Reopening on June 1, Shou Sugi Ban House, located just two hours outside of New York City in the Hamptons, defines itself as discreetly luxurious with an aesthetic inspired by the Japanese principles of wabi-sabi – a world view focused on the beauty of transience and imperfection.  This thirteen-room retreat values healing properties found in the natural world, and upon arrival, you’ll instantly be transported into a tranquil environment, and will depart feeling wholly rejuvenated in both mind and body. This getaway encourages you to return to the simplicity of self: a lesson we feel the universe is urging us to learn.

Amangiri, which means “mountain of peace” in Sanskrit, is an otherwordly desert oasis currently open and accepting reservations. Tucked into 600 pristine acres in Southern Utah, let your eyes fool you as they gaze at the sweeping vistas you’re sure to mistake for a mirage of paintings. Those who believe that nature is the best kind of art will marvel at the geologic wonders that comprise the American Southwest. Take in the dramatic views of Grand Staircase-Escalante and enjoy privileged access to the greatest concentration of nearby national parks, currently undergoing phased reopenings. This region is home to the Navajo, whose proverb reads, “Be still and the earth will speak to you.” Be sure to let us know what it has to say once you arrive in this starkly beautiful setting.

Private perks: Upgrade on arrival, full daily breakfast for two, $125 per person spa credit for two guests, early check-in, late check-out, complimentary wi-fi, and more.
