Set on the private island of Félicité, Six Senses Zil Payson features 30 pool villas and multi-bedroom residences, coral-fringed beaches, and a variety of activity picks. For some quality couple’s time, though, check into one of the private islands resorts-some of which are convenient to exploring other islands, while others have a more Castaway feel. Ringed by some of the most stunning beaches around and blessed with consistently pleasant temps all year, the Indian Ocean archipelago offers both fun in the sun and a unique culture rich with African, French, British, Indian, and Islamic influences. When it comes to reconnecting à deux, few things beat an island getaway-especially when you’ve got that island pretty much all to yourselves.

When it comes time to turn in, soothe your well-used muscles at the Hotel Talisa, a member of the Luxury Collection portfolio. The popular Gore Creek Trail, a 10-mile round-trip journey that takes you along a creek and through meadows, Aspen groves, and fir and spruce forests up to an alpine tundra, also has playful add-ons like the Take a Llama to Lunch experience, in which a llama will ferry a locally sourced meal for you to enjoy at a creek-side picnic spot. If you prefer not to go it alone, consider booking a guided hike via Walking Mountains Science Center, whose guides are all certified first responders and nature experts. The Berry Picker trail on Vail Mountain is also not to be missed, offering two intensity options-the tougher trail brings you to the top of Eagle’s Nest, where you can enjoy a brunch at Game Creek Restaurant, while the easier downhill version will have you celebrating at Vail Brewing Company or 10th Mountain Whisky & Spirits. The popular Booth Lake Trail (often called “the quintessential Vail hike” for its stunning mountain and alpine stream views) can be done in half- or full-day treks, with the former leading you to a waterfall. For a varied selection of hiking options-and great pit stops at the end-look to the areas around Vail. The Centennial State may be best known for its winter pursuits, but when the snow melts along the Rocky Mountains, those world-class peaks and trails become prime areas for hikers.
