Sun: Mexico

If you are looking for a sun-filled holiday, Los Cabos, Mexico is a great option. The winter months feature warm temperatures (but not sweltering) and avoid the hurricane season. Additionally, the humpback whale migration starts in December.

There are many stunning resorts in Los Cabos to suit everyone. We recommend Grand Velas Los Cabos for families. Grand Velas offers the next generation of all-inclusive amenities and facilities, with dramatic ocean views and unique spaces throughout. If you are looking for a swim-able beach, we recommend One&Only Palmilla.

For couples, we recommend Esperanza. It features an amazing adults-only pool and a private beach where you can relax with a massage in a cabana. Also consider The Cape, with its amazing views of the iconic El Arco and the perfect rooftop bar to enjoy a cocktail as the sunsets.

Snow: Colorado

If you want to embrace the winter weather, be active, and go skiing with the family, Colorado is a fantastic option. Colorado has high altitude, low humidity, sunny weather, and light fluffy snow, creating perfect conditions for skiing. It also offers a range of different terrain, accommodating first-timers or expert skiers.

Colorado features many ski towns in which to enjoy your ski vacation. For families, we recommend St. Regis Aspen, an elegant sanctuary located between Aspen Mountain’s two main ski lifts. Another option is the The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch nestled in the exclusive mountain enclave of Bachelor Gulch on Beaver Creek Mountain with ski-in/ski-out access. Also consider the Four Seasons Resort Vail located at the base of Vail Mountain.

Spa: Arizona

One of the best ways to relax is going to a spa. The winter is the perfect time to go to a spa resort. A spa retreat provides time to renew your energy before a hectic holiday season, or de-stress and relax after the season. It can also provide an escape to unwind during the winter.

There are several spa resorts we recommend in Arizona that are perfect for relaxing. Canyon Ranch, an all-inclusive wellness resort located in the serenity of Sonoran desert, integrates health and wholeness and provides a getaway that goes beyond relaxation. Mii amo is a destination spa where nature nurtures your soul with Native American-inspired therapies located within the striking red rocks of Sedona Boynton Canyon. Miraval, an all-inclusive spa resort located in Arizona’s Santa Catalina Mountains offers an array of dynamic growth and development programs.
