luxury getaways

When people think of luxury getaways, they often think of remote island resorts, or cliffside villas in Greece, France, or Spain. But there are plenty of luxury getaways that don’t even require a passport!

From ocean view resorts to massive spas, to historic hotels, we have a variety of luxury getaways for you to check out in the United States.

Post Ranch Inn at Big Sur

Post Ranch Inn is luxury and escape at its finest. Located at California’s beautiful Big Sur, this resort has incredible ocean views and luxurious features. With its vista situated 1,200 feet above the Pacific Ocean to the West and tucked into the Santa Lucia Mountains to the East, you’ll feel like nobody can touch you.

Post Ranch Inn offers a variety of lodging options, but with only 39 rooms available, this place is a rare and expensive escape. Our favorite room option is the treehouse, which offers a glass skylight to sleep under the stars while elevated 9 feet above the ground.

With a variety of spa options, free car rentals, and even guided shaman sessions, it’s no wonder that Post Ranch Inn was ranked as California’s Top Spa in 2018.

Peaks Resort and Spa in Telluride, Colorado

For a more adventurous yet no less luxurious getaway, consider escaping the ocean and traveling to the Rocky Mountain resort town of Telluride, Colorado.

Peaks Resort and Spa is Telluride’s only resort that offers ski-in/ski-out AND golf-in/golf-out options, meaning that both world-class skiing and golfing are accessible from the resort.

After a day of adventuring, you can relax in the 42,000 square foot spa, or take a dip in the massive pool complex that includes a water slide.

The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island

This next getaway takes all the way across the country to the Atlantic coast of Georgia.

This island lodge is only accessible by boat and only can accommodate a mere 32 guests at a time, so seclusion is key here.

This may not be the stereotypical idea of luxury, with family-style dining and old rustic lodges, but be assured that this is a unique experience, and while it may look straight out the 19th century, the accommodations are still incredible.

With over 7 miles of beaches available only to you and 31 others, this place offers ample opportunity to become one with nature. Other activities include biking, kayaking, birding, fishing, and swimming.

The Greenbrier in White Sulfur Springs, WV

West Virginia might not be your top destination for a luxury vacation, but don’t overlook this incredible spa and resort in the foothills of the Appalachians.

The historic building dates back to the 18th century and lies on 11,000 acres of beautiful wooded grounds, which includes a world-class golf course.

Relax in a five-star mineral spa after indulging in a full day of activities, including hiking, white water rafting, and off-road jeeping. Or stay inside, where you can play laser tag, tour a cold war era bunker, or hang out at the casino and test your luck.

Cal-a-Vie in Vista, California

We’re back to the west coast, this time just north of San Diego in beautiful Vista, California for another posh resort.
