Luxury Reading Retreats

Three days of wine country magic: gorgeous reading spots, stunning landscapes, and the kind of slow, unhurried afternoons you've been dreaming about. Nestled among rolling vineyards at the southern gateway to Napa Valley, Carneros Resort and Spa is the kind of place that makes you want to do nothing, and everything, all at once. Cottage-style accommodations, a stunning pool, farm-to-table dining, and sweeping views of the valley set the scene for a retreat unlike any other.
We will explore towns like St. Helena and Napa. Taste wines from all over the valley. And enjoy 3 delicious dinners together where we can share our love of reading and travel.

Nantucket has always felt like a place that was made for reading; the salt air, the shingled cottages, the slower pace of island life. We've bought out an entire boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Nantucket, which means for one long weekend, the whole place is ours. If you've been dreaming of a trip where the only thing on your agenda is great books, great meals, and even better company, this is it. We'll explore the island by bike, gather around a bonfire on the beach, visit a local bookstore, and spend the rest of our time exactly as we should: reading, connecting, and soaking it all in. Come ready to slow down, and plan to leave with sandy shoes, a full heart, and a stack of new books you can't wait to get home to.

Imagine two days in the Arizona sunshine — book in hand, good conversation all around you, and not a single obligation that isn't completely delightful.
This November, Luxury Reading Retreats is heading to Scottsdale for a long weekend designed for women who love to read, travel, and gather well. We'll be based at the iconic Mountain Shadows Resort, nestled at the foot of Camelback Mountain, where mid-century style meets modern luxury.
Our group of 12 will come together for curated meals, meaningful bookish conversation, and the kind of unhurried connection that's hard to find in everyday life. Between our shared moments, the weekend is yours to savor — lounge by the pool, book a treatment at the spa, get out on the golf course, or lace up your shoes and hit one of Scottsdale's stunning desert hiking trails. There's no wrong way to spend an afternoon here.
