The Best Resorts in the World: 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards

"On a reserved stretch of Jensen Beach, guests breathe in the salty sea air at the Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa and get a taste of why nearby Stuart, Florida, was once celebrated as America's Happiest Seaside Town. Guest rooms are immediately reminiscent of the beach scene with clean whites alternating with sailor navy blues throughout the furnishings, and herringbone floors add a subtle touch of something special. The overlooking ocean is front and center at the resort, acting as the centerpiece at dining venues, the inspiration for spa treatments, and the view from every room. Thoughtful staff deliver small touches like fresh-baked muffins in the morning and cookies at night to make stays—even with unreal ocean views—feel just like home. There are even opportunities to witness and help clear the beach for sea turtle nestings—a quite literal example of how Jensen Beach welcomes guests from all walks of life." - CNT Editors
