2026 Best of the Holy City READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS HEALTH & WELLNESS / BEAUTY

Voted on by our readers, these award-winning attractions, standout shops, and essential services are part of what keeps Charleston among the most beloved places to live in the country.

In Charleston, wellness is woven into daily life, as much a part of the landscape as the salt air and pluff mud. Long known as a hub for exceptional medical care, the Lowcountry continues to raise the bar through a powerful blend of innovation, expertise, and an unwavering sense of community. At the heart of it all is Medical University of South Carolina Health, a cornerstone institution whose influence can be felt across every facet of the city’s health and health education landscape. But what makes Charleston’s approach so compelling isn’t just clinical excellence—it’s the care behind it. From the personalization found at Smile Design Charleston and the precision executed at Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery to the thoughtful, patient-first philosophy of Mara Dermatology, providers here are as invested in people as they are in outcomes. That same ethos extends to holistic wellness, where spaces like Woodhouse Spa and Urban Nirvana offer not just relaxation, but restoration—places where self-care is treated as essential, not indulgent. Across disciplines, from the solution-focused practice at Draisin Vision Group to the trusted, neighborhood feel of Pitt Street Pharmacy, there’s a shared commitment to craft. These are practitioners who have chosen Charleston not just as a place to work, but as a place to belong—where relationships matter, reputations are earned, and care extends beyond the appointment. This year, we celebrate the hands behind the healing, the artists behind the aesthetics, and the reason Charleston continues to look—and feel—its very best.
