Dallas’ jet-setting crowd doesn’t typically lean into uber-trendy vacation destinations, with second and third homes in Aspen and Cabo maintaining top spots for the chionophiles looking to escape the Texas heat.
But while the centrally located Dallasite may have a steady taste, an unsophisticated traveler she is not.
Vacation home sales in Whitefish and Vail have seen a rise among Dallas residents, according to Compass real estate professional Chad Schulin. And with JSX’s non-stop public charter service including destinations to Taos, Destin, Orange County, and Cabo, who wouldn’t welcome private boarding for a fraction of the cost of a private plane?
For the Dallas wanderer, unforgettable vacation destinations from coast to coast are just a direct flight away.
If playing 18 holes of morning golf or taking an afternoon dip in a massive round pool that looks out into the ocean is your style, Pelican Hill Resort offers a 36-hole championship golf course and stunning coliseum pool in Newport Beach, California.
The coastal SoCal backdrop is idyllic, with the casement windows in the private luxury villas opening to Atlantic Ocean sea breeze.
If relaxing in a remote location is more your cup of tea, sipping one alongside Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit in a peaceful treetop retreat at the One&Only Mandarina, is a bucket list item. Set amidst a coastal rainforest, the Shangri-La’s canopy of Higuera trees envelop the secluded spa area, with steam, sauna, a mud grotto, and cold plunge pools set among natural volcanic rock.
If a day of alpine skiing followed by apres-ski at Aspen’s Little Nell is more your speed, a co-ownership in a 5,000 square foot Aspen retreat could be your happy place.
