Your result

• 12-15 — Caribbean — Hedonism or a Bahamas takeover. Hedonism II in Negril is the iconic answer. Short-ish flight from most US cities, all-inclusive, established lifestyle scene. Book a known takeover week if you want lifestyle density.
• 8-11 — Mexico — Desire or Temptation. Cancun has the easiest US connectivity, the best lifestyle-friendly all-inclusive resorts (Desire RM, Pearl, Temptation), and the most flexibility on takeover dates. Strong default first lifestyle trip.
• 4-7 — Mediterranean — Greece or Croatia yacht charter. Mediterranean yacht charters are the lifestyle-luxury lane — smaller groups, multi-island sailings, à la carte everything. Higher price, longer flight, but the experience is hard to match.
• 0-3 — Domestic — Caliente or Sea Mountain. International is a stretch right now. Caliente Resort (Tampa) and Sea Mountain (California / Las Vegas) are domestic clothing-optional / lifestyle-friendly resorts that work as a first trip.
