Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles has been designated because of its ultra-luxurious, US$300 La Prairie facial which was named the world’s best spa treatment 2016 at the World Spa Awards. At the sophomore edition of the event, held jointly with the World Travel Awards Europe in Sardinia over the past weekend, industry leaders and travel experts gathered to recognize the very best spa destinations world wide.
The planet’s Greatest Spa Reviews For 2016
For $290, guests of The Beverly Hills hotel can pamper themselves with what’s been deemed the world’s best signature treatment for 2016: a 60-minute facial which uses La Prairie’s White Caviar Collection made with rare golden caviar extracts.
The promise? Even skin tone, firm and hydrated skin as well as a smoother, illuminated complexion.
Meanwhile, the Maldives was named the world’s best spa spot for offering a range of luxurious services and restorative wellness programs in a paradisiacal setting.
Traditional healing techniques also are used at Maldivian spas, including massages that use locally-extracted coconut palm tree oil and white sand to reduce anxiety and stimulate blood circulation.
Overall, the results of the awards suggest that the very best experiences can be found in the Middle East, which took nine of the 24 category wins.
