Burnley’s Woodland Spa earns top title at World Luxury Spa Awards

The Woodland Spa has collected the global winner award at the World Luxury Spa Awards at the Harbour Grand Hotel in Hong Kong.

The Burnley-based Spa had been nominated in the World’s Best Emerging Luxury Spa category, which it won. Then a global winner was chosen from 22 categories and The Woodland Spa came out on top.

“We are delighted to have challenged outdated stereotypes about Burnley and the North generally. Cobbled streets and mill chimneys may be our heritage, but we are seeing off competition from established luxury spa destinations from as far afield as Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, the Seychelles, Mauritius and Australia.

The criteria applied by the World Luxury Spa Awards to assist nominating parties and industry experts during the voting process include conformance to 5 star requirements; conformance to specification; 5 star amenities, surroundings and service; and qualified, committed and experienced staff.

Marna Lourens, executive manager of the World Luxury Spa Awards, said: “It is with great pleasure that we can celebrate a highly successful 2015 World Luxury Spa Awards’ and we congratulate our overall Global Winner, The Woodland Spa from Burnley in the UK. As a luxury emerging spa amongst the world’s best, this is a truly remarkable achievement and we believe that the business will prosper and grow.” Since the £4.5m investment in The Woodland Spa in 2013, Crow Wood has doubled its number of staff to 160, the business’ catering arm serves 7,500 covers per month and the business will exceed sales of £5.6m of in 2014/15.
