Dorset based Spa & Wellbeing business wins Silver in SW Tourism Awards

Dorset based Yoga teacher and Holistic Therapist Saira Francis had reason to celebrate on Thursday night (1 February) when her business Mellulah Therapy & Yoga scooped the South West Tourism Silver Award in the Spa & Wellbeing Experience of the Year at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Torquay.

Mellulah, which offers retreats across Rural Dorset, was the only Dorset business in this category to have reached the South West final and was up against some very well-known names in the Spa and Wellbeing sector. www.mellulah.co.uk

Running since 2011, this approachable business won Gold in the 2017/18 Dorset Tourism Awards, a particularly impressive feat as it was the first time Mellulah had ever entered the Awards. The judges made a special mention of Saira's ability to create a warm and inviting environment for retreaters to relax and let go of daily stresses.

They were really impressed to discover Saira's "holistic and traditional approach to yoga that caters for all abilities alongside healthy, locally sourced vegan meals and blissful meditation and relaxation, in beautiful quiet settings around North and West Dorset."

With five businesses vying for Gold, Silver and Bronze in this popular sector, including Peter de Savary's Cary Arms in Devon and last year's Silver winners Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa in Wiltshire, Saira said she was honoured to be among such well-known names.

The judges will have examined all aspects of what's on offer, and with glowing testimonials from clients like Catty Lowsley-Williams from Blandford who commented, "Mellulah yoga is some of the best yoga I have found anywhere. I have been lucky enough to practice yoga all over the world with some wonderful yogis. Saira is unquestionably one of the best teachers I've encountered. She has huge integrity and humility. How lucky I am to have found her," there is no doubting that Mellulah provides a fantastic customer experience.

As well as running day and weekend residential retreats, Saira Francis offers regular weekly yoga classes in and around the Blandford area and additional holistic therapy and spa days.
