1.
Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort; Hilton Head, South Carolina
$143/night;
[post_ads]For an easy reprieve from the biting winter winds, head to sunny
South Carolina and book a stay at the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront
Resort. There, you’ll find three four-star rated (by the experts at Golf Digest)
golf greens, a state-of-the-art spa, two outdoor pools (one splash, one
regular), and a whole lot of tropical verdure. Best of all, you’ll be
mere steps away from an endless cascade of sugar-sand beachfront. And

Sea Crest Beach Hotel; North Falmouth, Massachusetts
$149/night;
Valentine’s Day may be all said and done, but romance is still in the
air. The Sea Crest Beach Hotel, right off Cape Cod’s stunning Old
Silver Beach, offers up a “winter romance package” through April Fool’s
Day. In addition to an oceanfront view, you’ll get a bottle of Champagne
(yes, the good stuff), decadent truffles, and an all-inclusive
breakfast for two. Our recommendation? Fellas, take the breakfast in
bed. She’ll love the romance. And if you’re a man looking for ways to
bring your A-game,

3.
Sunriver Resort; Bend, Oregon
$109/night;
Get a load of the great outdoors by snagging a two-bedroom cabin at
the Sunriver Resort. Located just outside of Bend, you’ll be no more
than a 20-minute drive away from Mount Bachelor, which features 101
trails and, as of this writing, 75 inches of packed fresh powder. During
the summer months, you’ll have access a nature reserve, horseback
riding trails, and four golf courses. (Two are privately reserved for
hotel guests.) Or, if the outdoors simply aren’t your thing, you can
stay inside and make the most of a rock climbing wall and an
indoor-surfing center.
4.
Jekyll Island Club Resort; Jekyll Island, Georgia
The Jekyll Island Club Resort, one of the Historic Hotels of America (as officially designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation), is the place to go if you want a seriously serene escape. Located on—and named for—one of Georgia’s pristine Golden Isles, the resort is far enough removed from mainland hustle and bustle you’ll be hard-pressed to think about about anything other than kicking back and relaxing.

5.
The Monaco; Salt Lake City, Utah
$149/night;
Every sumptuously done-up room at The Monaco comes replete with a
yoga mat. That should give you an idea of the place’s mien—one of equal
parts luxury and tranquility. The hotel itself is located right in the
middle of downtown Salt Lake City, so you’ll be no more than a stone’s
throw away from the bustling theater district and its vibrant wining and
dining scene. Then, when you’re tuckered out from urban adventuring,
nine ski resorts—including Brighton, Deer Valley, Snowbird, and the
crown jewel of west coast powder, Alta—are all a short drive away.

6.
Bavarian Inn Lodge; Frankenmuth, Michigan
$120/night;
If you have kids in tow, drag them to the Bavarian Inn Lodge, a
quaint resort in equally quaint Frankenmuth, Michigan. The hotel is
known for a robust arcade, a Wonka-esque mini-golf course, and an indoor
waterpark, which features a set of thrilling waterslides. The slides
start indoors, then twist and turn outside of the building before correcting course and depositing riders back into the comfort of a heated indoor pool.
7.
Princess Royale Oceanfront Hotel; Ocean City, Maryland
From $89/night;
Kick back on a poolside balcony or lounge under a swaying palm tree,
all while noshing on buttery lobster rolls and fresh-made kettle cooked
chips. Once you’ve had your fill, pay a visit to the umbrella-covered
beachside cabana for a potent, similarly umbrella-covered mojito or
margarita. Yes, The Princess Royale is waterfront R&R at its finest.
8.
White Point Beach Resort; White Point, Nova Scotia
From $119/night;
Visiting the achingly scenic White Point Beach Resort is like walking
into a postcard—if that postcard were brimming with activity. Book in
the winter for some cold weather lobstering, or wait until summer to try
your hand—or feet, rather—at some of Atlantic-side Canada’s best
surfing.
9.
Surfsand Resort; Cannon Beach, Oregon
From $129/night;
For $25, Surfsand Resort will give you all the accoutrements
necessary to build a roaring, sky-high bonfire—which you can build and
stoke right on their private beach. Then, when you’re done sating your
s’mores fix, head to their fully decked out spa. There, you can choose
from 21 different massages, ranging from your standard couples massage
to an aroma-filled, five-sense-sating “chakra balancing” one.

10.
The Peppermill; Reno, Nevada
From $102/night;
Start your day with a workout at the state-of-the-art fitness center. Relax your muscles at the caldarium
(pictured). Hit the craps or poker tables (if that’s your thing). Grab a
cocktail at the Terrace Lounge, then wolf down a filet mignon at Bimini
Steakhouse before heading to the in-house Edge nightclub for an evening
of partying into the wee hours. Talk about luxury. And if you are
planning on hitting the gambling floor,
