East Day Spa wins at the World Spa Awards, and creates a treatment just for Diwali

Aotearoa’s premium destination for luxury facial experiences, transformative massage, full body relaxation and more, East Day Spa at SKYCITY Grand Hotel has been officially recognised as New Zealand’s Best Hotel Spa 2024 at the World Spa Awards. Congratulations, and so well deserved!
Highlighting gold standard properties in the spa industry across the globe, the World Spa Awards serves to celebrate and reward excellence in all areas of spa and wellness tourism, inspiring exceptional standards and connecting spa consumers with some of the most incredible destinations and experiences around the world. Previous winners across several categories, East Day Spa is renowned for being a favourite with spa aficionados both local and international and the team is proud to be recognised once again for their dedication to spa excellence.

“We are beyond honoured to have been recognised by the World Spa Awards once again for our work,” says the inspirational Ina Bajaj, founder and director, East Day Spa and Spring Spa. “We aim to deliver only the best at every touch point, and feel truly honoured to sit alongside some of the world’s most premium spas and wellness destinations as winners in the 2024 awards line-up. East Day Spa is the perfect complement to SKYCITY Grand Hotel’s five star plus offering, and we love bringing our unique and inspiring treatment menu to hotel guests and locals alike.”
Boasting a series of carefully curated spaces in which clients can find rest and rejuvenation on a whole other level, the spa’s recent design-forward transformation offer an oasis of calm right in the heart of New Zealand’s busiest city. Curved accents and luxurious, imported materials mix together to create a spa destination like no other, with state-of-the-art facilities such as a Tepidarium sporting Italian stone-heated loungers and a designated sauna space in which to unwind pre-treatment.
I personally love that the team at East Day Spa is always innovating, creating new treatments and adding in fresh modalities which always keep things interesting for lucky regulars like me. The latest to arrive on the menu was created especially for the Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and is dubbed the Kansa Wand Facial for its inclusion of the traditional beauty tool.
Originating in India, the Kansa wand is a powerful tool designed to detoxify and rejuvenate the skin. Using the Kansa, this facial offers a range of benefits, including the release of tension in the face and mind, lymphatic drainage, and detoxification. The cooling properties of the metal help reduce puffiness and restore the skin's pH balance, making it ideal for sensitive skin and those prone to acne, inflammation, fine lines, and wrinkles. A blissful 90 minutes long, this treatment guarantees that you leave walking on air – and ready to find your light!
