9 Father's Day Getaway Ideas For Every Kind of Dad

The Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa in Colorado makes a great Father's Day getaway — especially if you can splurge for the "Celebrate Dad" package, which includes two nights in a Casita, a private dining experience for two at the award-winning Entrada Restaurant, and $300 per person to be redeemed as a credit towards activities like guided hiking, mountain biking, or massages.

If you really want to go for it, The Grand Velas Los Cabos is the way to go. This AAA Five Diamond resort in Mexico has upscale food, a private butler-concierge service for every suite, professional nannies (if you must bring the kids), and a staff/guest ratio of three to one. Oh, and of course, dramatic ocean views. Yes, please.

If dad is a friend of 4/20, a stay at a Bud & Breakfast makes for an affordable and fun option. These cannabis-friendly lodgings range from the very cost-effective to the upscale, and in states where it's legal, many provide their guests with free cannabis. Let dad chill and truly unwind this Father's Day, grown-up-time-style.

This St. Lucia health and wellness resort offers a 30,000 square-foot wellness center, scuba school, tennis and golf academies, archery, fencing, Tai-Chi, yoga in a tree house, and an array of water sports. If dad loves extreme sports, treat him to the Adventure Program at BodyHoliday, which comes complete with activities like cave diving, extreme mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and abseiling. With the Adventure Program, not only does dad receive a daily inclusive spa treatment and access to a plethora of fitness offerings, but he can also opt to add on rappelling down waterfall cliffs and abseiling down 120 foot gorges. If that doesn't make him feel like a kid again, nothing will.

If the dad in question lives near New York City, the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City makes for a fun weekend, The Hangover-style. With more than 180 table games and 3,000 slot machines, you can treat dad to a night in one of Borgata's award-winning suites and dinner at one of the hotel's celebrity-chef restaurants. The rest is up to how adventurous he's feeling.

Perfect for the nature-loving dad, Kimpton Taconic is located in Manchester, Vermont, in the heart of the Green and Taconic Mountains. He can go swimming in secret waterfalls, kayaking, tubing down the Battenkill River, and hiking on Equinox Mountain. You can enjoy some seclusion in one of the hotel's three standalone cottages, and enjoy in-room spa treatments and dinners at the the hotel's on-site restaurant.

With its 35-mile stretch of white sand beaches, St. Petersburg/Clearwater is perfect for the dad who loves the ocean. With speed boating, JetLev, stand-up paddle boarding (at night with glow-in-the-dark boards, no less), windsurfing, kiteboarding, Sky Surfing, and more, the area is a magnet for water-sport enthusiasts. For those dads looking to indulge in some liquid sunshine, the St. Pete/Clearwater Craft Beer Trail also boasts over 30 breweries and is an hour's drive from end to end.

If dad's always wanted to see San Francisco (or lives nearby and could just use a staycation), book him a stay at the Courtyard by Marriott San Francisco, where he'll be in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. If he's over 62, you'll save at least 15 percent on his room (this goes for most Courtyard Marriotts). Use the money you save to book him a massage or dinner at one of the many amazing spots the city has to offer.

If dad can't get enough baseball, a stay at Hotel Commonwealth's Fenway Park Suite makes a great gift. Located right near Fenway Park in Boston, the suite features original ballpark seats on its walk-out terrace (perfect for a cold beer), a baseball mitt to catch fly balls, plus memorabilia like signed baseballs, vintage cards, and other collectibles. The hotel also offers a slew of over-the-top, exclusive baseball experiences that include a VIP pre-game tour, personal messages on the scoreboard, premier front row game tickets, and more.
