Unusual Places to Vacation

Next time you are planning a vacation, try thinking outside the box. Whether looking at domestic or international travel, consider smaller towns or venues for a unique vacation experience. Go explore a small town in the shadows of the Himalayas. Relax in the wilderness of Arkansas. Bask in the sun in south Arizona. Choosing a lesser-known vacation destination can be less expensive and easier to book.
  1. The Westward Look Resort

    • The Westward Look Resort is located in Tucson, Arizona, about three hours south of the capital city of Phoenix. Tucson often gets overlooked as a vacation spot, because during the summer temperatures can reach up to the high 110s. But the Westward Resort is full of historic charm and modern luxury, and can be an oasis you have all to yourself. Built in the early 1900s, it became Tucson's first luxury resort. Situated on 80 acres, this resort sits in the shadow of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Visitors can explore the grounds by hiking, biking or horseback riding. The Westward also offers three on-site restaurants and a spa.
