Best Spas
AsiaSpa Awards 2009 13 November 2009 - Last night the winners
of the fifth AsiaSpa Awards, presented by AsiaSpa
magazine, the region's most recognised spa and wellness publication, were announced
and honoured at a glittering evening in Hong Kong. Celebrating the best in innovation
and quality in spas around the region, the 27 categories voted on by 28 independent
judges were won by spas, spa personalities, associations and resorts that have
set the benchmarks for quality and service in the region.
It was a night
of glitz and glamour as Asia's spa community came together to celebrate its finest.
Themed "La Belle Époque", the event saw guests dressed to the
nines in their most elegant 1920s fashion. Women dressed in their finest feathers,
jewels and silky dresses, while the men came in fedoras, vests and suits.
The big winners of the night included Thailand which won for "Destination
Spa of the Year" for Six Senses Destination Spa Phuket as well as "Asian
Spa Capital of the Year". Green T. House in Beijing also won for "Day
Spa of the Year" as well as "Spa Design of the Year". "Spa
Event of the Year" went to the Global Spa Summit held at Interlaken, Switzerland.
In the first year for the category "Best Children's Spa Menu of the Year",
the Ice Cream Spa at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island emerged as the category's
debut winner.
"The year has been a particularly tough one for the
spa and wellness industry, yet some spas, brands and resorts have come out even
stronger than before. The highly respected ASA are there to recognise the very
best of the best and push forward the whole industry to higher standards."
said Olivier Burlot, Managing Director of Blu Inc Media.
"Asia currently
has the largest number of spas under development of any region in the world, a
fact that is reflected in the magazine's pages," said AsiaSpa's Editor-in-Chief,
Rebecca Walker. "We are looking forward to an exciting 2010."
Hosted
at Hong Kong's classy Armani Bar, guests enjoyed buffet treats and musical beats

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
