Spa March Madness – 2018
FOURTH ANNUAL SPA MARCH MADNESS
It’s March, and in the USA, that means “fan”-tastic events are taking place for March Madness! Each year, March Madness is one of the most popular fan participation events on the American sports calendar, but you’ll also see fun tournaments being played for everything from Best Brunch Spots to favorite television characters.
We think it’s also a fun way to vote for favorite Spa Resorts and Hotels in playoffs for the vaulted title as Spa Index Readers’ Choice Favorite USA Spa Hotel or Resort.
We start with 250 of the most popular and well-regarded spa hotels, resorts and destination retreats in the USA, and then poll our readers, partners, and Secret Spa Reviewers to choose the Top 64 Resorts to compete in the championship. From that group of 64, we follow the general schedule and eliminations with March Madness Tournaments until we crown the Favorite Spa Hotel or Resort for 2018.

ABOUT OUR 2018 POLL
We polled our editorial staff, our panel of more than 150 secret Spa Reviewers, and a diverse group of our most loyal newsletter subscribers in every region of the USA, to help us winnow down the list from over 100 hotels and resorts to 64 contender spa hotels and resorts ranging from urban city hotels, to mountain retreats, to desert hideaways, to ocean front luxury resorts.
Trust us — it was hard for everyone to choose ONLY 64 resorts, and it will be harder still to now vote weekly as the tournament progresses — because as one said “You won’t have a bad experience at any of these stellar destinations.”
Those same judges — with votes from our visitors and guests — will now help us vote to advance contenders until the championship is announced — the crowning of the Reader’s Choice Favorite USA Spa Hotel or Resort for 2018.
