The 6th, annual Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Spa Awards hosted by Les Nouvelles Esthetiques South Africa, in association with Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Paris, was held in Johannesburg this week. The Spa at The Oyster Box was the winner in the category, Hotel Spa’s for 2010. The Spa also received a special mention for being the only spa ever to receive 100% on both rounds of judging.
The Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Spa Awards are the most prestigious spa awards in the country, providing the South African and international spa visitor with recommendations and a comprehensive choice of award-winning spas, within South Africa.
“Each year the level of the competition increases, as the finest spas in South Africa are represented and the judging process becomes more difficult,” said Dr Nadine de Freitas, managing editor, Les Nouvelles Esthetiques South Africa. “The distinguishing factor of all the winning spas this year, was the absolute attention to detail, impeccable spa standards and faultless service excellence, ensuring each spa experience was beyond the client’s expectations,” Dr de Freitas added.
The Spa at The Oyster Box is a fusion of the hotel’s historical character combined with a modern experience delivery. It is a natural, elegant extension of the hotel and its tropical garden environment, situated on the shores of the Indian Ocean.
