Hello everyone, My sister is turning 40 and my 2 sisters and I would like to take her for a 3/4 day spa getaway. We're looking for something that is on the East Coast or in the Caribbean with a direct flight from NJ/NYC/DC. I looked at Bermuda but it's all booked! We're looking at June 23 - 25/26th. Any suggestions?? Thank you!

It can be a difficult time of year to get direct flights (I can only speak from Philadelphia's airport) St. Thomas, Barbados and Puerto Rico might all have direct flights at that time. With the flexibility of the airports you are leaving from you should be able to find something Good Luck

There's an easy direct flight to Antigua from Newark. I think you leave around 8 a.m. and can be at your resort by 1 p.m. You might also check out Turks & Caicos. Also look at Jet Blue they have some direct flights from NY.

There are direct flights to Mexico's Riviera Maya Cancun airport). You didn't give a budget, but for a relaxing spa weekend in Mexico look into Zowtry Paraiso Bonita.

to get really useful suggestions you need to tell us your hotel budget and a few words about your travel preferences. you surely don't want to waste the time and money to get to the islands if you're going to spend all your time inside a spa - not that that doesn't sound delightful!!!
do you want to snorkel, shop, gamble, enjoy fine dining? any interest in historical stuff? or mainly hang on the beach & chill? willing to rent a car?
do you want an all inclusive? i'd lean towards a 2 bedroom condo assuming sisters will share 2 rooms.
that said there are wonderful 2 br condos available on provo in turks & caicos that are part of various resort with restaurants, spas, etc
grace bay beach is gorgeous. provo has outstanding dining. numerous resorts with spas, next to no shopping.

another possibility is secret harbour beach resort on st. thomas - also condo style resort with good restaurant but no spa. you could however spa at the ritz which is just up the street. or stay at ritz if budget permits.

Ooops...that should be Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita.
