Carisma Spa & Wellness has been awarded with a World Luxury Spa Award 2016 during a recent spa and restaurant gala event for the best operators in the world at the exquisite 5-star Grand Kronenhof Pontresina next to St Moritz in Switzerland.

Carisma, famous for its exclusive treatments with its flagship Hammam, the first and only Turkish Hammam in Malta, is present in Malta at the 5-star InterContinental Malta and the 4-star hotels Seashells at Suncrest and Qawra Palace.

There were 389 participating spas vying for their category award at the Worlds. The Overall Global Winner was the Portugal-based Sayanna Wellness, EPIC SANA Algarve. As a luxury resort and fitness spa with a focus on wellness, Sayanna is one of the leaders in achieving total life transformation, wellbeing and longevity.

“After decades of operating luxury spas in different countries, it is indeed emotional for Carisma to be recognized as a World Luxury Spa,” said Mustafa and Bilgi Gulen, founders and directors of Carisma Spa & Wellness International. “Special thanks go to our dedicated staff, who we source from all over the world to ensure the best practices in different treatments and train them constantly to keep them updated with the latest developments in wellness. We also acknowledge the loyalty of our Maltese and foreign clients, some of who travel specifically to benefit from our high standard spa treatments in a climate like Malta’s. It is also very satisfying to put Malta on the map with our spa as a destination which offers best-in-class wellness opportunities.”

Maintaining and awarding the highest standards within the global luxury spa sector remains our primary goal, said a spokesperson for the World Luxury Spa Awards. This motto is reflected in our distinguished list of prestigious winners, some of which have been part of our Luxury Awards family for many years. We would like to give the guest a feeling of security when booking a World Luxury Spa Award-recognised spa as their first preference.
