When you peek into the future and dream about your next trip, do you imagine yourself donning a winter jacket and sipping a steaming cup of cocoa, surrounded by snow-capped mountains? Or do you see yourself staring off into the horizon at the ocean, basking in the sun to the sound of waves while sipping a fruity cocktail? Whatever your preference, Omni has you covered for the winter getaway of your dreams. Struggling to decide between snow or sun? We’ll share the pros of each to help your decision.
Â
What’s A Winter Getaway Without Snow?
If you like to get your thrills flying down a mountain, or simply want to get away from it all and take in the spectacular views of rural New England in winter, then pack your bags and head north to experience the snow at Omni Mount Washington Resort.
Â
Snowy Activities
The prime window for the freshest powder is early November through mid-April. New Hampshire’s largest ski area, Bretton Woods, offers 1,500 feet of vertical height across 98 trails, and offers activities for kids and adults like alpine skiing, snowshoeing, snow tubing and more. And if you have never skied before or haven’t been on the slopes in a while, our ski instructors are ready to brush up on your skills and help you feel more comfortable before you tackle the double black diamond run.
Â
Après-Ski, If You Please
New and upgraded dining options at Omni Mount Washington Resort offer a casual, New England-inspired menu to help you fuel up before a busy day or a cozy abode to après-ski. Wake up to breakfast and plan your day in the renovated Main Dining Room with large picture windows overlooking the mountains. Additionally, at the end of New Hampshire’s only eight-person gondola you’ll find a brand-new mountaintop retreat, Rosebrook Lodge. Skiers and sightseers can enjoy a comforting cup of coffee in the coffee bar or an elegant dinner at the new bistro.
Â
The Picture-Perfect Winter Wonderland
Elaborately decorated hallways and an awe-inspiring Christmas tree fill the resort with the Christmas spirit during the holidays. A winter getaway to Omni Mount Washington Resort offers a picture-perfect, stress-free holiday with plenty of festive activities for kids and adults along with friendly associates to take care of all the cooking.
Â
Heat Up Your Winter Getaway With Sun
On the other hand, if the cold weather gives you the winter blues, then throw tradition to the wind and seek the sun at Omni Amelia Island Resort. Plus, you won’t need to fret about snowstorms and ice. The roads are clear when you’re traveling in the south.
Â
More Sand To Spread Out On
Along with fewer crowds and big savings, the mild temperatures will melt away any holiday stress. Fewer beachgoers leave plenty of space to wiggle your toes in the sand. Also, exploring a beach town out of season usually offers low rates, special offers and restaurants that don’t require dinner reservations. The near-perfect weather is ideal for bike rentals, romantic walks on the beach or endless rounds of golf. Challenge yourself on 18-holes of well-maintained golf courses for a unique golf experience or enjoy the on-site nautical-themed miniature golf course for a family friendly alternative.
Â
Make A Splash
Instead of snow as far as the eye can see, you can enjoy ocean views and the soothing sound of crashing waves. At Omni Amelia Island Resort, you have access to 3.5 miles of private beaches right outside your door. Check out the saltwater marshes and sea life up close while enjoying water activities like fishing and kayaking. In the evenings, we’ll set up a private fire for your group for a unique beach experience.Â
Â
Focus On Your Wellbeing
The lack of vitamin D and harsh winter weather can do a number on your skin. Ease dry, cracked skin with a little R&R in the spa. Start with rehydrating your skin in the steam room or with a dip in the hot tub to soothe sore muscles. Then pick a body or facial treatment to moisturize, cleanse, exfoliate and renew your skin.
Â
The Choice Is Yours
Whether you’re seeking snow or sun, a winter getaway is a great way to wrap up a long year. If you’re wanting to spend time outdoors, either embracing the chilly temperatures or relaxing on a beach, don’t miss your chance to get away before the new year.
