Places Off-the-Beaten Path

An ideal spot for families, Hawks Cay has endless activities to keep kids (and parents!) entertained, from coral reef diving and fishing charters to paddle boarding and watching dolphins in the Saltwater Lagoon.

Coolcation Destinations

Off-Season Spots
Preidlhof Resort
Italy in the summer is too hot, too populated and too exhausting. In the spring, however, it makes for the perfect relaxing getaway. In the northern part of the country, the region of South Tyrol is home to the acclaimed wellness resort Preidlhof. Nestled among the peaks and crystal blue lakes of the Dolomites, Preidlhof gives guests an unforgettable and impactful wellness experience, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. With nine distinct wellness retreats, on-site wellness experts and doctors, a six-floor sauna tower and premium spa, Preidlhof’s specialization in holistic wellness is sure to set any guest off on a journey to better mental and physical wellbeing.
Sofitel New York
New York City is a popular tourist spot with good reason – but in the summer and during the holidays, it’s on everyone’s travel list, making for an over-crowded, over-stimulating experience. NYC is best enjoyed in the off-season, especially as it boasts some of the greatest spring scenery around. Located in midtown with great city views and proximity to Bryant Park, 5th Ave. shopping, Times Square and the best Broadway theaters, there’s no better NYC tourist stay than the luxurious, Parisian-style Sofitel New York.
