May 12, 2016, saw the celebration of the 2016 Condé Nast Traveller Awards, the 8th edition of this prestigious event, which is not to be missed for all those involved in the tourist sector. At this ceremony, the qualities and dedication of the staff, hotels and most important tourist destinations in the world are recognised.

The Conde Duque Cultural Centre was the chosen venue for the celebration of this gala event. It was the perfect setting for the awards ceremony, which is a tribute to the joys of travelling. The 23 accolades given out all share the same criteria: a passion for this industry.

Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa was one of the undisputed protagonists of the evening as it was awarded the prize for Best Resort by this highly regarded travel publication. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the resort has been designed to reflect the character and charm of a typical Andalusian village. Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa looks out onto the glorious Mediterranean Sea which glistens under the beautiful blue skies of Marbella. Its lush subtropical gardens, which surround an ancient Roman bridge dating back to the 1st century, enchant you with the scent and colours of their varied flora, giving an air of ultimate peace and tranquillity.

The gentle sea breeze refreshes every part of this unique resort in which the authentic Andalusian character is carefully recreated. The wide range of gastronomy and excellent leisure facilities on offer make this a truly luxurious place right in the centre of the Costa del Sol.

Thanks to these features, which help to position Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa among the most exclusive luxury resorts, and to the magnificent service which sets it apart from the rest, the readers of the Condé Nast Traveller magazine have nominated it as the best resort in the world. During the awards ceremony, Jorge Manzur, the general manager of the resort, expressed his gratitude in the name of Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa, saying "This prize is deserved recognition for the refurbishment and reforms project we started three years ago, as well as the effort and dedication of our team who know how important it is to make sure the customer is offered a top quality service. I feel very proud and grateful to accept this award on behalf of this wonderful family."
