“The spa and wellness sector is a multi-million dollar industry and we are lucky enough to have some of the world’s very best wellness retreats in the UAE capital – this is what we wanted to recognise. To share a mutual support between the media and the health and wellbeing industry is truly amazing,” he explained.
“I would like to congratulate all the winners, and give a huge shout out to every single nominee. Without you all, this wouldn’t have been possible for the second-year running. We thank everyone who came out and helped us to commend the best and favourites in the spa and wellness game, and we’ll be back next year with even more spaces bringing their A-game,” he said.
