BodyHoliday named #3 ‘Top International Destination Spa’
Travel + Leisure has announced that BodyHoliday, St. Lucia, has once again been recognised by their ‘World’s Best Awards’ and has been named #3 ‘Top International Destination Spa’.
Published this week and voted for by the top US magazine’s readers, the rules have allowed readers to reflect on their travel experiences over a three-year period. In the hope that this year’s honourees will inspire others to travel, as the industry begins to take flight once more after the pandemic.
BodyHoliday, a long-standing honouree on the coveted list, is recognised by the Travel + Leisure readers as they recorded their vote. “It is my go-to holiday. I have gone as a single woman at least four times,” wrote one loyal patron. “I’ve travelled with my daughter, a friend, and also my husband,” said another. “All had a perfect experience.” But first-time visitors felt the magic instantly, too. As one voter recalled, “During my holiday at BodyHoliday, I unwound within the first five minutes. I tried things I never would try before, such as yoga and water volleyball. Every staff member I met seemed to genuinely like their job and helping us rest and relax.”
Andrew Barnard, Executive Director, BodyHoliday commented, “We are honoured to be acknowledged by the readers of Travel + Leisure as one of the ‘Best International Destination Spas in the World’. We look forward to continuing our legacy of quality bespoke service and remarkable experiences and wellbeing. BodyHoliday was the first overseas destination spa over 30 years ago and has continued to lead in this field. Experiences at BodyHoliday are designed by guests with personalisation taken to another level. It can be a haven of serenity or a hive of activity, all with the same goal in mind – to change lives.”
