Planning a winter getaway from New York? If so, what kind of getaway are you looking for: one where you can embrace the cold, or one where you can truly get away from it?

Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo has been a Central Florida staple since 2001, offering families an anachronistic (and even somewhat incongruous) alternative to the crowded Orlando resorts. At River Ranch, the Wild West meets Old Florida, exemplified by a saloon, horseback riding, guided hunts, and America’s longest-running Saturday night rodeo. In keeping with the the resort’s immersive theming, you’ll find a variety of glamping accommodations. Think Luxe Teepees, Conestoga Wagons, Railcars and more, complete with a full range of home-like amenities. Getting a good night’s sleep has never been more fun!

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg is the perfect home base for exploring the Texas Wine Trail. With breathtaking scenery, it beckons you to get out and explore, and with cooler weather, winter is the perfect time to do it, whether you want to go on a romantic sunset hike or take a scenic drive along Devil’s Backbone.
Onera Fredericksburg is a landscape hotel that immerses you in the singular beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Choose from a variety of unique accommodations ranging from treehouses to yurts to geodesic domes and container homes, each thoughtfully appointed with a full set of home-like comforts.

Meanwhile, an on-site pool, hot tub, sauna, and Dark-Sky-Community stargazing offer ample opportunities for romance and relaxation with your significant other.
If New York’s icy winters are one end of the spectrum, winter in Kona, Hawaii is about as close to the opposite end as you can get. Here, soothing sunshine, warm breezes, and a laid-back island rhythm create the ultimate antidote to your winter blues. Get active with coffee farm tours, volcano hikes, and even snorkeling (winter water temperatures bob between 75 and 77 degrees). Or, spend your days relaxing on the beach or browsing local farmers markets. No matter your preferred vacation mode, Kona promises the ultimate winter reset.
