Resort pool, hot springs pools, farm, yoga, spa services in creekside cabanas, and Arizona's first Via Ferrata cable climbing course are among the on-site amenities.

Cons: Despite the overwhelming majority of positive reviews, a few detractors pointed out inconsistent service compared to what they expected at the price point.

As a holistic wellness retreat, Castle Hot Springs was established in 1896 and is now the state's first luxury resort. The resort looks like an oasis in the Sonoran Desert when set against the silhouette of the Bradshaw Mountains, which are located 50 miles outside of Phoenix.

Best for: Couples

On-site amenities: Multiple dining options including The Stonehouse in a 19th-century citrus packing house, salon, spa, 12,000-bottle wine cellar, pool, in-room spa services, 17 miles of hiking trails

Pros: Far from a luxurious but generic affair, this iconic and unique property is steeped in history and romance. It's ultra-private and intimate, with just 38 guest cottages.

Cons: The flip side of "historic" is that some details may seem dated and in need of a revamp.

The 500-acre San Ysidro Ranch is located in uber-chichi Montecito within the Santa Barbara region, with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands.

There are just 38 intimate cottages, each decorated with antiques, stone fireplaces, oak floors, and come with an expansive private deck, many with indoor-outdoor rain showers, sunken hot tubs, heated floors, and private gardens.

What's the best luxury hotel in the U.S. for families?

Many of the hotels on our list are great for families, but the Four Seasons Orlando stands out for its unbeatable Disney access: It is located inside the Walt Disney World Resort, has transportation to the theme parks, and has a Disney concierge on staff, in addition to having a five-acre water park with a lazy river on the premises.

3.Four Seasons Resort Lanai and Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort

Location: Lanai, Hawaii

Typical starting/peak prices: $1,700/$2,585

Best for: Families (Four Seasons Resort Lanai only), couples, business travelers, groups of friends, solo travelers (Sensei Lanai)

Beautiful pools, gardens, wellness options, a variety of activities (like archery and a shooting range), and food and beverage from renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa are among the on-site amenities.

Pros: Lanai is unmatched in terms of its natural beauty (not to mention its inherent social isolation). It's undoubtedly one of the most stunning natural settings in the country. Additionally, the accommodations are supremely luxurious with unmatched wellness offerings, particularly at Sensei where it is the focus. The service is also faultless. With Sensei Lanai, all flights on Lanai Air out of Honolulu are complimentary.

Cons: Children are not allowed at Sensei Lanai, despite the fact that families are warmly welcomed at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai (there is, after all, a fantastic kids club). This will have benefits for some people and drawbacks for others.

Archery, private horseback rides, diving, and fishing expeditions on the resort's private fleet are just a few of the outdoor activities available at the remote 90,000-acre paradise on Lanai, which is close to the island of Maui. The beachfront Four Seasons Resort Lanai and its sister wellness resort, Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort, both offer opulent lodging options.

2. Amangiri

Location: Canyon Point, Utah

Typical starting/peak prices: $1,931/$3,500

Best for: Couples, families

Amangiri restaurant, 25,000-square-foot Aman Spa, national park tours, private air tours, and Camp Sakira are among the on-site amenities.

Positives: Amangiri is encircled by unmatched natural beauty and seclusion. The service and design are extraordinary. If you want to feel like a celebrity or are an adventurer or a nature lover, come here.

Cons: Considering the outrageous price point, guests expect flawless service; however, negative reviews point out instances where the delivery fell short of their expectations, such as when a guest was not referred to by name.

The Cave Peak Stairway, a new addition for 2021, is an installation that rises 400 feet above the ground for breathtaking views. Adventurers can climb the 120 steps that lead from the resort's existing Cave Peak Via Ferrata Trail for an unforgettable view (and photos) from the top. The steps are a dramatically vertical ascent with only open air below.

Camp Sakira is a collection of ten canvas-topped pavilions positioned around a communal lounge just a short walk or drive from Amangiri. Every one has a personal plunge pool.

1. Little Palm Island Resort & Spa

Location: Little Torch Key, Florida

Typical starting/peak prices: $2,290/$2,490

Best for: Couples

On-site amenities: The Dining Room indoor-outdoor restaurant, SpaTerre, fitness center, pool

Advantages: This is the only domestic private island resort, and it has a very romantic, secluded atmosphere.

Cons: Indulgences like yacht transfers are included in the 12.5 percent resort fee that is added to that expensive nightly room rate.

The only private island resort in the United States is Little Palm Island Resort & Spa. The 4.5-acre, adults-only Little Palm Island, which is off the Florida Keys coast, can only be reached by boat or seaplane, giving it a completely remote and isolated feel.

At no time are there more than 60 visitors on the island at once, though a variety of birds, Key deer, and other wild animals keep us company.

Luxurious lodgings are located in thatched-roof bungalows along pathways that have a sense of seclusion and lead to chaise lounges and swinging hammocks. Beginning at 550 square feet, bungalows feature vaulted ceilings, views of the ocean, and outdoor showers or tubs.

SpaTerre provides services that incorporate age-old spa customs like Thai and Balinese body rituals and Balinese techniques. Hobie Cats, kayaking, and paddleboarding are examples of outdoor pursuits.
