Resorts For Nature Lovers

Nature lovers

Everybody looks forward to their vacations, a time to really get away from the stress of day-to-day life. Today, more and more people are looking for options that get away from the fast-paced modern life, and nature vacations are growing in popularity as a result. For nature lovers, and anyone just wanting a break from the tech-dominated world we live in, there are a number of options to choose from, with different resorts all over the country that allow us to see the natural beauty we often take for granted.

There are several types of resort for nature lovers, and which one suits you really depends on what you want for your vacation, and your budget. The good news is that with such a wide choice of approaches, your nature vacations can be different every time, and fit your needs perfectly, whatever they may be.


Health Focused

While many of us believe that simply getting out amongst nature is healthy in itself, these resorts take the health aspect further. Some are built around hot springs that bring the natural restorative properties of nutrient-rich waters to give your health a boost, while other spa resorts focus on the scientific use of natural substances to provide beneficial treatments that relax, calm and rejuvenate. These are great for those who simply want a truly relaxing experience, and who appreciate being pampered while making the most of the abilities of natural products to reinvigorate and heal our bodies. 

Dunton Hot Springs

Built upon a former ghost town, this Colorado resort features log cabins that are luxuriously equipped, but it is the hot springs themselves that make this such a standout destination.

It’s intensely relaxing, and makes you feel great!


Traditional Nature Resorts

A log cabin down by the lake, a beautiful hotel sat in the shadows of a tree covered mountain range or a timeshare rental on the edge of a national park. All of these are great examples of true nature vacations, positioned to give you the opportunity to go out every day and explore the wonders that the natural world has to offer. With such a variety of different options available, there is something for every budget, and whether it is getting out there on your own or following guided tours, you get hands-on with the beauty of nature every day.Perfect for any nature lovers, you can choose your style, go it alone or follow a group, it’s all down to you. Location matters of course, even from state to state here in the U.S. the natural world changes dramatically, but that experience, of wonder and amazement at what you find when you leave our man-made world behind to see what nature has to offer, that is always the same.

If you like your nature with a side of grand hotel, there are none grander than this. It may be only 90 miles north of New York City, but it is a whole different world.

Rustic Resorts

Melding the idea of nature vacations and eco-friendly life, these resorts are perhaps the route to experience nature in its purest form. Camping by a Hawaii beach or a grass and soil hut in the forest, these rustic resorts use sustainable accommodations in a variety of ways, to place you right in nature itself from the start. For some nature lovers, there may be a little too much nature, and not enough vacation, although some do maintain a few luxury touches for those that enjoy the finer things.As an experience, these rustic resorts aim to immerse you in the natural world in a way that most others cannot do. Whether that is your idea of a nature vacation or not is going to be a personal thing, but if you long to get back to basics, then perhaps the rustic resort is for you.

Ultima Thule Lodge

Ultima Thule Lodge

Set in the wilderness of Alaska, it is only reachable by airplane, and with its rustic cabins set in the middle of the 13-million acres of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, this is as far from civilization as most of us are likely to get.  There’s hiking, fishing, kayaking and other activities on offer, but the main attraction is to literally ‘get away from it all’. 

Lova Lava Land

Lova Lava Land

Not the traditional idea of a Hawaii vacation by any means, but this combination of an old lava field and off-grid, green accommodation is inspiring. Whether you choose a beautiful yurt or a renovated Volkswagen Camper, you get to enjoy a truly off-grid experience and take a step back from modern life for a few days.


Adventure Resorts

If you say you like nature vacations to many people, they will imagine a relaxing time, wandering through an ancient forest or admiring the scenery at a national park, and for many it is. But for some, nature vacations mean adventure, and there are resorts that deliver adventure by the truckload.Whether it's kayaking on whitewater, horseback riding, flying down zip lines, or overnight hikes through the wilderness, if you have a taste for something more exciting, they can deliver it all, and then some.

A true all year-round adventure in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico.
