Unmask Summer Adventures at Benchmark Resorts & Hotels
05/21/2021

Catch a wave on a Bermuda beach or soak up the fun on Florida’s coasts. Quaff a cold one along the IPA
Highway in Vermont. Set sail from Maine with your four-legged BFF. Channel your inner Rock Star at a
mountain lakeside retreat. Raise the bar on self-care with a sybaritic spa day. Host a family affair,
reuniting generations around a campfire. Or take a dive to explore a coral reef – it’s the only mask you’ll
need to “Celebrate Summer Adventures” with Benchmark Resorts & Hotels.
Adventure calls from every corner of the United States--and from Bermuda--as Benchmark Resorts &
Hotels brings back the best of summer at 30 properties with its new Celebrate Summer Adventures
program. From now through July 31st guests can book stays at luxury resorts offering an array of unique
experiences and exceptional value.
“Americans are ready to reclaim their lives and their freedoms, and to explore their wanderlust,” says
Benchmark’s Chief Marketing Officer Ted Davis. “Benchmark is providing superb accommodations and a
multitude of summer adventures across the country and offshore. Most important, we are meeting a
demand for healing, inspiration, reuniting with friends and family and the return to the pleasures of
summer that we have all greatly missed.”
Destinations span coastal resorts, mountain retreats, lakefront and ocean properties, and urban arts
scenes. “Access to the healing power of nature is an important part of Benchmark’s summer adventure
travel program,” Ted Davis notes.
Benchmark’s Summer Adventures program captures the healing power of nature and the outdoor
resources its resorts offer from coast to coast. According to Benchmark’s blog, Head Outdoors to
Restore Your Overall Well-Being , taking it outside and communing with nature can help reduce stress
and improve both mental and physical wellbeing. Benchmark’s resorts offer an array of activities in
exceptional outdoor destinations. Sun, sea, air and beautiful beaches are offered at five Florida resorts, and
also in Bermuda. Love the peace and calm of a lake? Family-friendly lakefront resorts are ready for
summer in the Adirondacks, California, West Virginia and Wisconsin. America’s fabled mountain ranges
beckon from Vermont’s Green Mountains and the Rockies to the San Bernardino Mountains and the
Cascades. Breathe in, listen to the sounds of birds and rushing rivers, watch a sunset. Spas, yoga classes,
fitness centers and wellness coaches reinforce the restorative effects of nature. Each destination offers a
chance to see wildlife up close. Guests can snorkel along a coral reef, hike in the mountains or visit a
national park. And speaking of wildlife, Benchmark thinks furry friends deserve a vacation too. Several
resorts are pet friendly so the family dog can benefit from the great outdoors as much as humans do.
All Benchmark Resorts & Hotels’ “Summer Adventure Travel” packages are available through
July 31, 2021, and include luxury accommodations. Guests can book at
