The sixth annual Destination Deluxe Awards recently took place in Bangkok, Thailand, to honour the industry leaders, innovators and destinations shaping the future of wellness, beauty and luxury travel.

The ceremony was held at The Salil Hotel Riverside and recognised achievements in 25 categories. Winners were decided by a panel of experienced judges drawn from across the spa and wellness industry.

Additionally, three People’s Choice Awards were presented, with nearly 60,000 votes cast.

Among the evening’s biggest winners were Chiva-Som’s Zulal Wellness Resort, which clinched the title of Wellness Retreat of the Year, and the Original Mayr Resort, crowned Medi-Spa of the Year.
