There’s something special about summer camp the songs, the bonfires, the independence. But while the kids are off making lifelong memories, what about you? For parents, camp season isn’t just a milestone it’s a moment. A window. An invitation to rediscover time together. If you’ve been craving late dinners without babysitters, curfews, spa days without schedules, or mornings that begin without cartoons, these handpicked luxury summer getaways offer the perfect escape.
Blackberry Farm & Blackberry Mountain, Tennessee
Nature, Nourishment, and Nap-Optional Days
Set in the rolling foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, these sister properties are the epitome of refined rustic luxury. From gourmet farm-to-table meals to fly-fishing and sunrise yoga, Blackberry offers a serene Southern setting that feels far from home but is surprisingly accessible by direct flights to most big cities. Ideal for a long weekend getaway that blends wellness with indulgence.
Twin Farms, Vermont
An Adults-Only Retreat for Cool Summer Days
Tucked away in the Vermont countryside, Twin Farms is an all-inclusive, adults-only haven where no detail is overlooked. Personalized dining, private art collections, and cottages are designed for a restorative retreat. And if you're feeling a little adventurous during your stay, you can pair this visit with a small road trip to coastal Kennebunkport, just 3 hours away for a New England duo that's as crisp as it is cozy.
The Green O & Triple Creek Ranch, Montana
Luxury Ranches for Grown-Up Adventure
Prefer your getaway with a little grit mixed with glam? The Green O and Triple Creek Ranch offer adults-only Western charm with a twist of luxury. Expect horseback rides, fireside wine tastings, stargazing tubs, and five-star cuisine all nestled in Montana's wide-open beauty. These are sophisticated takes on the dude ranch, perfect for reconnecting over shared adventure.
Amangiri, Utah
Desert Solitude Meets Design-Lover’s Dream
If your idea of escape involves dramatic landscapes, national parks, and a spa that redefines “next level,” Amangiri delivers. Located near Lake Powell and ideal for active couples, it’s a favorite for those who want to feel completely away from crowds, from chaos, from responsibility.
Aspen, Colorado
Cool Air, Hot Tubs, and Elevated Experiences
With temps that hover around perfection and a mountain town vibe that feels both intimate and elevated, it's a dream for June–August escapes. Yes, Aspen can be very kid-friendly, but there’s an adult side too: long hikes by day (looking at you, Maroon Bells), relaxing spa visits, afternoon shopping, and long late-night dinners thanks to the town’s impressive restaurant scene.
Napa Valley, California
Vineyard Views and Five-Star Indulgence
For wine lovers and wellness seekers, Napa Valley in summer is hard to beat and Four Seasons Napa adds a polished edge to the region’s rustic charm. Set on a working vineyard in Calistoga, the property features its own wine label, vineyard-facing rooms, and a tucked-away tasting room. Rooms are spacious and luxurious, with oversized soaking tubs, but travelers should note: ground-floor Vineyard View rooms face the parking lot, so the Mountain View rooms are worth the upgrade for privacy. KJT advisor Melissa recently visited and called the service, design, and dining a standout, especially the Michelin-starred Auro, where select guests can dine right inside the chef’s kitchen. Add in bikes for exploring town, a scenic pool setup, and festive touches during the holidays, and for a touch of adventure, guests can explore the valley in style with the resort's luxury Dream Drive Experience or have the Concierge book a hot-air balloon ride.
Big Sur, California
Wild Coast, Wellness Vibes, and Waking Up to the Pacific
Along California’s craggy coast, Big Sur blends raw beauty with coastal charm. Stay at the iconic Post Ranch Inn, where treehouse-like suites open to ocean views, and days begin with guided hikes and end with wine by a wood-burning fire. If you have a full week, we love combining this hard-to-reach destination with another stop or two along the West Coast adding in golf, wineries, or beachside escapes.
Mexico City
Urban Culture with a Side of Mezcal
When camp drop-off is behind you and you're craving close-to-home culture, Mexico City is a great solution. From its buzzy restaurant scene to contemporary art galleries and rooftop cocktails, this city pulses with adult energy. For a longer stay you can visit Chichen Itza pyramids, take a hot air balloon ride over Teotihuacan or maybe even take a cooking or mixology class. Perfect for couples who thrive on city energy, late nights, and architectural eye candy.
Just as kids grow through camp, parents thrive with time away. These escapes aren’t just about relaxation they’re about reconnection, curiosity, and giving yourself permission to be present, without the background noise of everyday life. Whether you’re staying close to camp for peace of mind or flying off into the sunset, we’ll help you find the perfect adult getaway to match your moment.
