The Long Weekend

Where to Go This April

Spring is one of the best times of year to travel; summer crowds have not yet descended, and many destinations begin to bloom. In 2020, however, coronavirus is disrupting many of our vacation plans. Indagare is here to help, answering all of your questions.

And in April in particular, there are several places—close to home or short flights away—that we have on our radar. Here are the best places to go in April.

Miami

April is one of the driest months in Miami, with just four days of rain and temperatures averaging an appealing 80 degrees. The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach has just reopened following a multi-year renovation, while further up Miami Beach, Faena continues to be one of the most buzzed-about resorts. When you're not on the beach, Brickell's hot-as-ever restaurant scene beckons, while arts and design lovers will want to venture to Miami Design District.

Napa

Barely a two-hour flight from the East Coast, Bermuda is one of the easiest sub-tropical escapes for Americans. The British overseas territory has colorful colonial architecture, pink-sand beaches and—by mid- to late-April—swimmable seas. Indagare members love the sophisticated Rosewood Bermuda and decidedly contemporary The Loren, both on the northeast coast of the 21-square-mile island. Temperatures hover in the 70s throughout the month, and since it's still well before peak season, April is one of the most pleasant times to explore Bermuda's shopping, dining and outdoor activities.

The South: Tennessee Mountains and Austin

The ever-charming American South comes alive in the springtime. Austin is experiencing a veritable tourism boom, thanks to its undeniably Texan spirit, cosmopolitan style and, as of late, serious sophistication in the form of two recently opened (and much-anticipated) spa resorts, Lake Austin Spa and Miraval Austin. But the big news this year is the wilder sequel to Blackberry Farm, Blackberry Mountain, set amongst 5,200 acres of Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains. The property has 19 private stone cottages, traditional cabins or multi-bedroom homes and features a seemingly endless selection of outdoor adventure activities, spa treatments and farm-to-table dining experiences. Blackberry Mountain is a 20-minute drive from the Blackberry Farm sister property.

Cabo

This longtime weekend escape for Los Angelenos is famous for its fleet of luxury resorts, and the past year has welcomed several new stalwarts, including  Four Seasons Los Cabos—about an hour from the main tourist zone—and a Ritz-Carlton Reserve property. Also new: Resort at Pedregal is now a Waldorf property. Those looking to soak up some authentic Baja culture should check out the weekly Art Walk through the Gallery District (every Thursday, November to June), during which the neighborhood is closed off to cars and guests can enjoy complimentary gallery visits and talks with local artists.

St. Barth's

This French outpost in the Caribbean is a perennial favorite thanks to its gorgeous scenery, fabulous hotel offerings and—unsurprisingly—great food options. And the island has been busy rebuilding after Hurricane Irma in 2017. Eden Rock features a brand new spa, Hotel Christopher has added several four-bedroom villas, and Quarter has become a go-to spot for drinks and tapas.
