The Ananda Spa at Ananda in the Himalayas, India, came top in the worldwide Destination Spas category, followed by Chiva-Som International Health Resort in Hua Hin, Thailand and the Spa Hôtel Royal, Evian Royal Resort at Evian-les-Bains in France.
Elsewhere, Chewton Glen in Hampshire came top in the UK Leisure Hotels category with The Dorchester in London named as the top UK Business Hotel.
