The Vines Resort & Spa, Mendoza, Argentina
Argentina's ultimate retreat for foodies, oenophiles and outdoor adventurers, this über-modern resort is home to a state-of-the-art winery; extravagant, tricked-out villas (all with full kitchens, real fireplaces, spa-inspired bathrooms and outdoor soaking tubs on private decks); lagoon-laden grounds; a gorgeous pool; killer views of the majestic Andes at every turn; and astounding Argentinian cuisine.
There's a plethora of top-drawer activities and excursions too, like vinotherapy treatments in the spa, explorations of the rugged local countryside on horseback with Argentine gauchos, rock-climbing and vineyard bike tours, tango performances, regional cooking classes, asado feasts under the stars, or learning the art of harvesting, blending and bottling alongside expert winemakers.
