ARRIVA LS
The Montage Palmetto Bluff on the banks of the May River in South Carolina might be America's most exquisite place for front porch sitting and sweet tea sipping. Surrounded by centuries-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss, this plantationstyle lowcountry resort delivers southern charm and hospitality. A recent renovation included the addition of 150 rooms and suites, a 13,000 square-foot spa, pool, and fitness center, and several restaurants and retail spaces. As enticing as the screened-in porches of the River View Cottages are, you can also soak in all the 20,000 acres of coastal marshland through adventures like horseback riding, paddle-boarding, a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, fishing—or two of our personal favorites, clay shooting and naturalist-led alligator “hunts”(the reptiles are observed, not disturbed).
A LIL A F OR T BISH A NGA RH, J AIPUR, INDIA One of the most anticipated hotel openings of the year, Alila Fort Bishangarh is set to open its doors to guests on July 1. After a seven-year restoration and renovation project, the 230-year-old warrior fortress, located at Bishangarh Village in Jaipur, strikes a balance between historic preservation and modern luxuries. The original fort has been left intact, with the new hotel built above and outside. You can appreciate the 6.5-foot thick, battle tested walls, still bearing openings for firearms and the old turrets. You will also find large bathrooms with standalone tubs, wireless Internet, and comfortable daybeds in each of 59 gorgeous suites. Perched on a granite hill, the property boasts grand windows with endless views of Rajasthan’s stunning landscape. The former dungeons have been recast as airy Spa Alila. Carved out of granite rocks, the spa offers a variety of indulgent treatments and yoga classes to promote well-being. 18

SITTEE RIVER, BELIZE One of the first things you might notice on the Jungle River Tour with hamanasi resort (rooms from $333; excursions $65) in Hopkins, Belize, is the noise: Brilliantly colored birds ranging from parakeets to keelbilled toucans sing in the canopy of trees above, quite the soundtrack as you canoe down the coastal Sittee River. Also keep an eye out for bobbing saltwater crocs and green and orange iguanas. MOHICAN RIVER, OHIO Prefer a relaxed day on the water? Rent inner tubes from mohican adventures ($15) in central Ohio and float along the Mohican River. The lazy 7-mile route winds through dense forest and sun-filled ravines. Reserve an extra tube for your cooler full of food, or stop at one of the snack bars on the riverbank. When night falls, bed down in one of Mohican Adventures’ cabins (from $100 for up to seven people). MAY RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA History buffs will love exploring the May River in Bluffton, South Carolina, aboard the Grace, one of the few gas-powered pre–World War I yachts left in the U.S. The boat was recently restored—to the tune of $1 million—by montage palmetto bluff (rooms from $275; sails from $50) and now sports everything from a new engine to a fresh coat of paint. Enjoy a glass of champagne and hors d’oeuvres on a sunset tour, or sample wines on the Sommelier Sip and Sail. MISSISSIPPI RIVER While river cruising got its start in Europe, it’s making inroads in the U.S. on waterways like the Mighty Mississippi. On american may 2016 southwest 51
