Still cold and in need of sunshine? We have picked 5 amazing hotels that you can getaway to this spring for a change of scene, and in the case of Hawaii, Key West and Newport Beach, a spot of sunshine.
In our articles we try to inspire, with boutique hotels that you might not have heard of, luxury hotels in remote locations and hidden gems away from the crowds.
In this selection we love the Four Seasons on Lanai (pictured above) as it has the one of the most remote and empty beaches in North America. The Ibis Bay in Key West is a sunny and funky destination. The Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach will bring out your nautical side. Barrons Cove On Sag Harbor is a glorious beach resort in the Hamptons and although the sunshine may be intermittent, given that it is spring, you will certainly be free of crowds and able to enjoy this beautiful waterscape when it is most beautiful. Finally we pick the Post Ranch Inn on Big Sur. This hotel is unique and, dare I say it, magical. If you long for the vista from the last scene of the TV series “Mad Men” – this is where you should travel to.
Read, travel, stay, bask on the beach and then make your friends jealous of your tan when you return home!

Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor, A Beach Resort In The Hamptons
If you haven't heard of Curtis Bashaw, he is a New Jersey hotelier whose properties turned Cape May into a chic beach resort. He has now turned his eye to the Hamptons, specifically Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor, on the east end of Long Island, about 100 miles outside of Manhattan. Sag Harbor has a rich history as a thriving whaling port. The village is now known for its waterfront resort qualities, meandering tree-lined streets, 18th and 19th century architecture and casually sophisticated way of life.
Review: Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, California
Perched on the clifftop of Big Sur, a rugged stretch of California’s coastline between Carmel and San Simeon, sits the breathtaking Post Ranch Inn. This is the perfect overnight stop, to break up the drive along this scenic Californian Highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. From Carmel, the drive takes 40 minutes down the spectacular Highway 1. Bordered to the east by the Santa Lucia Mountains and enormous redwoods, and to the west by the glittering Pacific Ocean, the Post Ranch Inn is a wood and glass structure built on stilts on the top of the hillside.
