Short Getaways, Big Impact

A weekend may not seem like a long enough time to have a real escape. But in the right setting, 48-72 hours can be transformative. So if you’re looking to make the most of a weekend- holiday or otherwise – these luxurious destinations should be on your list. You know what’s even better about the one’s we are highlighting?  They’re each just a quick drive or flight away in the US – giving you more time to truly unwind.

1. Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur

Post Ranch Inn isn’t just somewhere you stay, it’s somewhere you slow down. Perched 1,200 feet above the Pacific along Highway 1, this is the kind of place that gently forces you to unplug in the best way possible. No TVs, no distractions, just uninterrupted ocean views, coastal fog rolling in, and unreal sunsets.

Days here are meant to be unstructured. To enjoy the beauty of the place and the space you will find yourself doing nature walks through the property’s trails, morning yoga overlooking the cliffs, or just relaxing by the pool and taking in the views. For couples, it’s a perfect spot to unwind after the busyness of life gets in the way. For solo travelers, it’s a chance to recharge in nature.

Dining is a big part of the experience both on-property and nearby. Post Ranch’s Sierra Mar restaurant is destination-worthy on its own. It’s a place where guests are treated to a farm-driven dining experience that is perfectly complemented by an award-winning wine list, the views are just an added bonus.

In the surrounding Big Sur area, the town offers some of California’s most iconic dining  including spots just across the highway at Alila Ventana Big Sur. This is the kind of trip you come home from feeling reset, grounded, and deeply rested.

Bishop’s Lodge is ideal for travelers who want to experience Santa Fe beyond the galleries. Located just outside of downtown Santa Fe, it feels tucked away in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains while being  minutes from the heart of the city.

What sets this property apart is how well it blends culture and nature. They host a variety of unique guest experiences like Cultural tours, silversmithing workshops, chef-led lunch tours, archery, and tequila tasting (just to name a few). Bishop’s Lodge is intentionally curated and has something for everyone depending on preference.

Evenings are perfect for lingering dinners, live music, and fireside cocktails that lean into the spirit of New Mexico.

It’s fantastic option for couples or friends traveling together who want a sense of place not just a resort. Bishop’s Lodge makes it easy to feel immersed in Santa Fe’s history and creative energy while still having a peaceful home base to return to at the end of the day.

3. Keswick Hall, Charlottesville VA

Keswick Hall is for travelers who love classic luxury with a strong sense of refinement. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside Charlottesville, this is a place where days revolve around excellent food, golf, and relaxing moments.

The Arnold Palmer designed 18-hole golf course is a major draw, but non-golfers are just as well cared for. Keswick has a vineyard right on the property offering well-crafted, award-winning wines that showcase the terroir of the Estate. Marigold is their on-propert restaurant by world-renowned Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The menu changes often to offer sustainable and seasonal produce where the majority is grown by a local farm. 

Keswick works beautifully for couples celebrating something special or friends looking for an elegant, easy getaway that still feels rooted in its surroundings. It’s a special place where everything feels thoughtfully done.

4. Miraval Berkshires

Miraval Berkshires is best suited for travelers who want to come home feeling rejuvenated. This all-inclusive, adults-only wellness resort is designed around mindfulness, movement, and self-discovery.

Your days are built around choice. They offer guided forest meditations, and a handful of intentional workshops including Kombucha brewing, Coffee making, Seed-Sowing, and even Chicken Keeping. The diverse activities offered at this property are once-in-a lifetime and unique to the hotel making this place so special. 

They pride themselves on mindful eating, culinary, and dining. The food you’ll eat celebrates the region’s distinct tastes and textures, featuring fresh ingredients from their own Meadowview Garden. If farm-to table is important to you, it’s as fresh as it gets!

5. Delano South Beach 

An iconic spot directly in the heart of South Beach, The Delano is set to reopen in early spring of 2026 following an extensive restoration. The iconic hotel will be refreshed and revitalized but the playful spirit will still be on display with incredible food & beverage outlets. The details are still a bit under wraps but we can give you the insider’s scoop! We were invited to be apart of the Exclusive Virtuoso Preview Advisory Board where we have been in touch with the full team as they prepare for the opening later this year. We could not be more excited about what the property has in store for our guests.
