STAPLEFORD - England
The estate life is yours at Stapleford, a stately manor surrounded by verdant parkland, a glistening lake and rolling hillsides. Guestrooms have been individually decorated (we love the Crabtree & Evelyn bedroom), where you’ll feel as if you’re in an elegant private residence. Fill your days with treatments at the full-service spa and, of course, ample golf. The River Eye, meandering throughout the course, offers a fun challenge, as do various ponds and streams.

MOUNT JULIET CONRAD - Ireland
Combine golf and romance at this beautiful Georgian estate near the Nore River. There’s golf galore on the challenging Jack Nicklaus par 72 course and on a professional putting green with miniature sand traps. Then, grab your love and stroll the manicured grounds, ride horseback through the woods or go trout or salmon fishing with a knowledgeable guide. Be sure to make time to indulge in the Flotation Therapy treatment at the lovely spa.

THE LODGE AT TORREY PINES - California
The Lodge at Torrey Pines, a handsome Craftsman-style resort on the California coast, keeps good neighbors: The 18th hole of the renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course, a famous nature preserve and a forest of rare pines (and eight miles of trails to discover). Golf is definitely on the to-do list, but take time for The Spa at Torrey Pines (perhaps a yoga class overlooking the fairway?). La Jolla is nearby, offering boutique shopping and the La Jolla Playhouse.
