Luxury Sunriver Resort Spa Named Among World’s Best

Sage Springs Club and Spa Listed on Coveted Condé Nast 2011 Poll

(Sunriver, Ore.) — Sunriver Resort’s Sage Springs Club and Spa was listed as a Best Resort Spa in the 2011 Condé Nast Traveler’s poll, ranking 69th in the annual readers’ choice survey that garners more than 25,000 responders each year.

Globally recognized as a benchmark for excellence in the travel and tourism industry, the Readers’ Choice Travel Awards include various divisions, including Top Islands, Top Cities and Top Hotels. The Best Resort Spa category reflects ratings on three criteria: Spa Facilities, Spa Staff and Spa Treatments, and compares the responses with those of competitors worldwide.

 “We are honored to be part of such an impressive register of Resorts,” said Sage Springs Director Devon Scanlon. “We feel this is a reflection of both our impressive facility, but also the impeccable service that we strive to provide each and every guest who visits Sunriver Resort.”

This marks the 21st year for the annual poll, which began in 1990 as a “Top 3” listing and has grown to include the “Top 250” spas around the world. According to the Condé Nast Traveler’s Web site, winners range in size, offering, focus, and price point, but “the lofty standards to which our readers hold each candidate” remain.

Among the trends noted by Condé Nast Traveler in the 2011 polls were techniques already adopted at Sage Springs Spa and Sunriver Resort, including eco-friendly offerings, social media communication with guests, and a focus on holistic rejuvenation.
