When you really want to show your dad (or the dad in your life) how much you care, skip the necktie and barbecue routine and get him a trip he’ll never forget.
From outdoor adventures and golf galore to macho massages, these seven fantastic spots are offering up some prime packages for a fantastic Father’s Day (June 17) getaway this year.
Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
If you and your pops are golfers, then get some exceptional one-on-one time while playing the links at this Nassau, Bahamas, oceanside resort. The Unlimited Golf for Two package includes unlimited play during off-peak hours, at least one tee time per day during peak hours, a caddie, a cart and transportation to and from the greens. And what a layout it is — the Royal Blue is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course that overlooks the water on many of the holes.
After a day on the links, try your luck in the property’s casino — the more than 100,000-square-foot gaming floor is the largest in the Caribbean.

The Inn on Biltmore Estate
The historic Biltmore House and its breathtaking grounds are open for visitors all year round in Asheville, North Carolina, but dear old dad will surely appreciate your savviness when you purchase a daytime ticket for June 16 or 17 — the price of admission is more than 60 percent off for one day that special weekend.
That means you get to take in the scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains, tour the grandiose estate — don’t miss the spectacular, just-opened Chihuly exhibition in the garden — and even partake in a complimentary wine tasting, all at a steep discount.
Make it a weekend to remember by booking a stay at the Four-Star inn, where you can sleep in gorgeous accommodations and dine fireside.
