Destination Deluxe Awards honor the 2021 winners

An immaculate celebration for wellness and travel, the Destination Deluxe Awards 2021 honored the best retreats, hotels, spas, treatments, and skincare products around the globe.

On the evening of October 27, the W Hong Kong hotel was transformed into a royal palace where nominees, industry insiders, and honored guests alike all fancied up for the much-anticipated evening.

With 22 well-acclaimed names deliberated as the winners, the splendid evening saw over 100 leading wellness and travel professionals gathering to pay tribute to the winners who have advanced the quality and have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional service and satisfaction for their guests.

Bespoke travelers, wellness specialists, and admirers from around the world also had the opportunity to tune in to the livestream that was broadcast to people around the globe and virtually participate in the spectacular evening.

“The last two years have been exceptionally challenging, with many unexpected changes to our daily lives, interactions with travel for business or leisure, and our appreciation for wellness,” says Vivienne Tang, CEO & Founder of Destination Deluxe, “but the evening of the awards was a revival of being together – it was extremely refreshing to return alongside new and familiar brands who could celebrate alongside us, and even walk away with an award.”
