About
Organised by the Professional Beauty group, the programme covers regional Spa of the Year categories and specialist recognition such as sustainability, teams, leaders, wellness destinations. It is distinct from the separately operated World Spa Awards.
Selection Process
Entries are reviewed by an independent panel of spa and wellness professionals. Judges score individually, combined scores determine up to six finalists, conflict controls prevent operators from judging categories they enter. Some specialist categories add a second-round interview. Pearl does not judge entries and only maps published results to location records.
Significance
Its professional judging process gives the programme value as an industry-assessed signal of operational quality. Pearl keeps it separate from similarly named public-vote programmes.
