Condé Nast Traveler received more than 798,867 survey responses from readers across the United States rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting. The Readers' Choice Awards, with its unparalleled legacy as the travel industry's longest-running and most prestigious accolades from our readers, remains the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector. The full list of winners can be found here. 

“Being chosen by travelers themselves makes this award especially meaningful. We're grateful to everyone who voted and to the staff who earn it every day,” said Dumisani Sakuinje, General Manager of Hamanasi Adventure & Dive Resort. 

Nestled on the beaches of Hopkins between the lush Maya Mountains and the vibrant Caribbean Sea, Hamanasi is uniquely positioned as a top Belize adventure resort offering guests “The Best of Belize, from the Reef to the Rainforest”. As a premier boutique resort in Belize, Hamanasi features 30 spacious accommodations, including 12 beachfront rooms and 18 private treehouses tucked organically into a coastal forest. 

Through its onsite 5-star PADI Marine Facility and Adventure Center, Hamanasi provides seamless access to over 30 guided Belize adventures—from world-class Belize barrier reef diving and Belize snorkeling across three Caribbean atolls to rainforest waterfall hikes, cave exploration, and ancient Maya site tours. Guests seeking a complete getaway can also choose from curated Belize all inclusive packages designed for adventure, relaxation, and romance.

What truly sets Hamanasi apart as a top resort in Belize is its deep commitment to regenerative travel. Hamanasi stands out for regenerating the land, actively regrowing its native ecosystem and building elevated treehouses directly within the forest it brought back to life. As a proud founding member of Regenerative Resorts and the first beachfront property in Belize to be certified by Green Globe, Hamanasi operates a sustainable business model designed to actively improve the natural environment and local community rather than merely sustain them. 

Hamanasi has set aside 25-acres as a nature reserve on its property, maintains a certified organic kitchen garden supplying fresh ingredients for exceptional Belize resort dining at the Singanga Restaurant, and employs a dedicated team of over 180 Belizean staff members.

The 2026 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at cntraveler.com/rca and celebrated in the November issue.
