The awards acknowledged service excellence, commitments and innovation in South Africa and over 100 entrants were received in the three categories, Destination Spas, Resort Spas and Day Spas.
Each applicant had to submit a 'Spa Portfolio' for evaluation by a panel of 5 judges and the awards were designed to stimulate a desire for service excellence among South African health spas in a growing local and international market. The winner was Pezula.
Vice Chairman of Thanda, Pierre Delvaux commented, "It's an enormous achievement for Thanda as we have been open for just over 1 year. What made Thanda one of the top 5 was due to the 5-star accommodation, facilities, the wellness centre design, the unique Thanda signature treatments and professionalism of staff as well as service excellence. Debbie Merjan -CEO and owner of Camelot Consultancy must be congratulated for the outstanding portfolio presentation that she compiled on behalf of Thanda.
