Lodge on Little St. Simons Island
Saint Simons Island, Georgia
View Website | View TripAdvisor Reviews
Surround yourself in natural beauty, Southern hospitality, and the escape of a private barrier island that seems worlds removed from anything happening back home. A part of Georgia’s famed Golden Isles, Little St. Simons Islands offers seven miles of empty beaches, 10,000 acres of wilderness, and wonderful animal encounters and sightings. A maximum of 32 guests can stay at the lodge, which was originally built in 1917 as a private hunting lodge. Today the resort, which can only be reached by boat, caters to people looking for VIP service, fresh seafood, and a getaway like no other.

Club Med Sandpiper Bay
Port St. Lucie, Florida
View Website | View TripAdvisor Reviews
Club Med was for many years the most prominent name in the all-inclusive business, which tells you that they know how to make package vacations feel like real escapes. The Club Med Sandpiper Bay is in Port St. Lucie, about half way between Miami and Orlando, so driving or flying here with your girlfriends is easy. While there, you’ll have access to gourmet dining, open bars, and activities like paddle boarding, sailing, tennis, and more. For a big savings, look to travel during shoulder seasons, when crowds have left South Florida and headed elsewhere.
