World Spa Awards has touched down at Forte Village Resort in Sardinia, Italy, ahead of the 2016 Gala Ceremony.

The event will take place alongside the World Travel Awards Europe Gala Ceremony 2016 and visits Europe for the first time after debuting in Vietnam last year.

Both events will take place on the evening of September 4th at the world-class resort, welcoming hundreds of hospitality leaders from across the region and around the world.

World Spa Awards President Graham Cooke said: “With just two days to go until the World Spa Awards Gala Ceremony 2016 we are putting the finishing touches to our preparations.

“It will be a pleasure to also welcome the leaders of the international spa and wellness industry to Forte Village Resort as we host the World Spa Awards Gala Ceremony.”

Forte Village Resort is the perfect host for the dual-event.

The world renowned location stands in a unique 47 hectares tropical park setting on the beautiful south coast of Sardinia, approximately 40 kilometres from Cagliari airport.

The resort is a world of its own, with a wide choice of four and five star hotels, beachfront suites and villas, restaurants, pools, sports activities, children's clubs and entertainment, on a magnificent beach where guests can be as active or relaxed as they wish.
