Tara Moore, head of spa operations for Galgorm, said: “We are thrilled to have enjoyed such incredible success on a global stage as part of the World Luxury Awards and the Conde Nast Johansens Awards in recognition of our significant investment, our focus on delivering an unrivalled customer experience, not least all the hard work and dedication of our talented team at Galgorm.

“To receive recognition on this scale against such strong international competition not only reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in every area but also to enriching the tourism industry of Northern Ireland.”

Named Global Award Winner for Best Luxury Spa Resort, the resort’s Thermal Spa Village also took home the top awards for Best Luxury Resort and Best Luxury Spa Resort in Northern Europe.

It was also named Best Luxury Riverside Resort across the continent, Best Luxury Resort Spa and Best Luxury Golf Resort Spa in the UK and the Best Destination Spa 2024 at the Conde Nast Johansens Awards.
