Charlotte Harbor takes center stage at Sunseeker Resort Florida Gulf Coast, Curio by Hilton, where floor-to-ceiling views, generous accommodations, and a robust collection of open-air restaurants and bars make the most of the property’s waterfront setting. Days are spent boating, at the beach, and exploring the surrounding Gulf Coast.

Vinarosa Resort & Spa | Santa Rosa, California, US
Vinarosa Resort & Spa stretches across 92 acres of vineyards and gardens near the Russian River in Sonoma County, known for its slow rhythm. A stay here is rooted in seasonal, farm-driven cuisine and time outdoors, whether roaming the grounds, playing bocce, or lounging by the pool and firepits.

Trailborn Surf and Sound Resort | Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, US
Located on a barrier island in Wrightsville Beach, Trailborn Surf and Sound Resort reflects the area’s deep-rooted surf culture and love of the outdoors.

Worth Booking For: Its proximity to Paseo de Montejo, museums, galleries, and beloved Yucatecan restaurants.
Esh Hotel & Spa | Nosara, Costa Rica

Worth Booking For: Open-air treatments influenced by traditional Costa Rican rituals.

Worth Booking For: Catamaran cruises and snorkeling excursions along St. Lucia’s spectacular coastline.
Coquillade Provence | Gargas, France
Within the Luberon Regional Nature Park, Coquillade Provence occupies a restored 11th-century hamlet where vineyards, lavender fields, and winding country roads define the landscape.
