Kauai was named the number one island in Hawaii by readers of Travel+Leisure magazine in the publication's 2006 World's Best Awards.
"Because this honor is voted on by travelers, being named 'Hawaii's Best Island' is a wonderful reflection on Kauai's communities and people," said Kauai Mayor Bryan Baptiste.
Respondents judged the islands on five characteristics: natural attractions, activities/sights, restaurants/food, people, and value.
"Travelers are always struck by our abundance of physical beauty and I think it showed in this year's survey," said Kelly Hoen, general manager of Princeville Resort and chairwoman of the Kauai Visitors Bureau.
