There’s something timelessly romantic about the open road — the leisurely pace, the thrill of the unknown and the freedom to chart your own course. From the desert reds of Arizona to the lush coastline of Maui, here are five indulgent, expertly curated packages that pair bespoke experiences with the ultimate in scenic exploration.
The Road Trip, Reimagined
Iconic luxury meets seaside charm with a stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island that includes a Mercedes-Benz at your disposal for four hours each day, breakfast for two at Coast and a Beach Road Trip Driving Guide that promises those inimitable wind-in-your-hair moments. It’s a polished take on the classic beach getaway, made even more indulgent by club- or suite-level accommodations and ocean views that never get old.
The Maui in Motion package at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua is an island dream in high definition. Guests receive $200 toward their choice of luxury vehicle and access to curated routes that trace the legendary road to Hana and delve into the island’s remote upcountry region. Between adventures, enjoy a $500 spa credit, gourmet picnic basket and exclusive gifts. With club lounge access and a travel journal included, this package ensures memories worth writing down.
Choose between relaxed grandeur and high-octane adventure on your tour of the Pacific Northwest's natural wonders. Opt for the Range Rover Sport or Porsche Macan for refined cruising, or dial up the adrenaline with a Porsche 911 or Corvette C8, and enjoy a two-night stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Portland, complete with daily breakfast for two. Each bespoke driving itinerary is crafted by local experts, leading guests through winding vineyard roads, dramatic coastal cliffs and insider stops ranging from gourmet eateries to secret waterfalls.
Set your sights on the towering saguaros of Phoenix and the red rock majesty of Sedona with the Arizona Road Trip package. Anchored by a two-night stay in a refined one-bedroom suite at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, guests enjoy the rugged elegance of a Range Rover rental — perfect for navigating desert highways and mountain switchbacks in style. Begin each day with breakfast for two at Tia Carmen, where bold Southwestern flavors meet elevated presentation. Your day trip itinerary from Phoenix to Sedona promises awe-inspiring views, vortex hikes and art galleries tucked into adobe enclaves — a true taste of the soul of the Sonoran Desert.
At The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Nashville, the road trip becomes an ode to Italian performance and Southern charm. This two-night stay includes two days behind the wheel of your dream Italian machine — think Ferrari 488 or Lamborghini Huracán EVO — with a curated itinerary along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The journey is a mix of scenic grandeur and culture, with stops in the storybook towns of Franklin and Leipers Fork. Back at the hotel, guests are welcomed with burrata and Sicilian tapenade, and greeted each morning with a gourmet breakfast. This is Americana with a dash of la dolce vita.
