ON THE OTHER SIDE…
SPRINGTIME ESCAPES (WHERE THE GRASS REALLY IS GREENER)
| HELLO TRAVELER! |
| Ahh, the color green. Nature’s most prominent hue and one that evokes feelings of peace, renewal and refreshment. As winter stretches on, you might be tempted by greener pastures that lie abroad. From the Scottish Highlands to the rainforests of Costa Rica, rolling vineyards of Tuscany, and last (but not least) striking Pitons of St. Lucia, there’s no shortage of color, culture and splendor to absorb. Get in touch today to saturate your spring in gorgeous hues and exceptional experiences. For travel near or far, I can’t wait to plan your safe and hassle-free springtime escape! |
| EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN SCOTLAND |
| EMBARK ON A 10-DAY PRIVATE LUXURY TOUR WITH ARTISANS OF LEISURE |
| This 10-day luxury tour of Scotland combines the fascinating culture and history of Edinburgh, the spectacular beauty of the Highlands and the Isle of Skye (where those cute Scottish coos graze), and the unique outdoor activities of Gleneagles, an exceptional country resort in Perthshire. Enjoy private touring and transfers, as well as customized activities such as hiking, whiskey tasting, architecture tours, and visits to historic sites. Scotland is a magical place worth visiting any time of year, but to experience it in the spring with sunnier days, fewer crowds, and cherry blossoms in bloom is true bliss. Private perks: All tours are private, highly personalized and completely luxurious. You’ll receive complimentary breakfasts, special amenities, and VIP treatment. |
| EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN COSTA RICA |
| JOURNEY TO A SECLUDED RAINFOREST WELLNESS RETREAT |
| Spring is actually the optimal time to visit a Costa Rican rainforest as mid-December through April is its dry season. There are amazing properties throughout the country, but in the spirit of going green, I recommend a holistic wellness escape to El Silencio Lodge & Spa. The sustainable yet luxurious eco-lodge is comprised of 24 freestanding stilted suites and villas built to minimize environmental impact on the 500 acres of cloud forest below. Here you’ll hike (or ride horses) to hidden waterfalls, enjoy cultural experiences, and indulge in exceptional treatments at the nature-immersed spa. When evening comes, dine on delicious organic cuisine during a torch-lit forest dinner before retreating to your elevated luxury suite. Private perks: $100 spa credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more. |
| EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN TUSCANY |
| SATISFY YOUR APPETITE IN ONE OF ITALY’S FINEST REGIONS |
| If your hobbies include sipping wine and soaking up the sun (gorgeous vistas a plus), look no further than a springtime escape to Tuscany. Springtime brings wonderfully warm and longer days, and the countryside turns lush and green with fruit trees and flowers in bloom. I recommend staying at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco. This 5,000-acre estate is located within UNESCO’s Val d’Orcia Natural Park and in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino wine-making region. Make yourself at home in a stylish suite or Tuscan villa with exquisitely landscaped gardens and heated, stone-clad swimming pools. Be sure to venture to the onsite winery for a private lesson in cooking a delectable three-course Tuscan meal, or simply embrace la dolce far niente — the sweetness of doing nothing. Private perks: €85 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more. |
| EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN ST. LUCIA |
| SOAK UP THE SUN AND UNBELIEVABLE VIEWS IN THE CARIBBEAN |
| With just 37 suites, Ladera is an intimate sanctuary of luxury, romance, and adventure. This memorable St. Lucia resort is perched 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea on a lush volcanic ridgeline (that doubles as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Befitting the resort’s eco-friendly philosophy, each suite is uniquely constructed from locally harvested tropical hardwoods, stone and tile. Art lovers will appreciate that the furniture is crafted onsite by St. Lucian artisans. Enjoy your own private heated plunge pool and open-air design with unobstructed views of deep blue waters and the majestic Pitons (the island’s set of mountainous volcanic spires). This island is lush and spectacular any time of year, but springtime brings ideal temperatures and lesser crowds, too. Private perks: $100 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more. |
