survey conducted by Conde Nast Traveller, one of the world’s
leading travel publications. Readers voted for spas around
the world based on their satisfaction with the ambience,
décor, amenities, body and facial treatments, cuisine,
exercise programmes and service quality. Angsana Spa Double

it in the sixth position, ahead of Agua Spa at Miami’s
Delano Hotel, s.k.i.n The Wellness Spa in Cape Town, The
