Luxury Vacations & Road Trips in the USA

Evocative and dramatic, Dunton Hot Springs is a romantic 1800s ghost town of renovated cabins set in its own alpine valley. From here, you can enjoy some of the most dramatic horse riding in America. Explore snow-dusted tracks. Ford tumbling rivers. Experience the west in all its majesty and freedom.

By night, the warm waters off Keauhou Bay come alive with a mass of graceful manta rays. With some of the creatures growing up to 16ft in length, you’ll join certified guides and crew to experience this truly spectacular nocturnal ballet – witnessing some of nature’s most stunning creatures in their own underwater realm.

Here, at Paws Up Ranch, you’ll encounter 37,000 acres of pristine wilderness and parkland. Only it’s private. Located in vast tracts of jaw-dropping scenery, you can experience everything from white-water rafting and horseback trails to fly fishing and clay shooting. A true taste of old America wrapped up with unbeatable modern luxury.

The so-called ‘Holy City’ offers a true taste of the new old America. Its charming colonial architecture and cobbled streets are properly thronged with on-trend wine bars, distilleries, retail and restaurants. Plantation gardens, Louisiana grill, oysters and antebellum charm. We’ll introduce you to the pick of the bunch.

Travel by speedboat across one of the world’s greatest and largest lakes. Framed by towering buttes and ochre massifs, the region has, since 1869, drawn adventurous sailors and adventurers to its iconic landscapes – including photogenic Antelope Canyon to the Rainbow Bridge National Monument.

Enjoy simple pleasures done differently. You don’t need to visit Napa Valley to drink its legendary Cabernet Sauvignon, but it does taste better when sipped amongst its sweeping vineyards with your own personal sommelier. Jump the waiting list to score the best seat in the house at Yountville’s celebrated three-Michelin-starred restaurant, The French Laundry, where Thomas Keller’s signature oysters and pearls will take you to gastronomical paradise.

Immerse yourself in the rawness of Alaska where wilderness means uncharted territory and mountains with no name. Feel reborn as you hike the mysterious terrain surrounding Ultima Thule Lodge with a local expert. Marvel the neon green aurora from a bespoke luxury Blink campsite or take in the world-class view of the Don Sheldon Amphitheater from the exclusive Sheldon Chalet which can accommodate just 10 people at a time. Our Alaska experience will fuel conversation for a lifetime of dinner parties.

The towering red walls of Zion National Park are the stuff of legend. On this thrilling hike, you’ll traverse the course of the North Fork river; a stunning gorge of monumental sandstone, smudged in trails of orange, purple, and black. The full route can take two days, seeing you camp within the bounds of its ancient embrace.

If we do one thing, it’s that we do things differently. With Black Tomato’s luxury camping service Blink, we can set up a luxurious, all-inclusive amp within the bounds of this most majestic of National Parks, including at the quiet north rim of the Grand Canyon itself. Check out our award-winning Blink service for more.

Privacy is taken to new heights at the 6,000ft high Sheldon Chalet in Alaska. Sitting pretty above the snow-capped panorama of Denali National Park, this luxury chalet features just five guest rooms, all geared towards first-class service. Whether you seek adventure or disconnection, you’ll find it all amongst the pristine wilderness. Once back, expect gourmet dinners comprising of locally sourced produce and world-beating wines, before retiring to the comforts of your room where fur throws and contemplative views of the vast snowy tundra come as standard.
