UAE spas shine in world awards
Two spas from the United Arab Emirates scooped top accolades at the World Spa and Wellness Awards 2014.
ShiQui Spa and Fitness at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai and The Banyan Tree Spa Al Wadi in Ras Al Khaimah both celebrated wins at a glitzy awards ceremony held in London’s Guildhall on February 23.
The awards, organised by Professional Beauty, were launched in 2012 to celebrate spa excellence around the globe and raise industry standards.
ShiQui came first in the Hotel Spa of The Year: Middle East category and The Banyan Tree in the Destination Spa of The Year: Middle East and Africa category.
Both spas were visited by two judges – an official judge and mystery shopper – and were scrutinised, by a further eight judges, on a variety of criteria from customer service to treatment performance.
