Once again Spa Ceylon, Sri Lanka’s premier spa lifestyle brand, has been recognized for their exceptional innovation and service in the international spa industry by being nominated for the World Luxury Spa Awards, for Service Excellence for the year 2013. The World Luxury Spa Awards promote official spa participants amongst 141 countries for a period of one year in order to create maximum awareness. “We have been nominated to receive an Award in the Luxury Ayurveda Spa Category for Service Excellence and we are indeed gratified that once again Spa Ceylon has put Sri Lanka on the international map”, said Managing Director Spa Ceylon, Shiwantha Dias.

Backed by substantial marketing and promotional campaigns, The World Luxury Spa Awards promotes its participants on a global scale by means of an online spa profile hosted by the World Luxury Hotel Awards website, featuring in the Ultimate Spa Guide and media coverage, as well as networking opportunities with the established sponsors and partners. To ultimately raise service standards within the Luxury Spa industry and to create awareness in the global market is the ultimate goal of these awards.

“To provide luxury spas with well-deserved recognition based upon votes from guests, provide the possibility of a fresh stream of spa customers, providing spas with extra credibility as well as giving staff the recognition they deserve thus improving staff morale is the aim of these awards”, said Ms Marinique de Wet, Director of World Luxury Spa Awards.

“Spa Ceylon’s guests could vote for us online. Votes will be based on service. No other areas will be taken into consideration other than excellent service delivery”, said Dias. Spa Ceylon combines the romance of old Ceylon with ancient Ayurveda wisdom in their extensive range of all-natural high performance products for Skin, Hair, Body and Wellness. The hallmark of luxury Ayurveda, Spa Ceylon Spas offer extensive spa menus consisting of more than 25 carefully designed Spa Ceylon signature treatments, inspired by Sri Lanka’s rich Ayurveda heritage and centuries old Ceylonese royal health and wellbeing rituals, practiced in the grand palaces of ancient Ceylon. Every detail of each Spa Ceylon Spa and Ritual has been thoughtfully designed and detailed to perfection, to ensure guests receive a totally fulfilling and relaxing spa experience like no other.
