It’s not too late to plan for summer fun. Here are five ideas to consider.
1. The Boca Raton, Boca Raton, Fla.
Situated on 200 private tropical acres, the Boca Raton boasts five luxury hotels, including the resort’s original, circa-1926 Cloister hotel. With more than 100 years of history as its foundation, the South Florida resort is eager to welcome new generations into the Banyon Bunch Kids Club, a creative program curated by industry experts and designed to engage young guests through a range of activities that include salsa dancing lessons, youth yoga, origami and drawing kits inspired by the local environment. When a little ocean time is required, the kids will enjoy heading to the private beach aboard the resort’s water taxis where a full range of water sports abound. You’ll also want to spend time at the Harborside Pool Club, a lakefront oasis with three pools, a 450-foot floating river, water slides, luxury cabanas with personalized butler service, and a pool bar serving cocktails and light bites.

2. Sandy Pines, Kennebunkport, Maine
Elevate a warm-weather camping experience with a stay in beautiful, natural surroundings at Sandy Pines, where you’ll choose from family cottages or glamping tents spacious enough to accommodate your clan. Spend your leisure time in the heated saltwater pool, playing lawn games or on the playground with the little ones. A short walk or bike ride away you’ll find Goose Rocks Beach, popular with families for its three miles of pristine white sand and calm waters thanks to shelter by a barrier reef. There you can rent paddleboards or kayaks, fly kites or relax and enjoy the sea breezes.

3. Lone Mountain Ranch, Big Sky, Mont.
Just a stone’s throw from Yellowstone National Park’s northwest border, in the shadow of Lone Peak, you’ll find a cluster of hand-built cabins. Authentic and luxurious, the historic accommodations, tucked creekside, in the pine trees or in meadows, help visitors conjure the days when the property was a working cattle ranch, operating in untamed country. Then as now, the region is home to stunning vistas and abundant wildlife including grizzlies, black bears, bison and wolves. In the company of guides or on your own, adventurers have the chance to fish Blue Ribbon trout streams and explore the last best place via horseback, mountain bikes, paddleboards and on the many hiking trails in the area.
