In 2005, the SpaAsia Crystal Awards return bigger, better and bolder than the first in honouring the industry's premier spa brands and legends.

The inaugural Spa Asia Crystal Awards presented in September 2004 was a tremendous success that for the first time, honoured the many significant milestones made in the spa and wellness industry. In 2005, we have improved the nomination categories, and made the selection and judging process more rigorous to bring this year's awards to a new paradigm of distinction.
Here, we are proud to announce the nominees for our SpaAsia Crystal Awards 2005. Do your part in voting for the best and we shall see you at the 2005 SpaAsia Crystal Awards Gala evening on SEP 22 during the SpaAsia Wellness Summit, where the coveted award will be presented.
