Luxury hospitality brand LUX* Resorts & Hotels, on Wednesday, revealed that three resorts run by the company, were awarded the Condé Nast Traveler’s 2020 Readers’ Choice Award.

LUX* North Male Atoll Resort and Villas, and LUX* South Ari Atoll Resort and Villas, both located in Maldives were ranked at the fourth and 29th place respectively, while LUX* Belle Mare Resort and Villas in Mauritius was awarded 22nd place.

"We are incredibly honoured to have three of our properties awarded this prestigious recognition, which is a testament of our commitment and dedication of providing heartfelt Lighter, Brighter* services that LUX* Resorts and Hotels are known for", said Chief Operating Officer Dominik Ruhl.

The properties were ranked based on a large number of responses submitted by more than 715,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers, rating their travel experiences across the globe.

"The results of this year’s survey, conducted at the start of the COVID-19 19 pandemic, is a testament to the lasting power of a meaningful travel experience", U.S. Editor of Condé Nast Traveler Jesse Ashlock stated.

"The winners represent the best of the best for our audience and offer plenty of trip-planning inspiration for all the adventures we can’t wait to have next".

Resorts located in Maldives dominated the Top 30 Resorts in The Indian Ocean, filling up 26 slots. The Nautilus Maldives was ranked at the top, followed by Naladhu Private Island Maldives in second place, and The Oberoi in Mauritius at third place.

After LUX* North Male' Atoll, Soneva Jani was ranked fifth. The sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth places were awarded to Joali Maldives, Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa and One&Only Reethi Rah respectively.
