SPRINGTIME ESCAPES (WHERE THE GRASS REALLY IS GREENER)
Ahh, the colour green. Nature’s most prominent hue and one that evokes feelings of peace, renewal and refreshment. As winter stretches on, you might be tempted by greener pastures that lie abroad.
From the Scottish Highlands to the rainforests of Costa Rica, rolling vineyards of Tuscany, and last (but not least) striking Pitons of St. Lucia, there’s no shortage of color, culture and splendor to absorb. Get in touch today to saturate your spring in gorgeous hues and exceptional experiences. For travel near or far, I can’t wait to plan your safe and hassle-free springtime escape!
EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN SCOTLAND | EMBARK ON A 10-DAY PRIVATE LUXURY TOUR WITH ARTISANS OF LEISURE
This 10-day luxury tour of Scotland combines the fascinating culture and history of Edinburgh, the spectacular beauty of the Highlands and the Isle of Skye (where those cute Scottish coos graze), and the unique outdoor activities of Gleneagles, an exceptional country resort in Perthshire. Enjoy private touring and transfers, as well as customised activities such as hiking, whiskey tasting, architecture tours, and visits to historic sites.
Private perks: All tours are private, highly personalized and completely luxurious. You’ll receive complimentary breakfasts, special amenities, and VIP treatment.
EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN COSTA RICA | JOURNEY TO A SECLUDED RAINFOREST WELLNESS RETREAT
Spring is actually the optimal time to visit a Costa Rican rainforest as mid-December through April is its dry season. There are amazing properties throughout the country, but in the spirit of going green, I recommend a holistic wellness escape to El Silencio Lodge & Spa. The sustainable yet luxurious eco-lodge is comprised of 24 freestanding stilted suites and villas built to minimize environmental impact on the 500 acres of cloud forest below.
Private perks: $100 spa credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN TUSCANY | SATISFY YOUR APPETITE IN ONE OF ITALY’S FINEST REGIONS
If your hobbies include sipping wine and soaking up the sun (gorgeous vistas a plus), look no further than a springtime escape to Tuscany. Springtime brings wonderfully warm and longer days, and the countryside turns lush and green with fruit trees and flowers in bloom. I recommend staying at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco. This 5,000-acre estate is located within UNESCO’s Val d’Orcia Natural Park and in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino wine-making region.
Private perks: €85 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
EXPERIENCE SPRINGTIME IN ST. LUCIA |SOAK UP THE SUN AND UNBELIEVABLE VIEWS IN THE CARIBBEAN
With just 37 suites, Ladera is an intimate sanctuary of luxury, romance, and adventure. This memorable St. Lucia resort is perched 1,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea on a lush volcanic ridgeline (that doubles as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Befitting the resort’s eco-friendly philosophy, each suite is uniquely constructed from locally harvested tropical hardwoods, stone and tile. Art lovers will appreciate that the furniture is crafted onsite by St. Lucian artisans.
Private perks: $100 resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
