Just one hour from Atlanta and Chattanooga, Barnsley Resort is home to a world of outdoor recreation, with a championship golf course, horseback riding, and one of the top sporting clays shooting facilities, with 1,800 acres of land for quail hunting & duck hunts. Southern hospitality is on full display here, whether you're saying in the refined inn or the cottages arranged in an English-style village. After a day out in nature, kick back at one of the resort's excellent restaurants, which range from fine dining to a beer garden, or check into the spa for some serious pampering.

Cala de Mar
Ixtapa, MX

Picture this: You're wading around your private infinity-edged plunge pool before a romantic private dinner for two, all while taking in breathaking views of the Pacific Ocean. That's part of the experience at Cala de Mar, tucked into the dramatic cliffside between the Sierra Madre Mountains and the blue ocean waters. The other parts? Think lounging in a hammock in your spacious suite, sampling fresh seafood straight from the ocean, and immersing yourself in Mexican culture on-site and in nearby Ixtapa, all of which is arranging through the dedicated personal assistant included with your stay. Not too shabby, huh?

The Terrace on the 23rd floor is one of the city's great outdoor spaces, and is where guests, or residents as they're called here, enjoy breakfast and evening F&B experiences. The location is ideal, with Carnegie Hall next door and NYC at your fingertips.
