Travel & Leisure World’s Best Awards

Written by Palmetto Bluff

Palmetto Bluff has been included in this year’s Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards. For the second year in a row, Montage Palmetto Bluff earned the #2 spot in the list of “The Top 10 South Carolina Resort Hotels.”

Every year for the World’s Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city or resort based on their locations and amenities.

Many of these resorts cater to families, who return year after year to enjoy a kid-friendly getaway — and not just in the summertime. One reader’s family has gone to Montage Palmetto Bluff, the second-ranked resort, two years in a row at Christmas. Another liked staying at Montage so much that “I am buying a home in Palmetto Bluff.”

The Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards is a leading barometer of the places and companies that satisfy some of the most passionate and discerning travelers out there.

Among other recipients, South Street Partner’s Kiawah Island has been named the best resort hotel in South Carolina, with additional accolades for South Street Partners communities and the surrounding areas relative to each. The awards for Palmetto Bluff, Kiawah, The Cliffs, and the surrounding areas include:
