When you’re used to planning epic family adventures, Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to flip the script and give Dad a little extra pampering. Whether he’s a globe-trotting foodie, an adventure-seeker, or simply in need of serious R&R, this Father’s Day weekend is your chance to create lasting memories in some of the most luxurious, dad-approved destinations across the U.S.

1. A Wine Country Escape in Napa Valley, California

For the dad who appreciates a bold cabernet and Michelin-worthy cuisine, Napa delivers in every sense. It's a favorite in our house. Book a suite at Auberge du Soleil or Stanly Ranch for panoramic vineyard views, private spa treatments, and personalized wine tastings. Add a hot air balloon ride over the valley at sunrise, and you’ve just redefined “bucket list.”

2. Adventure & Elegance in Jackson Hole, Wyoming

If your dad is happiest in hiking boots or on a fly fishing expedition- but still loves a five-star finish- Jackson Hole is pure magic. Stay at the Amangani or Caldera House, where rustic luxury meets mountain serenity. Days can be spent whitewater rafting or exploring Grand Teton National Park; nights can be spent fireside with a whiskey in hand.

3. Coastal Cool in Montauk, New York

For East Coast dads craving ocean breezes and upscale charm, Montauk blends surf culture with chic sophistication. Book a beachfront bungalow at Gurney’s Montauk and treat him to a deep-tissue massage, clambake dinner, and bonfire under the stars. Add in a morning paddleboard session or a sunset cruise for that perfect mix of active and indulgent.

4. Golf & Gourmet in Scottsdale, Arizona

This desert oasis is tailor-made for golf lovers. Just be sure they love and appreciate the heat! Stay at the Four Seasons Scottsdale or The Phoenician and tee off at some of the top-rated courses in the country. Off the green, indulge in award-winning steakhouses, poolside cocktails, and sunset spa experiences with Sonoran Desert views.

5. Urban Luxury in Chicago, Illinois

Not every dad wants to escape the city. For culture-lovers and foodies alike, Chicago offers architecture boat tours, jazz clubs, and deep-dish pizza alongside world-class art and luxury hotels. Some of the best meals we've enjoyed were in Chicago- it's tough to go wrong with the food scene. The Peninsula or the Langham are ideal for elevated stays, and don’t forget to book a reservation at Alinea if you're going all out.

6. Ranch-Style Relaxation in Hill Country, Texas

Surprise him with a stylish escape to Texas Hill Country, where luxury ranch resorts like Miraval Austin or JL Bar Ranch blend cowboy vibes with refined comfort. Think horseback riding, whiskey tastings, and chef-driven BBQ- all wrapped up in sweeping countryside views.

7. Island Time in Kauai, Hawaii

If paradise is calling, Kauai is a dream for outdoorsy dads who also appreciate the finer things. Stay at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay or Ko'a Kea for beachfront bliss, hiking through rainforests, and sunset catamaran sails along the Nā Pali Coast.

8. Secluded Spa Weekend in Sedona, Arizona

Spiritual, scenic, and soul-soothing- Sedona is the ultimate spot for a dad who’s ready to recharge. Red rock views meet luxury spa experiences at L’Auberge de Sedona or Enchantment Resort. Add a sound bath or stargazing tour to make it unforgettable.

9. Yachting in Newport, Rhode Island

For maritime-minded fathers, Newport is a Father’s Day fantasy. Charter a sailboat, stroll the Cliff Walk, and book a stay at The Chanler or Castle Hill Inn. It’s old-world elegance with a sea breeze.

10. Lakefront Luxe in Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada

Lake Tahoe is on our list almost every year. Whether he loves to hike, golf, or relax by the water, Tahoe delivers year-round charm. Check into the Edgewood Tahoe Resort or The Ritz-Carlton for lakefront views, crisp mountain air, and a Father’s Day brunch with a view.

Whatever your Father's Day vibe- what matters most is carving out intentional time to celebrate the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and father figures who lift us up. A weekend escape is the perfect way to say: you matter, and we see all that you do.
