Condé Nast Traveler has announced the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards with BodyHoliday recognized as the #1 Destination Spa in the world. The results come from more than 575,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the United States submitting ratings of their best in class travel experiences across the globe.

Nestled in the breath-takingly lush landscape of Saint Lucia, BodyHoliday is the world’s first luxury all-inclusive wellness resort known for its unique approach to wellness. Having opened in 1988, the 155-room resort and 4 Villas offers a wide variety of treatments, therapies and activities – with everything from archery to scuba diving, spinning to Pilates, beach boot camps to an on-site functional wellness clinic. BodyHoliday features the world renowned Wellness Center, which includes Saint Lucia’s first and only Ayurvedic temple, where specialists offer curated recommendations from a diverse menu of holistic wellness offerings including therapeutic massage and infrared therapy as well as restorative beauty and skin treatments. The resort features six food and beverage venues including the I-TAL restaurant, a garden-to-table dining experience which promotes healthy eating and uses foods grown onsite in the resort’s garden.

“At BodyHoliday, we strive to create a wholly personalized experience for each of our guests to enhance their wellness journeys,” said Andrew Barnard, Chief Executive Officer, Sunswept Resorts [BodyHoliday, StolenTime]. “Being recognized as the number one destination spa in the world is validation that we continue to innovate in the wellness sphere since opening in 1988.”
