A TROPICAL EXCLUSIVE PARADISE OFFERING UNLIMITED ACTIVITIES

Once a sleepy fishing village, Cabo San Lucas is now an elite resort destination and home to Casa Estrellas, your Solstice retreat. Commonly known as Cabo, this year-round playground stands at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, and where dramatic rock formations plunge into warm azure waters framing a coastline of golden sand. Blessed with what many describe as the perfect climate, this tropical paradise is the ideal location for family vacations or romantic getaways – offering sunny beaches, natural beauty, restaurants, nightlife and unlimited recreational activities. 

Imagine deep-sea fishing for sailfish, tuna or wahoo on a custom-fitted state-of-the-art yacht. Underwater adventures include dives to explore shipwrecks, caves and the only live coral reef in Western North America. Swimming with Bottlenose dolphins is a hit for families. Or get up close and personal with whales in their natural habitat on a whale watching excursion. Kayaking along the Sea of Cortez coastline to explore the many coves and beaches that might otherwise be inaccessible is worth investigating as well. Or enjoy the thrill of a wave runner or private surfing lessons with a local surf professional. 

On shore, tee off at one of the many championship golf courses that dot the coastline. Enjoy the vistas and challenges of hiking in the beautiful Baja Sur area or riding horses into the hills, on the beaches, or in the desert. Immerse yourself in the culture and arts by visiting a variety of unique art galleries, colourful shops, and outstanding restaurants. Indulge in luxurious spa services, or enjoy a private chef-prepared dinner in the comfort of your Solstice home. Complete any day of amazing activities in Cabo with a private sunset cruise around Land’s End to Lovers Beach for stunning views of Los Arcos, Baja’s famous landmark.

THE ULTIMATE VACATION DESTINATION FOR LOVERS OF FOOD, WINE & GOOD LIVING

There’s something magical about the Napa Valley. Maybe it’s the graphic quality that acres and acres of vineyards lend to the valley floor? Or maybe it’s the light and the way it moves and changes, highlighting each season? Or could it be the way the surrounding mountains isolate and protect the valley from the outside world? Whatever the reason, California’s Napa Valley is the ultimate vacation destination for lovers of food, wine and good living.

Just 35 miles long, the Napa Valley is home to world-class wineries, galleries, antique shops, boutiques, spas, gourmet markets and famous restaurants, many located along CA Highway 29. This picturesque stretch of road starts at the mouth of the Napa River, continues north through the town of Napa, the epicurean epicenter of Yountville, the chic and historic St. Helena, and the relaxing hot springs of Calistoga.

Your Solstice home, Indian Gap, is situated in the center of it all and there to facilitate a delicious, relaxing and memorable visit. Wine in the Napa Valley is a lifestyle and meant to be experienced, shared and loved. Solstice members can enjoy this lifestyle firsthand with private tours of area wineries, in-the-vineyard wine tasting with a celebrated winemaker or a special insider’s dinner that focuses on food and wine pairings. Beyond the world of wine, experience California’s regional cuisine with hands-on cooking classes, participate in an olive oil tasting, enjoy natural mineral waters and mud baths at a spa, or fill a picnic basket with local delicacies and take a ride to discover a favorite new winery. Theatre and jazz can be enjoyed at the Napa Valley Opera House. Outdoor activities include golf, hiking, biking, or hot-air balloon and helicopter rides over the valley. Or end the perfect day with a sunset dinner overlooking the vineyards. The Napa Valley is beautiful any time of year, but is most memorable in September and October during harvest when the wineries are in full production.

Discovering the City of Light and making it your own has always been a compelling reason to come to Paris. The city’s right bank is defined by grand boulevards such as the Champs-Élysées, luxury flagship stores such as Hermès and Louis Vuitton, and notable destinations like the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens and the Arc de Triomphe.

Fill your days with visits to classic sights such as Sacré-Cœur or the more futuristic Cité de la Musique or venture to the Marché aux puces, the renowned Paris flea market.

Welcome the famous Parisian nights with a leisurely walk along the river or a sunset cruise on one of the Seine’s famous bateaux-mouches. Savor the cuisine of one of city’s rising culinary stars before heading off to the Opéra, or to the Quarter Latin to dance in the dawn at one of Paris’ famous nightclubs. Day or night, any time of year, Paris is full of experiences waiting to become your favorite memory.

IN THE WEST VILLAGE , THE MOST POPULAR NEIGHBORHOOD OF NEW YORK

As a leader in global commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education and entertainment, it’s no wonder New York City is home to over eight million people and one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the world. From world-famous Central Park and high fashion 5th Avenue shopping, to the bright lights of Broadway and renowned museums like the Metropolitan and MoMA, New York City has it all and more.

This variety and vitality can also be found in the West Village, the location of Ellington, your urban Solstice home in New York City. Rich with history and culture, the West Village still has its quaint mélange of narrow streets and cobblestone alleys from its early days as a small country village. With its low-rise townhouses and profusion of cafés, shops, small theaters, boutiques, galleries, bodegas and music clubs, The Village is reminiscent of such European cities as Paris and Budapest. Best known as home to the bohemian and hip, today it is a modern day mecca for writers, artists, intellectuals, actors, and students, as well as many professionals and families. 

The evenings bring a special energy to The Village with an abundance of bars and restaurants serving patrons their take on global food and drink. As night progresses, the liveliness continues with locals enjoying experimental theaters, music clubs, and late night coffee houses. Given all this history, color and cool, it’s easy to see why the West Village – lower Manhattan – is one of the city’s most popular and desirable neighborhoods in which to live and a perfect location for Solstice members to experience all that New York City has to offer.
