Situated on 296 untouched acres of protected forests, Tortuga Island offers a dreamy escape from the mainland. Los Sueños Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort offers a 45-minute catamaran ride to the elusive island where guests can opt to explore the rainforest by foot (and spot peacocks and iguanas along the way) or take a dip in the crystal clear waters.
Sip on a 296-Year-Old Bottle of Wine, Washington D.C.
Where can you find one of the world’s last bottles of a 296-year-old 1720 Madeira, you might ask? Washington’s luxe boutique hotel The Jefferson is saving a sip just for you and a special guest. At $1,720 per 2 0z. pour, we promise it will be the smoothest (and possibly the priciest) glass of wine you’ll probably ever taste.

Appropriately dubbed the “Horse Capital of the World” Lexington is brimming with hundreds of incredible horse farms. Seasoned riders, or simply animal enthusiasts, can get an insider’s peek at the equine industry through the city’s new Horse Country program—from meeting famed championship thoroughbreads to wandering renowned farms.
Fill Up at a Private Chef’s Table, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Thinking of sunny Puerto Rico for your next trip? At The Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino, hungry travellers can let their tastebuds run wild when they opt for the Chef’s Table. Exec Chef Jannette Berrios will prepare a five-course meal with wine pairings as intimate groups (of 20 or less) gather in a private room hidden in the kitchen to enjoy their custom, behind-the-scenes feast.
