The luxurious spa at Queenstown’s five-star Millbrook Resort has been named the best of the best, taking out the coveted title of ‘New Zealand’s Leading Spa Resort’ at the World Travel Awards.

Known the world over as one of the most picturesque resorts in the world, Millbrook is no stranger to winning awards, having garnered multiple accolades over the years for its five-star luxury accommodation, world-class 27-hole golf course and restaurants.

Millbrook’s unrivalled setting – babbling streams and snow-capped mountains provide a stunning backdrop.

And it continues to lead the way by shrugging off stiff national competition to be named as New Zealand’s Leading Spa Resort. The World Travel Awards, celebrating its 21st anniversary this year, acknowledges, rewards and celebrates excellence across all sectors of the global travel and tourism industry, with half a million votes cast annually by travel professionals and high-end travellers.

Nestled in a blend of luxury and nature, The Spa at Millbrook prides itself on pampering, soothing and rejuvenating all guests during their stay, delivering only the finest, most energising experience.

Staying at Millbrook is like immersing yourself in another world -- guests can step out of their hotel room, stylish apartment or fairway home right onto the golf course. It’s an easy stroll down to The Spa at Millbrook for a treatment to soothe away the stresses of busy lives.
Spa Manager Vicky Bate said it was “a huge privilege” to win the award.

“We’re delighted to have received such recognition and are very thankful for the support that’s been demonstrated for this major award,” she said.

“Winning this award is an absolute honour and I want to thank the Millbrook Spa team for their dedication and commitment in ensuring our guests experience the magic that Millbrook offers.

“Millbrook prides itself on providing spa guests with the finest in service, ambience and innovation, ensuring a memorable and rewarding experience.  Our aim is always for each and every spa guest to leave Millbrook feeling very special indeed.

“The World Travel Awards recognise the very ‘best of the best’ in quality and service, so to win this and be acknowledged as the best in New Zealand is a tremendous achievement for the team.”

World Travel Awards President and founder Graham Cooke said it was with “tremendous pride” that the trophy for New Zealand’s Leading Spa Resort had been presented to Millbrook Resort.

“This is the fourth consecutive year the property has been recognised by the World Travel Awards’ voters, suggesting the resort continues to be a shining example to its competitors in the region,” he said.

As a regional winner in Asia and Australasia, Millbrook now moves forward to the World Travel Awards Grand Final in Marrakech, Morocco in November.

Millbrook’s setting is unrivalled in New Zealand – a thriving resort set amid 500 acres of lush green fairways, rolling hills, babbling streams and surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
While guests enjoy the tranquillity of the resort, and the opportunity to walk or bike around its grounds, they also relish the fact that it’s within a 20-minute drive of Queenstown, Australasia’s leading year-round destination.
