Featuring spas from around the world selected and tested by Condé Nast Traveller’s experts, and combining this with the booking knowledge of Healing Holidays, the Spa Guide will allow users to tailor their search for a spa using destinations they are interested in and the type of treatments they are looking for. With filters, users will be able to shortlist and discover the best spa for them, as well as being just one click away from booking online.
With categories including “A Hit of Sunshine”, “Anti-Ageing”, “Getting Fit”, “Losing Weight” and “Detoxing” the new Spa Guide online will provide users with details of luxury spas around the world that fit their requirements. There will be in-depth reviews and advice about each property, plus deals and special offers.
Containing spas from the 2013 and 2014 Condé Nast Traveller Spa Guide, including the award-winners from the 2013 and 2014 Spa Awards, the Spa Guide will initially feature around 60 of the world’s spas, with further additions to be made over the coming months.
Melinda Stevens, Editor of Condé Nast Traveller says: “It’s a hugely exciting step forward for us to be able to present our significant spa savvy in this dynamic way. Now readers from our huge online audience can quickly find the right trip for their needs – whether burnt out, or suffering from insomnia, whether they need to lose weight or tap into the top therapists in the world. Most crucially they can then instantly book their trip via the incredibly slick Healing Holidays. I think this partnership and this project puts us at the top of the spa game.”
Tony Cross, Executive Editor, CNTraveller.com adds, “With a focus on spas that really make a difference, the Spa Guide is the authoritative online guide to luxury spa retreats and wellness programmes around the world. It helps visitors find the right spa for them. Launched in association with spa experts Healing Holidays, the Spa Guide forms one part of a new-look CNTraveller.com, which will help us continue to grow at pace our digital audience looking for luxury travel inspiration online.”
