Following the announcement of this year’s Forbes Travel Guide Star Award-winning hotels, spas, restaurants and cruise ships, there is much to celebrate.
The three distinguished properties below are in a festive mode and want to invite you to join in the revelry with packages that allow you to experience the same personalized service, Five-Star cuisine and world-class massages that FTG’s expert inspectors did during their incognito visits. Act fast, though, because these delightful deals won’t be around for long.
Fittingly, as a destination beloved by Hollywood stars, this property boasts a slew of its own. The Five-Star resort, Caruso’s restaurant and Sense, A Rosewood Spa at Miramar Beach make this Montecito hideaway a rare triple Five-Star threat. Rosewood Miramar Beach invites you to sample the tantalizing trio with its Triple Five-Star Experience (through March 21).
You get A-list treatment in the form of a night in fabulous Beach House accommodations outfitted with a private fireplace and postcard-perfect ocean views, a four-course Southern Italian dinner and wine pairings for two at Caruso’s, and two 60-minute spa sessions. And you thought only Oscar nominees were showered in perks?
Acqualina Resort and Residences on the Beach
This Mediterranean-style Miami getaway hit a 12-year Five-Star streak. Equally as impressive is the fact the 20,000-square-foot Acqualina Spa lives up to the same standard set by the resort, having earned its own Five Stars.
See what it takes for a resort to maintain such high standards for a dozen years by reserving its aptly named Fifth Night Free Package. Book four nights filled with a special welcome amenity, daily breakfast and complimentary kid’s programming through December and you get a gratis fifth evening. What should you do with all the additional leisure time? Lounge by one of the four pools or arrange a service at the aforementioned spa, of course.
Napa Valley has one of the world’s most impressive crops of wine-country estates. However, only one address in the region, the stunning Meadowood Napa Valley, can toast to having a Five-Star resort and spa.
Sprawled across 250 acres, the property offers standout service (see: hand-written notes left on pillowcases) and rooms adorned in rustic elegance. Meadowood’s Forbes Five-Star Getaway not only welcomes guests with a two-night stay in a spacious unit equipped with a private fireplace and terrace, but it also comes with an unforgettable day at Meadowood Spa that includes an hour-long Tree House Bath Experience and whatever other service you request with your $500 spa credit.
