Signature Experiences
Delivering exceptional experiences you won’t soon forget is the common element across our portfolio of resorts. We believe the key ingredient of an unforgettable vacation is seeing the place through the eyes of a local.
Enchantment
Red Rock Photography
From Boynton Canyon to the iconic Kachina Woman rock formation, guests are guided to several stunning vistas. Under the guidance of an expert photographer, they learn techniques to take better landscape and nature photos.
Mountain Bike Night Ride
With a Trail House adventure guide, bikers will experience Sedona’s single-track under the starry night sky for an unforgettable night ride. As elevation is gained, they have an opportunity to observe the Milky Way above, catch a glimpse of a shooting star or perhaps ride by the light of the full moon.
The Cove Eleuthera
Private Boat Excursion
Enjoy a full day of fun on the crystal-clear Bahamian waters with this immersive boat tour. Dive in and snorkel for a first-hand experience of the indigenous coral reefs encompassing Eleuthera, take a dip with the world-famous pigs on Pig Island or relax with a private picnic on the pristine beaches of a secluded Sand Bar.
Explore Eleuthera
Just one mile wide and 100 miles long, Eleuthera is a tranquil Bahamian island with an abundance of natural wonders. On this tour, guests uncover the hidden gems, such as the Sapphire Blue Hole, Queen’s Bath, Preacher’s Cave and the Glass Window Bridge, which showcases the contrast between the navy-blue water of the Atlantic with the brilliant turquoise waters of the Bight of Eleuthera.
Mii amo
Spirit of the Full Moon
The full moon is a meaningful time to clear your emotional and spiritual slate by releasing what no longer serves you. At Mii amo, this ceremony begins with the act of writing down what you want to let go of and burning it, providing a metaphorical and visceral release. A full body massage using sage oil that has been infused with the light of the full moon supports you in your journey. This exclusive experience is only offered on the two days around the Full Moon.
Energy Clearing
In Energy Clearing, guests are guided to let go of what no longer serves you. Whether it be guilt, emotional tension, grief, grudges, or old beliefs, the Mii amo practitioner invites the guest to say what they long for in life. Through conversation, ritual, clearing of the auric field and energy clearing bodywork, the therapist helps release the old and invite the new.
The Tides Inn
Chesapeake Gold
Guided by the Tides Inn ecologist, Chesapeake Gold teaches guests why oysters are the keystone species of the Chesapeake Bay. Boarding a traditional watermen’s boat, they visit an oyster farm, pull up oyster cages, investigate and sort the catch. Upon returning to the shore, the ecologist demonstrates how to “grade” oysters and then on the beach, grills oysters for everyone’s enjoyment.
Urbanna Whiskey Run
Join us for a unique boat excursion to historic Urbanna, a charming waterfront town founded in 1680. During this three to six-hour outing, you can visit local shops, explore historic sites and enjoy the “Museum in the Street” tour, all under the guidance of one of our experienced captains. The trip is tailored to your preferences, and you’ll have the option to stay in the area to dine or enjoy a cocktail.
Twin Farms
Pasta Making
At the newly renovated Twiggs restaurant, guests receive a hands-on lesson in making fresh pasta. In the kitchen, the culinary team teaches how to mix and roll the dough, cut the shapes and cook. Paired with wine from the sommelier, the class culminates in the best part – eating the pasta.
Picnics
Sandwiches at the summit or petits fours by the pond? Canapés under a canopy of trees? Picnics take on a whole new level at Twin Farms, as the resort delivers a moveable feast just before guests arrive. In cooler months, they can choose from four sites, including the cozy Lift Shack, and in warmer months, 11 sites are available – from waterfront to mountaintop.
