Faraway Martha's Vineyard | Edgartown, Massachusetts

Explore Edgartown your own way; embrace the free-spirited elegance of Martha’s Vineyard. At Faraway Martha’s Vineyard, you’ll slip into relaxation at the three one-of-a-kind dining experiences, including the open-air Pelican Club. Under a fringed umbrella, unwind with exotic slushies and fresh seafood. Ask me about the six different lodging properties on the enchanting Faraway campus.

 

White Barn Inn | Kennebunk, Maine

A world of unique pleasures await in coastal Maine, where you can escape to utmost seclusion at White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection. Cottage guests enjoy direct access to a heated infinity pool or views of the Kennebunk River.

OUT WEST: RUGGED BEAUTY

Alila Ventana Big Sur | Big Sur, California

A place of unmatched beauty and tranquility, Alila Ventana Big Sur embodies the notion that space is luxury in 160 magnificent acres of natural splendor on the rugged Pacific coast. At this resort, you will embrace bespoke itineraries that offer adventure, wellness and cultural exploration. If glamping (luxurious camping) among the redwoods speaks to you, ask me about the safari-style tent cabins.


Ojai Valley Inn | Ojai, California

Nestled in a bohemian enclave about 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, Ojai Valley Inn has been one of California’s most revered destinations since its 1923 opening. The resort overlooks unspoiled surrounding mountains and celebrates the relaxed glamour of California’s past. Relax at the four sparkling pools, or take a swing at the tennis or golf experience of your dreams. 

 

Eleven Scarp Ridge Lodge | Crested Butte, Colorado

This former Croatian saloon still has its Wild West façade, but the interiors at Eleven Scarp Ridge Lodge have been transformed with generous amenities. Relax in the indoor saltwater pool, sauna or rooftop hot tub. Each day you’ll choose a new adventure, like float trips and rock climbing. Combine your stay with the fishing-centric Taylor River Lodge, a mere 30 minutes away.
