The 2023 Best of Travel Winner
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has been at the forefront of swimwear, fashion and women’s lifestyle since 1964. For years, our editors have traveled the globe searching for the most beautiful locations, fashion and trends. This year, we are pleased to introduce the winners from the franchise’s first Best of Awards. Brands across several industries submitted entries for a chance to get their products and places recognized by our roster of cover models, expert makeup artists, hairstylists and editors as we voted on the best in swimwear, beauty, fitness and travel.
The SI Swimsuit team has traveled around the world, gaining exposure to hundreds of landscapes, cultures, languages, experiences and, well, hotels. Thanks to these opportunities, our team has honed its ability to discern which hotels deliver and which do not. The Breathless Cancun Soul Resort & Spa wowed the team. This stylish, all-suite resort has the friendliest staff, reliable service, clean rooms and amenities, and the most breathtaking views (hence the name). Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and Nichupte Lagoon, Breathless Cancun Soul Resort & Spa guests acquire access to a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
