Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort Recognized with Conde Nast Traveler's 2022 Reader's Choice Award

Tuesday, October 4th, 2022

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC (Oct. 4, 2022) – Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has been recognized as the No. 9 “Best Resort in the South,” according to Condé Nast Traveler’s results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

Palmetto Dunes rose in the rankings this year to be honored among the top 10 selected. Hilton Head Island represented well this year, with three resorts ranking in the top 10, proving that Hilton Head Island is a well loved destination in the south. The ​Condé Nast Traveler ​Readers’ Choice Awards are the travel industry’s longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence.

Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort — which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018 — is located in the heart of Hilton Head Island, S.C., along three miles of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and an Intracoastal Waterway marina on the other. The resort boasts a trio of championship golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Arthur Hills and George Fazio, an award-winning Tennis and Pickleball Center, and countless other family friendly amenities and activities.

More than 240,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the globe shared their recent travel knowledge of the world’s top hotels, resorts, cities, countries, islands, spas, trains, car rentals, luggage, airlines, airports, and cruises. The results of the 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards demonstrate the travel experiences the publication’s readers longed for most when they couldn’t travel and decided to do first once they could.

“Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is honored by this recognition from such a prestigious media outlet, as well as the travelers around the world who rate the resorts,” said Brad Marra, Palmetto Dunes Chief Operating Officer. “We have always believed in serving our guests to the highest standards, and we appreciate recognition of our efforts from our customers and from the media.”

The 35th Annual 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​ US and UK print editions.
