The European Pool and Spa Awards, organised annually by the European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations (EUSA), honour the most exceptional residential pools, spas, and hot tubs within the Wet Leisure Industry. Each year, winners from across Europe compete for top recognition in this prestigious event.
Following the 2024 awards ceremony, Europe's most stunning swimming pool builds and hot tub installations have been revealed. This marks the 12th edition of these esteemed awards, with the announcements being made on Tuesday, November 19th, at Piscine Global in Lyon.
SPATA are delighted to announce that Centurion Leisure, based in Essex, has won a Bronze award in the Domestic Spas category.
BISHTA is also delighted to announce that SpaFlo, based in Cheshire, has been awarded a Silver in the Domestic Hot Tubs category.
In the 2024 competition, 218 pools from 12 countries participated: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the UK.
The unique thing about the EUSA Awards is that it is a competition in which "the best of the best" projects are chosen because the national associations usually send the winners of their respective swimming pool and hot tub competitions as the shortlisted entries. Therefore, SPATA and BISHTA have again submitted shortlisted entries from the winners of the relevant categories of the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards.
EUSA President Pedro Arrebola Conde oversaw the 2024 Awards ceremony in Lyon. This year, winners came from seven countries: the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland.
The awards ceremony has been hosted annually since 2013 by EUSA in collaboration with the national pool associations from Europe. This year, there were winners in the following eight domestic categories: Indoor Pools, Outdoor Pools, Pools with an Enclosure, Pools with an Automatic Cover, Pools by Night, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Pool Renovation.
The wet leisure trade associations from the United Kingdom, BISHTA (British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association) – www.bishta.co.uk and SPATA (Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association) – www.spata.co.uk shortlisted the UK entries for the European Pool & Spa Awards from their respective winners in the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards, which are held during SPATEX, the annual trade exhibition.
BISHTA and SPATA will host the 2025 British Pool & Hot Tub Awards at SPATEX, the annual trade exhibition, on Tuesday, February 4th, 2025. A number of these winners will be shortlisted for the 2025 EUSA Awards.
SPATA and BISHTA congratulate all winners, including the associations, their members, and the companies shortlisted this year.
