My bucket list of all the places to visit before I die keeps getting bigger as I learn more about our wonderful planet and the world we live in.
There is nothing more satisfying than writing a tiny checkmark next to a location on the list that I’ve just visited.
Every travel is a soul-enriching experience, and my trip to North Carolina wasn’t the exception.
The history behind these beautiful mountains is a must read.
North Carolina is home to numerous luxury mountain resorts where visitors young, old, single, or in groups can rest in style and have a great time.
I couldn’t wait to wake up in the morning in a super comfortable bed, get up and have a cup of freshly brewed coffee followed by a delicious breakfast in a resort with a magnificent view of the North Carolina’s mountain landscapes.
The sun is slowly coming out casting its light on trees, hills, and valleys while I’m planning what to do that day, hiking, taking photos, or just relaxing in the pool, maybe even working out in the gym.
Since my goal is to make every traveling experience comfortable, relaxing, and enriching I always try to look for luxury resorts with a plethora amenities.
That way, I can take part in different activities, rest whenever I want to, soak up the beauty of both the interior and nature itself.
Plus, that’s the best way to get the most out of your trip.
Nobody wants to pay a huge load of money for hotels or motels where you just get one bed and hope it’s going to be comfortable. This is an everyday struggle that many people face.
They can’t travel in style because places they book their holiday don’t live up to the expectations despite promising an unforgettable experience.
Traveling in style means you get much-needed comfort and entertainment while resting your eyes on incredible scenery.
Before I visited North Carolina, I was chatting with friends who were already there, and they recommended some resorts fit for people of all ages, i.e., regardless of how old you are there’s something just for your needs and preferences.
I also did thorough research to find places where other people went to, visited Trip Advisor and read about experiences they had at each of the resorts I found.
After summing up all the gathered info, four places stood out, and I’m going to tell you more about each of them below.
