Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia

Whoever said romance is dead has never been to Jade Mountain (named by U.S. News and World Report as one of the most romantic resorts in the world). Picturesque views, butler service, and couples massages are just a few of the draws that will keep you and your partner blissful in paradise.

Rosewood Mayakoba, Mexico

If health is on your mind during this season of indulgence, Rosewood Mayakoba offers specialized wellness packages to help you achieve your best self. Morning yoga and sweat sessions in the property’s onsite Temazcal are a few ways to kickstart your journey. 

Salamander Resort, Virginia

Salamander Resort and Spa is located a stone's throw from Potomac in Middleburg, VA. Well-known for its spa and its equestrian center, it also boasts a slew of other unforgettable offerings including fine dining, hikes, tennis, archery, and an enviable wine list.

Tucked away in the Berkshires, this Miraval property is an easy getaway for the non-planners of the world. Curated all inclusive packages offer an exciting slate of activities and myriad ways to relax.

The Ivy Hotel, Maryland

Just an hour outside of town in Baltimore, the Ivy experience feels far flung. The small five-star hotel’s charm and approachable luxury will turn the most hardcore vacationers into reformed staycationers.

Southernmost Resort Key West

Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico
This resort offers something for everyone—pools for all ages, a full-service spa, five restaurants and three bars, tennis and pickleball courts, a running trail, kayaks, paddleboards, and an indoor gym. Last but not least: two 18-hole championship golf courses.  

Playa Largo Resort and Spa
Whether staying in the main hotel or its two-story bungalows (where I stayed), it’s an easy stroll to the resort’s four restaurants, its pool, fitness center, and beach. Once a booming pineapple plantation, I enjoyed its specialty cocktails which include pineapple and drinks in a pineapple shell. 

H20 Suites Hotel
Interested in staying in an adults-only luxury hotel where you can enjoy a serene sun-filled retreat AND vibrant nightlife? H20 Suites Hotel in Key West is the perfectly balanced property for you.

The Inn at Perry Cabin
The Inn at Perry Cabin is a treat during all four seasons. Located on the banks of the Miles River in St. Michael’s, guests can play tennis, croquet and bocce, and enjoy its spa and pool. Its Stars Restaurant boasts fine dining using fresh seasonal specialties. 

Hotel Three Sixty, Costa Rica

This five-star boutique hotel in Costa Rica offers a slew of activities to its guests. However, my lasting memory of my stay there was a trip to several spectacular waterfalls and an immersive boat tour exploring the Costa Rican mangroves and its varied residents.
