This serene coastal refuge is just a couple hours east of New York City, yet the Sound View Greenport feels like it could be worlds away.

Book early-if you can book at all. The KAI Sengokuhara, an upscale ryokan from Hoshino Resorts, often sells out year-round, perhaps because it has just 16 guest rooms, and each comes complete with its own private outdoor onsen, which is a luxurious rarity in Japan. If you are able to score a room, you'll be lucky enough to experience the ryokan's stunning views of Mount Kintoki and the surrounding forests.

If wild western charm is what you're after, you'll find it in spades at Dunton Hot Springs, just outside a meticulously restored Colorado ghost town nestled in a quiet nook of the San Juan range of the Rocky Mountains. There are a number of adorable cabins you can book, but Well House is the only accommodation at the resort to be built around its now small, on-demand hot spring-which fills up with water sourced directly from the spring.
