8. Montage Deer Valley, Park City, Utah
As the only ski resort on the list, Montage Deer Valley holds its own in snowy Park City, where visitors can enjoy its ski-in, ski-out location and countless winter activities. The cozy rooms, featuring plenty of space and warming fireplaces, make this the perfect escape for winter lovers. But with kayaking adventures, access to hundreds of miles of hiking and a large outdoor pool, Montage Deer Valley is far from a seasonal stay.
9. Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa, Rancho Santa Fe, California
Situated about 30 minutes north of San Diego, Rancho Valencia has the element of seclusion that impresses and relaxes guests at the same time. The resort made it onto the 2016 Conde Nast Readers’ Choice List and Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards for good reason. Gorgeously appointed guest rooms, public spaces and a tequila bar give off a Mexican-hacienda vibe that charms guests throughout their stay. For a deal, try booking through Travelocity.
10. Primland, Meadows of Dan, Virginia
Primland is set on 12,000 rolling acres amid the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. And its accommodations are just as vast, with a choice among cottages, houses or rooms. But it’s days spent exploring the resort’s outdoor wonderland and evenings stargazing at the hotel’s observatory that are most appealing to all those ready to lose themselves in the meadows of southern Virginia.
