What’s better than relaxing at a spa, knowing that the planet is benefiting as much as you are? Wellness and mindfulness don’t have to come at the expense of our planet, and sustainability is something more and more spas and hotels are prioritising. Whether building the most energy-efficient rooms or conserving local biodiversity, many sustainability-focused spas are doing their part to minimise their carbon footprint. Here are some of the best sustainable spas in the world, vying for the coveted title of ‘Favourite Eco Spa: Global’ for the upcoming GlobalSpa Awards on September 13, 2023, that will not only offer a luxurious getaway and indulgence but also help restore the world.
