Spring in Napa Valley is an intoxicating mix of rolling green vineyards, golden mustard flowers, and a sweet freshness in the air that makes wine country come alive. Stanly Ranch, an Auberge Resorts Collection property, is a modern yet deeply connected retreat with an intimate take on Napa’s renowned luxury. Set on a 700-acre private ranch surrounded by vineyards, Stanly Ranch captures the essence of wine country without the crowds. Wake up to mist-covered vines from your private bungalow-style cottage, which features floor-to-ceiling windows, an outdoor fire pit, and a private terrace overlooking the valley.
Spring marks the beginning of the bottling season and exclusive barrel tastings, making way for sample vintage wine tastings before they are officially released. At Stanley’s, your days can be spent cycling through blooming vineyards, indulging in private tastings at nearby boutique wineries, or taking a hot air balloon ride over the valley. The resort’s Spring Foraging Experience teaches you to gather wild herbs and seasonal produce alongside the chef, culminating in a farm-to-table dining experience.
The Halehouse Spa, a true standout, features open-air soaking pools inspired by ancient wellness rituals, offering the perfect way to unwind. This is a true luxury spring resort experience in Napa, an immersive, nature-driven escape where wine, wellness, and the season’s beauty come together effortlessly.
Few spring travel experiences rival the breathtaking beauty of Kyoto’s cherry blossoms. When sakura season peaks in March and April, the city transforms into a fairytale setting where petals drift through the air like snowflakes. The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto sits at the heart of this seasonal spectacle, offering a serene riverside retreat steps from some of the city’s most iconic cherry blossom spots.
One of the most sought-after luxury spring resorts around the world, it represents Kyoto’s rich history and reflects its modern elegance. Its design takes inspiration from traditional ryokans, featuring tatami-mat floors, shoji screens, and deep soaking tubs, all overlooking the peaceful Kamogawa River. From the hotel, you can easily reach Maruyama Park, the Philosopher’s Path, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where cherry blossoms frame ancient shrines in breathtaking hues of pink and white.
The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto’s private hanami experience is an exclusive riverside cherry blossom picnic with a gourmet bento box curated by the hotel’s Michelin-starred chef. Inside the resort, indulge in a sakura-infused tea ceremony, rejuvenate with cherry blossom aromatherapy at the spa, or enjoy seasonal kaiseki cuisine at Mizuki. A private nighttime boat ride along the illuminated cherry trees of Okazaki Canal can be arranged for couples to feel Kyoto’s most romantic season.
Spring in Provence is all about colors and fragrances, where rolling lavender fields, blooming almond trees, and sun-kissed vineyards make the region feel straight out of a painting. Tucked into the heart of Les Baux-de-Provence, Domaine de Manville offers an ultra-luxurious countryside retreat that embodies the romance and charm of southern France. Once a working farm, the estate has been transformed into a five-star hideaway. This property boasts spacious suites, private villas, and a lush estate covered in olive groves and cypress trees. Each room is bathed in natural light, with exquisite French linens, private terraces, and views of the surrounding countryside.
Spring is when Provence’s legendary farmers’ markets are at their best, and guests at Domaine de Manville can experience them firsthand with the hotel’s exclusive market-to-table culinary tours. After gathering fresh seasonal ingredients like white asparagus, strawberries, and fragrant herbs, return for a private cooking lesson with the hotel’s Michelin-starred chef.
The hotel’s spa is inspired by nature, featuring lavender-scented treatments, thermal baths, and open-air massages under the Provençal sun. Spring in Europe calls for being in the sun, so explore the Alpilles mountains on horseback, cycle through the vineyards, or take a private hot air balloon ride at sunrise. As the day winds down, a glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape on the hotel’s terrace, surrounded by the soft glow of golden-hour light, is the epitome of spring luxury.
For those searching for the best spring retreats in Europe, Domaine de Manville is the ultimate Provençal escape where nature, luxury, and French elegance converge.
Tuscany in spring is a painter’s dream, a land of undulating hills dotted with cypress trees, medieval villages, and golden fields waking up after winter’s slumber. Borgo Santo Pietro, a 13th-century estate turned luxury hideaway, is where time slows down, inviting you to savor the beauty of the Italian countryside at its finest.
The resort is a masterpiece of rustic elegance amidst 300 acres of vineyards, forests, and fragrant gardens. Spring brings fresh wildflowers, warm days, and cool evenings perfect for al fresco dining under vine-covered pergolas. Join truffle-hunting excursions or an expert cheesemaker for a lesson in pecorino production, or explore the region’s famed wine estates. The resort’s farm-to-table philosophy is evident in every detail, from honey harvested on-site to heirloom tomatoes grown in the organic gardens.
One of the most unique offerings at Borgo Santo Pietro is the floral-inspired spa, where treatments incorporate botanicals from the estate’s gardens. Lavender-scented massages, rosemary-infused facials, and Tuscan olive oil body wrap create an indulgent sensory experience. Afternoons can be spent cycling through medieval villages, admiring fields of blooming poppies, or simply basking in the sun by the infinity pool with a spritz in hand. Tuscany in the spring is a feast for the senses, and at Borgo Santo Pietro, every moment is a celebration of nature’s renewal.
For those craving warmth and endless ocean views, Shangri-La’s Le Touessrok in Mauritius is an idyllic choice among luxury hotels for spring.

Turquoise waters, powdery beaches, and lush gardens create the ultimate setting for romance and relaxation.
Unlike summer’s high season, spring in Mauritius offers quiet beaches and a more exclusive atmosphere. Days can be spent exploring Île aux Cerfs, the resort’s private island, where you get hooked to private picnics, coral reef snorkels, or some fascinating moments teeing off at the world-famous championship golf course. At the spa, Mauritian sugar scrubs and hibiscus-infused treatments capture the essence of the island, while the infinity pools provide a picture-perfect spot to soak in the golden sunset.
Dining is a highlight at Le Touessrok, with beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and island-inspired dishes. A candlelit dinner on the sand, accompanied by the gentle sound of waves and the scent of tropical blooms, makes for an unforgettable evening.
