AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. (July 16, 2019) – Northeast Florida’s Amelia Island has placed No. 8 among America’s Islands by readers of Travel + Leisure. The travel magazine recently released results from its annual World’s Best reader survey, in which Amelia Island was voted one of the top islands in the continental United States, making it one of only two Florida destinations on the list.

“Travel + Leisure has a very savvy, well-traveled readership, which gives tremendous weight to this annual survey,” said Gil Langley, President of the Amelia Island Convention and Visitors Bureau. “These travelers have so many great options available to them, making it a true honor for our little island paradise to be chosen as one of their favorite destinations.”

The World’s Best is a travel awards program run by Travel + Leisure and based on an annual reader survey. The prestigious annual awards honor the top travel destinations, hotels and companies worldwide. The 2019 survey was open at tlworldsbest.com from November 6, 2018 to March 4, 2019.

“For 24 years, our readers have been voting in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards. This annual franchise is a global collection of the top hotels, islands, cities, cruise lines, airlines, and more,” says Jacqui Gifford, Travel + Leisure Editor in Chief. “Brands and properties from all over the world – from Peru to Japan, India to Italy, and right here at home in the United States – are recognized by our audience because they deliver on exceptional experiences, rooted in a sense of place. I congratulate all of this year’s winners, who have worked so hard to be among the world’s best.”
