Three-day weekends call for quick getaways — and what better way to kickstart summer than by enjoying a short yet sweet trip? Aside from the typical backyard barbecue, plan a last-minute Memorial Day weekend escape to one of the five destinations below.
Los Olivos, California
Looking for a new wine-centered destination other than Napa? Nestled right below Santa Barbara, Los Olivos offers amazing wineries, adorable boutiques, and artisanal eats. For any luxury travelers, we recommend staying at the Fess Parker Inn. Need a meal to complement all the wine? Los Olivos Wine Merchant is a trendy spot in town where you can grab a bite to eat with your glass of cab.
Laguna Beach, California
Lauren Conrad isn’t the only one taking advantage of this gorgeous spot for the three-day weekend. This quaint and artsy beach location is just south of Los Angeles and completely removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Relax at The Ranch at Laguna Beach for a zen stay, soak up the sun by the pool, and gaze at the surrounding mountains. When you get a little hungry, grab some grub at the Deck Laguna Beach for iconic views and Instagram-worthy shots.
Scottsdale, Arizona
If you prefer the desert over the beach, we have the city for you. Scottsdale is located in Arizona and offers super trendy restaurants, shopping, and glam spas. We recommend the W Scottsdale to soak up the sun and get some quality rest and relaxation. Once you build up an appetite, head on over to Old Town Scottsdale and dine at Diego Pops for a fun night of bites and booze.
Nashville, Tennessee
Channel your inner Daisy Duke and head down south to listen to some country music, chow down on hot chicken, and meet a cowboy or two. Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and listen to live music and visit a few bars on the strip. Need a place to stay? We love the Hutton Hotel, located just steps away from the Music Row. After you work up an appetite, enjoy a true southern meal at Arnold’s Country Kitchen to refuel.
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Take a ferry over to the picture-perfect town of Nantucket. This tiny island is located off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The town offers high-end shopping, dune-backed beaches, and loads of Pinterest-worthy homes. Aside from gawking at the beauty this town has to offer, enjoy a lobster roll and soak up the sun on the Atlantic Ocean. As for accommodations, check into The Nantucket Hotel and utilize their charming amenities. Oh, and make a reservation at the Proprietor’s Bar & Table for a true Nantucket dining experience.
