Winners of the 2022 Irish Tatler Wellbeing & Spa Awards revealed

The winners of the 2022 Irish Tatler Wellbeing & Spa Awards were announced during a ceremony at Dublin’s Marker Hotel this week.

The awards, first staged in 2009, are designed to highlight excellence and innovation in Ireland’s wellness and spa industries. Winners today included Eden One in Dublin 4 (Best Day Spa), The Handmade Soap Company (Best Product Line), Monart Destination Spa (the Service Excellence Award), Ground Wellbeing (Best Self-Care Brand) and Rachel O’Malley of Hayfield Manor (Best Therapist 2022).

Irish Tatler Editor Jessie Collins said: “The Irish Tatler Wellness & Spa awards offer those working in the spa and wellness industries the opportunity to raise their profile and to recognise exceptional team members.

Guests enjoyed a lunch prepared exclusively for the occasion by the Marker executive chef Gareth Mullins, and delicious red, white and rosé wine by Villa Maria.

Winner of the Self-Care Brand of the year Peigín Crowley of Ground Wellbeing said: “Our industry, which suffered such a blow has been celebrated today to such stunning effect. Those working in wellness make it their business to mind other people, making it extra special that we are honoured by these awards.”
