As we slide into summer’s last stretch, tropical, beachy getaways continue to dominate on our Instagram account, @ForbesTravelGuide. Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea took over our account in July and as a result, four of the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star property’s photos landed on our top 10 hotels list.

But our followers also found travel inspiration in under-the-radar destinations as well. About 45 minutes northeast of Atlanta in Braselton, Château Élan is a tucked-away gem that beckons with scenic grounds that have two 18-hole golf courses and a winery. The Georgia hotel snagged our No. 1 spot with the above shot.

Another overlooked hotel made our top three. Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa may have a chic Miami design and Cuban flair, but the boutique property resides in Vero Beach, a quietly sophisticated town along Florida’s Atlantic Coast.
