The Greenbrier
White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
One of the USA’s oldest resorts, the Greenbrier has been around since 1778. Thanks to its location near White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, (about 190 kilometers southeast of Charleston), thousands of people have visited to “take to the waters” and soak in the mineral-rich springs. Not much has changed in nearly 240 years: You can still benefit from the enriching minerals at the Greenbrier’s spa. The Greenbrier also has a meditation and healing expert who leads group meditations and offers individual spiritual and energy healing therapies. If you’re craving a hike, bike ride or relaxing stroll, you can do so in the property’s beautiful gardens and along the nearby trails, which are open year-round.
This historic resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, offers plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.
Montage Deer Valley
Park City, Utah
Tucked away in the beautiful, forested slopes of Deer Valley, Utah (just steps from vibrant and eccentric Park City), the Montage Deer Valley has a sequestered feel that belies its central location. Although this resort is best known for its proximity to the area’s coveted ski slopes, the Montage Deer Valley boasts an array of healthy year-round activities. The Montage has a renowned 3,250-square-meter spa that houses a top-notch gym, indoor and outdoor pools with sweeping views of the valley, and a studio for yoga, Pilates and dance.

Enjoy the natural sights of the island with a horseback ride beneath the resort’s lush palm tree canopies, an outrigger canoe tour of Hana Bay or a drive along the scenic Hana Highway.
