The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles has been voted one of the Top 10 Favourite New Getaway Spas in SpaFinder’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2010. Spa-goers cast a record number of votes in the eighth annual Awards, which are considered the most thorough and independent assessment of spas worldwide.

“Winning a Readers’ Choice Award is a remarkable achievement,” said Susie Ellis, president of SpaFinder, Inc. “Spa-goers are looking for a spa that offers their desired experience and helps them meet their specific goals. There are over 15,000 destination, resort and hotel spas around the world, and to be singled out by our readers is a tremendous honour.”

Also featured in Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot List Spas 2010, the Spa at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is a haven of serenity perched 80 metres (262 feet) above the idyllic Petite Anse Bay. Five individual treatment pavilions high in the tropical canopy reflect the Resort’s treetop design, with soaring ocean and jungle views that elevate guests to a higher state of being even before their treatment has begun. Therapies inspired by ancient Indian and Asian traditions are enhanced by indigenous practices, local herbs and spices, and all-natural products by Ila and Sodashi. The Spa also offers a dedicated Junior Spa Menu that uses a gentle, natural approach to help guests as young as six develop an early understanding of holistic healing.

Readers’ Choice Award winners will be featured in the NewBeauty SpaFinder Guide to Global Spa, Wellness & Beauty, which will be on newsstands in November.
