Gwinganna Lifestyle Resort nominated as World’s Best Eco Spa

In the upcoming World Spa Awards 2020, Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in the Gold Coast Hinterland has been nominated as the World’s Best Eco Spa.

As well as being the only Queensland nominee, this recognition joins its recent achievement of Green Travel Leader status for Ecotourism Australia.

The spa’s environmental efforts include the wide use of reclaimed timbers, an extensive water and wastewater management program, on-site organic gardens and full registration as Land for Wildlife.

Gwinganna is also believed to be the only Australian spa involved in the translocation of rescue animals through its Gwinganna’s Wildlife Survival Program, including koalas and enchidnas. 

"The first half of the year has presented our industry with an unprecedented challenge. However, we have been overwhelmed by the resilience of spa and wellness organisations across the world, with many now restarting operations and getting back on track," said World Spa Awards Managing Director, Rebecca Cohen.

"The aim of World Spa Awards has always been to serve and support our industry. We acknowledge that now, more than ever before, is the time for all of us to unite, support one another, and recognise those organisations that are leading the recovery."

Gwinganna is also nominated as Australia’s Best Wellness Spa. Voting is open until 30 September 2020.
