Luxury Reading Retreats

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.

This time we will enjoy the beauty of Middleburg in the summer, which means reading by the brand new Salamander Champions pool. If you've been dreaming of a weekend where the only thing on your agenda are great books, great meals, and even better company — this is it.

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.

This retreat is for the woman who wants a weekend that feels equal parts relaxing and just plain fun. Not “Mom,” not “boss,” not “wife”—just the version of herself who laughs easily, lounges by the pool, and gets lost in a good book. Inspired by the charm and chemistry of First Time Caller, this summer reading retreat at the Pendry Baltimore blends luxury with a breezy, feel-good vibe. With just 12 guests, you’ll enjoy chic waterfront accommodations, sun-soaked pool time, a refreshing spa moment, dedicated reading hours, and a private harbor cruise that feels straight out of a rom-com.

Perfect for solo travelers, sisters, friends, or book clubs, this retreat is your chance to step out of routine and into something joyful. It’s not just a weekend away—it’s a summer reset filled with harbor views, flirty bookish energy, and the kind of company that makes everything more fun.
