Escapes Under the Sun

Yesterday I flew into LGA (which is a marvel, BTW!) on a perfect February, spring-like day.

This is today....

One&Only Mandarina and One&Only Palmilla

There is nothing quite like discovering Mexico with One&Only Resorts. The way the light cascades over your Treehouse Villa at One&Only Mandarina and illuminates the canopies below your balcony as you enjoy your morning coffee, or the way the azure shores lap up Baja’s sparkling coastline at One&Only Palmilla on your nightly beach walk, One&Only captures the allure of a place and bottles it up for an unforgettable experience. If you’re searching for a retreat to escape to as this month’s cold front sets in, One&Only is a magical choice.

LET'S START PLANNING

Secluded Caribbean islands with beautiful sandy beaches, clifftop ocean views, and sun-drenched balconies are often accompanied by large crowds and noisy nightlife. However, there’s one destination that remains true to quiet, unfiltered island life. St. Kitts and Nevis, and more particularly, Park Hyatt St. Kitts embraces the slow, carefree nature of island living with a twist of luxury.

At Park Hyatt St. Kitts, guests enjoy unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea, guided aquatic activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, or paddle-boarding, and of course, luxury touches. Whether it be dining on world-class cuisine at Stone Barn, the resort’s exclusive adults-only restaurant or relaxing during a variety of spa treatments by expert, local healers, Park Hyatt St. Kitts is the ideal destination for a fun-filled getaway. St. Kitts is simple to get to with a short direct flight from JFK, making it the perfect option for a last-minute vacation or spring break destination. If you’re in search of a quick dose of Vitamin D during winter’s chilly months, look no further than Park Hyatt St. Kitts!

Canouan or Miami

Whether your preferred getaway is one of seclusion, private moments, and quality time spent with loved ones on an idyllic shore or an escape to lavish luxury where colorful brunches, vibrant cocktails and entertaining nightlife are just around the corner, Mandarin Oriental perfects both with ease.

For the slow traveler, discover Mandarin Oriental Canouan, perched in the heart of The Grenadines on a private island, where gently lapping waves serve as the backdrop to a stunning estate-style resort. A chic atmosphere paying homage to Caribbean luxury compliments the panoramic turquoise ocean views and provides a comfortable perch for lounging as you watch privately chartered yachts and catamarans sail by. For the cosmopolitan traveler, excited by the thrill of a busy itinerary, enjoy the sun and sand without compromising the allure of a big city at Mandarin Oriental Miami. Located on the exclusive island of Brickell Key, the property boasts plenty of opportunities to see and be seen. Spend your days test driving a LUCID luxury car, exclusive for Mandarin Oriental Miami guests, or let the tastes of La Mar by Gastón Acurio serve as the meeting point before a memorable night downtown. Time under the sun is what you make it, and Mandarin Oriental makes it the most memorable!

Let’s start planning those WOW moments.
