Destinations

While fireworks are practically a given on the Fourth of July, some hotels go above and beyond. And, for this Memorial Day and Fourth of July, these five resorts and hotels have something special in store:

 

Evermore Orlando Resort

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience of summer fireworks. Thanks to its proximity to Walt Disney World, guests can catch unique views of the nightly firework displays with the backdrop of Evermore Bay, a crystal-clear lagoon. The resort offers guests two stay options: Evermore Residences, perfect for multigenerational groups, and Conrad Orlando at Evermore, a AAA Five Diamond luxury hotel. Conrad Orlando at Evermore also features a rooftop dining venue, Ceiba, which offers a front-row view to the fireworks.

 

Montage Palmetto Bluff

Along the banks of the May River in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, Montage Palmetto Bluff offers travelers a nature-immersed stay with a Southern take on summer celebrations. For the Fourth of July, resort guests can participate in a Bluffton Fireworks Dolphin Cruise. This cruise begins at golden hour with an eco-tour through the salt marshes where dolphins can be seen. As it gets dark, the cruise transitions into a front-row viewing of fireworks displays.

 

The Harborvale

Thanks to its proximity to Burlington’s Waterfront Park, The Harborvale offers one-of-a-kind views to Vermont’s largest fireworks display. Guests staying at the resort can expect the perfect blend of comfort and luxury, as well as scenic views, access to the shores of Lake Champlain and fun holiday celebrations.

 

Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square

Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square is one of San Francisco’s best places to catch summer fireworks. Housed in the restored, historic chocolate factory, this resort offers views of the city and bay stretching from Alcatraz and beyond. The all-suite property features residential-style luxury and front-row access to watching fireworks displays from private terraces.

 

Virginia Beach

Celebrate the Fourth of July where it all began. Virginia Beach is the spot where the country’s first English settlers landed in 1607 and founded Jamestown. The same shoreline today is home to the annual Stars & Stripes Celebration, which features live music, family entertainment, food and a one-of-a-kind fireworks display. As the longest pleasure beach in the world, families won’t have an issue finding a prime-viewing spot in the sand.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
