“Now in its fifth year, our Readers’ Choice Awards have become the industry’s premier award program - the spa world’s answer to the Academy Awards,” said Spa Finder, Inc. President Susie Ellis.  “With a huge surge in international voting and more than twice as many votes overall compared to last year, this represents an especially meaningful validation of the spa experience provided by Hilton Head Health Institute.”

The Hilton Head Health Institute enjoys a 31-year reputation as the premier weight loss program in the United States.  Rated by Conde Nast Traveler/Gold List as one of the top 10 Spas in North America, the Health Institute is an exclusive residential weight loss retreat where guests attend the Healthy LifestyleTM program to improve their overall health and wellness, with a focus on nutrition, fitness, and education in a resort environment.

To help spa consumers identify the best spas for their unique goals, Spa Finder asked its readers and web visitors to name their picks for the best spas in 23 specific categories - from “best accomodations” and “best cuisine” to “best for men” and “best urban hotel spa.”  Spa-goers also selected their favorite spas in more than 20 global regions and their overall favorite spas on six continents.  In all, ballots were cast for more than 1,500 different spa properties worldwide.  Voters were asked to only cast ballots for stay spas they’ve personally visited within the past three years.
