Destination Spa: Holistic Spa, Kamalaya Koh Samui, Thailand

The Asian Spa Awards for 2008, which are in their fourth year of celebrating and are organized by AsiaSpa magazine were held in Hong Kong in the middle of this month. Not surprisingly, Thailand took most of the awards for best spas which are judged in terms of innovation and quality by 29 independent judges. For Destination Spa of the Year, the award went to the Holistic Spa at the Kamalaya resort on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand.
