Spas in the Lake District, Cornwall, Yorkshire, Wiltshire, The New Forest, London and the Midlands have all won accolades in the Good Spa Awards 2021. The Good Spa Guide – the UK’s leading authority on the spa industry - last night unveiled the results of its 11th annual awards, which included a new category: Best Coastal Spa.
 
Following another challenging year of uncertainty, the awards celebrate the very best in spa excellence across the UK and how they play an increasingly vital role in supporting our health and wellbeing. Winners in all eight categories were announced during the Spa Life UK’s annual conference in Bedfordshire.

“After the past 16 months, it seems people can't wait to get back to their much-loved spas and finally unravel.  We saw a huge boom in spa staycations bookings - notably from the countryside and coastal spa sector – and want to celebrate these categories in particular”, Caitlin Dalton, Editor-in-Chief, Good Spa Guide.
