New Destinations My 7 Favorite Beach Resorts for a Warm Weather Getaway With February starting and Spring still feeling far away, I am getting lots of calls for a warm-weather getaway, either for Spring Break or a long weekend escape from the cold. It is prime time in the Caribbean and Mexico, so finding the best value is important. While many of my clients have favorite places they visit year after year, here are some of my favorites that I am quick to recommend. |

Experiences Caribbean Dive and Dine Slip into a wetsuit and join a Four Seasons Chef and a Nevisian dive master and catch the elusive spiny lobster the way the locals do – using a handmade lasso. Back on shore, you’ll sip cocktails on the beach while the chef prepares your lobster feast. The chef will also share the recipe for a special Caribbean-style sofrito marinade, made with organic ingredients from the Resort’s herb garden, used to bring out the natural sweetness of the lobsters. | | |

Hotels The Saxon Hotel Johannesburg The Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa is worth an overnight in Johannesburg. Mandela stayed here when it was still a private home and it is where he wrote his autobiography. The food is exceptional - both the acclaimed multi-course experience at Grei as well as the fresh Qunu. The grounds are filled with fragrant flowers and serve as an oasis in this bustling destination. The rooms spectacular. Make an overnight stop on the way to safari and take in the Apartheid Museum, wonderful art galleries and more in this vibrant city. | | |
