Nominations

Luxury spas can self-nominate or be nominated by guests, travel agents or tour operators for consideration in the World Luxury Spa Awards, which is made possible by the nomination facility on our website. Constant feedback from guests about their experience at a property allows us to evaluate the respective spas to qualify them for participation. The successfully qualifying spas are then formally invited (or accepted) to participate and register in the awards initiative. Official nominees will automatically be invited to register in the following year’s award season at a preferential rate.
