While there’s no shortage of renowned vacation destinations found all across New England, few regions can match the idyllic beauty of Cape Cod. Located in the eastern reaches of Massachusetts, this storied peninsula draws visitors in droves each summer to take advantage of the scenic beaches and ideal sailing conditions—and as an added bonus, the region is no slouch when it comes to drinking and dining, either. High-end restaurants abound all across Cape Cod, with Wequassett Resort & Golf Club offering a wide array of both sophisticated and casual dining venues for guests to enjoy.
First opened in 1925, this storied estate has developed into one of Harwich’s most prestigious hotels—and for those hoping to experience its splendor in culinary form, there’s no beating Twenty-Eight Atlantic. Adorned with a large fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight the beauty of the surrounding shore, this esteemed Forbes Five-Star restaurant draws gastronomes from far and wide to take advantage of its seasonal menu. In previous years, the venue has offered a prestigious three-course prix fixe menu complete with dishes like guanciale and shiitake-loaded lobster carbonara and foie-infused duck in a sage jus—and while Twenty-Eight Atlantic has mastered the art of high gastronomy, it’s far from the only dining option found across the property.
During the winter months, Thoreau’s serves as a particularly cozy drinking and dining destination, with a roaring fireplace and picturesque mahogany bar gracing the interior of the space. Seafood dishes abound on the menu, with jalapeño yellowtail sashimi, clam chowder and honey lacquered pork belly serving as just a few dishes up for grabs, but Thoreau’s has also earned abundant acclaim for its top-quality cocktails, with classics like the old fashioned and hot toddy serving as the perfect choice on a cold night. Meanwhile, summer visitors can find a wide variety of refreshing drinks and savory seafood dishes at Libaytion, an outdoor venue that offers gorgeous beach views paired with live entertainment.
While Cape Cod is renowned for its thriving seafood scene, the high demand for local fish and mollusks can put a strain on the surrounding environment—but fortunately, Wequassett Resort holds sustainability as a top priority, with Executive Chef James Hackney seeking only ethically-sourced sea life for each of the property’s dining venues. When it comes to working with vendors, Chef Hackney ensures that all businesses have exhibited a steadfast commitment to responsible fishing practices and proper fishery management, with current vendors ranging from Foley Fish—a longstanding New England business that debuted in 1906—to Wulf’s Fish, a Bay State company that’s been

Passing over the Atlas Mountains in 1925, the French military photographer Marcelin Flandrin spotted a Barbary lion walking through the sand.

With more than 300 sunny days per year, daytime temps that rarely dip below 65, and an armada of resorts, Phoenix, Arizona is a great getaway for any group gathering that prioritizes pool time, day drinking, and a few rounds of golf. But the city's appeal goes deeper: The area's natural beauty inspired designers and artists like Frank Lloyd Wright, Maxfield Parrish, and Paolo Soleri. And despite its enormous growth (the metro area topped 5 million last year), the increasingly diverse city still retains a frontier spirit: Newcomers are reinventing everything from its food scene to its art circuit, making Phoenix one of America's best under-the-radar destinations.
The magic of hospitality is staying in a place that isn’t anything like home. A castle, a treehouse, a farm, a yurt: all such places promise an escape from the every day, especially when combined with luxury flourishes that boggle the mind. I am still wondering how ice showed up in the Gobi desert at the Three Camels Lodge in Mongolia or how blueberries came to be served at breakfast at the Explora Lodge on Easter Island. Or, in the case of the Four Seasons in Madrid, how a hotel combined seven historic properties into one sensational art destination.
