealistic health promises.
Unforgettable Details
Exceptional design, nourishing food, quiet places to unwind and thoughtful little touches can make an escape truly memorable.
