Lake Austin Spa Resort Takes Top Honors In National Poll

AUSTIN, TX — Condé Nast Traveler on Monday announced the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards with Lake Austin Spa Resort recognized as the #2 Destination Spa Resort in the World, and #1 Destination Spa Resort in the U.S., officials said.

Lake Austin Spa Resort is the only property included from Texas and only one of 11 properties listed from North America.

"As the only lakefront wellness resort in the world, Lake Austin Spa Resort is well-known for incorporating water into wellness from a water taxi to the property, floating massages in the pool barn and underwater deep muscle massages," officials described. "Nestled along the shores of scenic Lake Austin in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Lake Austin Spa Resort offers guests the sanctuary of a world-class spa and the warmth of a best friend’s lake house."

More than 600,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the globe submitted a recording-breaking number of responses rating their travel experiences to provide a full snapshot of where and how we travel today, officials added.

The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.”

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by Condé Nast Traveler and its readers as one of the top ten wellness resorts for more than ten years in a row,” Mike McAdams, co-owner of the 40- room lakefront retreat, said in a prepared statement. “When Billy Rucks and I purchased this property in 1997 we knew it had potential to be best in class and we are so humbled that our guests also feel the same. We are proud and so thankful to our staff and guests for this great achievement.”

The 2019 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at www.cntraveler.com/rca and celebrated in the November issue of Condé Nast Traveler U.S. and U.K.
