Warm weather sparks the adventurer in many of us. It just seems to inspire the desire to explore! This year, many clients have asked about domestic vacations. This makes sense, as much of the world still is closed due to the pandemic. Luckily, the U.S. truly offers a treasure trove of destinations. I’ve highlighted a few this week that offer so many wonderful ways to experience these fascinating locales.
Savannah, GA
Experience Georgia’s oldest city from the South’s only downtown resort, the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa. Located on the coast of Georgia, Savannah is separated from South Carolina by the picturesque Savannah river. If you are looking for a relaxing, pampered getaway, Savannah’s manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture will soothe your soul.
The Westin Savannah Harbor offers everything you want in a resort – golf, spa, amazing restaurants and excellent service. 5 night packages for two including airfare and rental car included start at $2596.
Asheville, NC
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, Asheville offers visitors so much! From a lively arts scene, award-winning restaurants, amazing outdoor activities, and beautiful historic architecture, you’ll love this town!
One of the many luxury hotels to consider is the 4-star Grand Bohemian Hotel, just outside the 19th century Biltmore estate and historic Biltmore Village. It boasts a Tudor-style exterior and a unique interior where a rustic 19th-century hunting lodge meets upscale 21st-century amenities. You’ll have the chance to satisfy your tastes with a visit to the boutique wine room or enjoy fine dining at Red Stag Grill, the on-site restaurant. When you’re ready to unwind visit the Poseidon Spa offering a tranquil, intimate atmosphere and a range of soothing treatments, or wander the art gallery, featuring the works of local, regional, and international artists. A 5-night getaway for two starts at $1,933 (hotel only.)
Scottsdale, AZ
More than the temperature heats up during the summer in Arizona – it’s also a great time to take advantage of off-season rates and fewer crowds. Lovely Scottsdale offers fantastic shopping, art, golf, and fabulous restaurants. Plus it’s just a 2 hour drive from Sedona, one of the country’s most beautiful desert landscapes, and 4 hours from the Grand Canyon – one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. You can experience 5 nights of luxury, including a car at The Phoenician in Scottsdale starting at $2,146. (This price does not include airfare.) I visited this property in April and fell in love with its location at the foot of Camelback Mountain and its amazing pools, gardens, spa and attentive guest service.
