HOTEL

www.riocelestehideaway.com

 

Why You’ll Love It

• Eco-friendly boutique hotel in tropical rainforest
• Near Tenorio Volcano National Park
• Complimentary spa credit

When you hear “rain forest,” do you think easy-going hikes by waterfalls or high-flying bridges through the trees? No matter: each is in reach of your eco-luxe casita—or “small house”—at Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel. Experience Costa Rica’s unique natural beauty as you enjoy a blend of luxury design and flawless hospitality.

It’s not often your day begins with tropical breakfasts, follows with a trip to an active volcano, and winds down with a relaxing spa treatment and dinner. If it sounds like a bucket-list day, it’s because it is. And you’re poised to scratch it off. Whether you fill your days with poolside cocktails and siestas or rafting trips and biking, Rio Celeste has a must-live experience waiting for you.

Newport, RI – PEARLS BOUTIQUE HOTELS – Historic Cottages with a Post-Modern Twist…

PEARLS BOUTIQUE HOTELS

www.pearlsboutiquehotels.com

Why You’ll Love It

• Steps from the water, European-style shops, and restaurants
• Four restored historic cottages with daily gourmet breakfast cooked by one of three chefs
• Nearby vineyards, picturesque beaches, tennis courts, and premier golf courses
• Complimentary welcome bottle of wine

Even if you slept through the lesson on The Age of Innocence in high school, it’s obvious why Newport’s natural beauty (and sparkling social scene) was the inspiration for an American classic. Famous works of art, historic treasures, and spectacular gardens with an outdoor kitchen—aka your restored cottage digs.

What better welcome than a glass of wine? With this palate-pleasing greeting, Pearls Boutique Hotels make an impression from the outset. Relax in your gold leaf-accented shabby-chic surroundings or extra-large, polo-style suite with an in-room massage. If the great outdoors is calling, break out your bikini and head to the water or try a scenic drive—in Newport, the only problem is deciding which to do first.

Whether you’re a boating beauty or a land lover, the sailing capital of the US has plenty to catch your eye. Colonial buildings, wine tasting, gourmet dining: with a stay so perfect and carefree, you’ll feel like you’re living in a Ralph Lauren ad.

AQUA BLU BOUTIQUE HOTEL & SPA

www.aquabluhotel.gr

Why You’ll Love It

• Beach bar for tan-time cocktails
• Boat excursions to surrounding islands
• Cutting-edge fitness facility

Escape to a Greek island in style at Aqua Blu. Tanning on the white-sand shores of the Aegean; a Turkish Hamman; pampering spa therapies—running away never felt so good. From your sea-view room, inhale the calm and let the cares of your stateside life fade away.

How many shades of blue are there? Don’t know? We’ll ask again when you get back from Greece. From the cool blue of the hotel pool to the the vibrant sea beyond, you’ll understand why it’s the only color on the flag. Take a break from beating the sun and come inside for a dip in the hotel’s indoor pool. Thanks to Aqua Blu’s little luxuries, you might just need to extend your stay.

SIVORY PUNTA CANA

Why You’ll Love It

• AAA Four Diamond Award-winning accommodations
• Pristine beaches on the Dominican Republic’s undisturbed east coast
• Complimentary sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, and snorkeling

Remember what vacation feels like? Yeah, neither do we. Maybe it’s time to set your automatic email reply to “Tanning” and get reacquainted with piña coladas and white sand beaches at Sivory Punta Cana.

When it’s your tropical escape, privacy should never come at the cost of choice. Sivory Punta Cana agrees. With three gourmet restaurants—from Mediterranean to Asian fusion—you may need to extend your stay to savor the full experience.

You work your tail off, so why not vacation it off, too? Daily spa therapies from Aquarea Spa & Wellness Center can help you put that idea into good practice. At Sivory Punta Cana, PTO only stands for “Pampering Time Obligatory.”
