As independent spa experts we're always being asked for our spa recommendations. We also receive a large amount of feedback and comments from spa-goers across the UK. For this reason, we've split this year's awards into two – national awards, with the winners chosen by the Good Spa Spies, and regional awards, which will be decided by reader votes.
Visit www.goodspaawards.com to see the full list of nominees.
National awards: Spas nominated for a national award have been selected by our expert panel of Good Spa Spies. The 45 finalists have been chosen from the many spas we've reviewed over the last year, spanning the length and breadth of the UK. Winners will be decided by the Good Spa Spies. The national categories are as follows:
· Best day spa
· Best hotel spa
· Best destination spa
· Customer service
· Marvellous massage
· Finest Facial
· Best product
Regional reader awards: Spas nominated for a regional award have all been reviewed by The Good Spa Guide. They have received the highest bubble ratings in their respective region. For each region, the spa with the highest number of reader votes will be crowned winner.
