Sandals Resorts’ Red Lane® Spa, which is well-known for its award-winning ambience and pampering, took home the award for “outstanding spa/wellness facility at the recent Tourism Enhancement Fund’s inaugural Excellence in Health and Wellness Tourism Awards.

“We are thrilled and truly honoured to be recognized for excellence in a field that we are so passionate
about.” shared Stacey Spooner, Sandals Resorts International’s corporate manager, spa and fitness.

“It is more than an award to us, it’s a celebration of the dedication and care we pour into every wellness
journey, making each moment special for each guest that we have the pleasure to serve,” she added.

The spa model, which is unique to the brand, was conceptualised in 2004 by founder Gordon “Butch” Stewart and has, over the years, amassed several awards for its holistic and authentically Caribbean approach to wellness.

Speaking at the Health and Wellness Tourism Conference, Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett made note of the prospects for economic growth within the global industry now valued at an estimated US$4.3 trillion.

With the recent upsurge in travellers placing importance on more holistic lifestyles, there are countless opportunities for growth and investment in wellness tourism across the Caribbean region.
