The best of wellness in the West and beyond.

These Are the Winners of the 2026 Sunset Wellness & Beauty Awards

Visit Tucson

Our first-ever Wellness & Beauty Awards celebrate the rituals, retreats, and remedies that actually move the needle—from oceanfront spas and desert sanctuaries to design-forward tools and science-backed skincare. These winners reflect the West’s signature blend of nature, innovation, and ease—and the simple idea that feeling good should fit real life.

The West has always been a laboratory for living well. This inaugural list honors places and products that deliver results you can feel—salt air and hot springs, redwoods and ranchland, careful technique and cutting-edge tech. We tested what nourishes body and mind across categories: Seaside Serenity (where waves do half the work), City Escapes (urban sanctuaries), Outdoor Escapes (nature meets nurture), Desert Reset (thermal circuits and starry-night silence), Wine Country Wellness (slow-lane restoration), Old-School/Iconic Retreats (timeless, still best-in-class), Spa Destinations (treatments worth the trip), Ranch Retreats (nature-first immersion), Riviera & Resort Chic (sun, sea, and serious spa), Design-Forward Hideaways, Nurturing Nature, plus Wellness & Supplements, Beauty, Home & Ritual, Design, and Services that bring wellness home.
