Ayana is Asia’a Best Resort in Conde Nast Award

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jimbaran, BALI, 13 October 2011 – AYANA Resort and Spa Bali has been announced Asia’s Best Resort in the 2011 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, as voted by over 28,000 travelers.

With an overall score of 95.7, AYANA topped the list of the 20 Best Resorts in Asia and ranked 42 of the 100 Best Resorts in the World, in the magazine’s annual Readers’ Survey. The survey collated 8 million votes from discerning travelers across all categories to make it the travel industry’s most extensive and prestigious compendium of the world’s best destinations and places to stay. Armed with the slogan ‘Truth in Travel’, Conde Nast Traveler is the world’s leading travel publication, with some 800,000 paid subscribers and audited circulation of 3.5 million.

“These awards reflect the combined opinions of 28,876 Condé Nast Traveler readers rating the cities, islands, and hotels they visited in the past year, and the airlines and cruise ships they traveled with. For its range and depth, the Readers’ Choice Awards are a unique and trusted source of advice globally,” the magazine said on its website www.concierge.com, where the full list of results is available. The results will also be released in the November issue of the print edition.

AYANA General Manager Charles de Foucault thanked travelers for their continuing support since the resort rebranded in April 2009, when it was brought under the management of West Paces Hotel Group led by Horst Schulze.

“This award reaffirms the vision and excellence of our owner and the leadership of West Paces Hotel Group, but most of all it reflects our guests’ recognition of the passion, care and dedication of our 900+ staff, ” said Charles. “While AYANA’s facilities and amenities are world-class, it is really our staff who have won this award. They do not think of awards when they serve our guests, but they are the living example of Maya Angelou’s famous quote, ‘People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ The awards are a byproduct of their natural care and dedication to provide a memorable stay for every guest, and so I congratulate all of our staff for this well-deserved recognition; they are Asia’s Best.”

The award is one of several accolades bestowed upon the resort recently. AYANA was voted Indonesia’s Leading Resort and Indonesia’s Leading Spa Resort in the World Travel Awards last month, while Rock Bar was voted Bali’s Best Sunset Venue at The Yak Readers’ Awards.
