Ohlala Spa & Wellness Awards Bahrain 2025

This year, we presented our eighth Ohlala Spa & Wellness Awards Bahrain. The annual event celebrates the success of the exceptional venues and services offered in the wellness and beauty field in the country.

We hosted our glamorous ceremony by the pool at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa with our selected guests, partners and winners. The awards were given out amongst people enjoying joyful conversations, fantastic beats and delightful bites, with much recognition for those who have provided the best of the best in the well-being sector on the island in the past year. We had 349 nominations in 29 categories, plus the much anticipated Spa of the Year award. Around 52,000 votes were counted, showcasing the importance of our Ohlala Awards to our community.

This year, we had a few new categories such as Beauty Uplift, which is all about enhancing lashes, brows and more, Laser Treatments, from skin therapies to hair removal, Beach Club and Regional Retreat, that we are very proud to launch as it represents our reach in the region. In this category, we feature destinations around the Gulf that offer wellness escapes that we had the opportunity to experience.

The Spa of the Year is granted to a destination that encompasses many of the categories with mastery. From meticulous design and spa products to various treatments and transformative experiences. A place that embraces holistic rituals but also offers cutting-edge skincare in a luxurious yet welcoming space. The chosen spa needs to provide consistency, a wide menu, skilled therapists and top-notch facilities, and it must stand out above others for its outstanding performance.

There are two winners in each category: Favourite is decided by an online vote while our editorial panel and industry experts choose Best. This resulted in 59 winners taking home the title of Best, Favourite and Spa of the Year. These nominees cover the entire spa and wellness industry spectrum, ranging from hotel and standalone spas, spa products and beauty/grooming salons to health clubs and wellness retreats.
