Celebrating our first recognition in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards, ranking No. 4 in the Rest of the World Spa category.
We are incredibly proud to share that Gwinganna Retreat & Spa has been recognised among the world’s finest wellness destinations, ranking No. 4 in the Rest of the World Spa category at the 2026 Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers’ Choice Awards.
Now in their 39th year, the Readers’ Choice Awards are among the most prestigious accolades in global travel, celebrating the very best hotels, resorts, spas and destinations around the world.
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that the awards are decided by travellers themselves. This year, more than 296,000 readers across the United Kingdom shared their experiences, recognising the places that left a lasting impression.
For Gwinganna, this marks our first recognition in these celebrated awards, making the achievement all the more special.
Nestled in the Gold Coast hinterland, Gwinganna has spent 20 years creating a sanctuary where guests can step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with their wellbeing. From our award-winning Spa Sanctuary and 100% certified organic cuisine to movement, mindfulness and the restorative power of nature, every experience is thoughtfully designed to support lasting wellbeing.
To be recognised on an international stage, alongside some of the world's most exceptional wellness destinations, is an extraordinary honour.
Most importantly, this recognition belongs to our guests. To everyone who has visited, returned, recommended us to someone special or shared their Gwinganna experience, thank you. Your continued support has helped shape the sanctuary we are so proud of today.
As we celebrate 20 years of Gwinganna, this milestone feels especially meaningful and inspires us to continue creating experiences that stay with our guests long after they leave.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
