White Mountains area offers luxury resorts for a New Hampshire vacation or getaway

Adventure is literally outside your door at the White Mountain Hotel & Resort, where 80 comfortable accommodations with luxury amenities beckon travelers seeking fun or just to relax in the mountain air. On-site activities include a fitness center with Finnish sauna, private massage room for spa services, a championship-length golf course, a year-round heated outdoor pool, hot tub and game room. A restaurant with a panoramic view and a casual tavern offer creative twists on New England cuisine and an included full breakfast. The resort is between a national and state forest, so you can walk, hike or bike right from the property. Nearby are half a dozen major alpine and Nordic ski areas, ziplining, ropes courses, kayaking, canoeing and shopping.

All the comforts of home, and all the amenities of a high-end resort, are yours at the Purity Spring Resort, nestled between the White Mountains and New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. Stay in a comfortable room, condo, cottage or lodge, some with electric fireplaces or oversized jetted tubs, fully kitchens or kitchenettes. Lake activities include kayaking, paddle-boarding, waterskiing, swimming and fishing. Back on land, there’s tennis, pickle ball, volleyball, playgrounds and lawn games as well as an indoor pool and hot tub and a fitness room. In winter, there’s skiing, snowboarding, skating and tubing at the King Pine Ski Area. Resort dining means Italian classics at Traditions Restaurant or weekly cookouts. Or grill your own burgers at community grills, then sit by the fire pits and watch the sun set.

At the RiverWalk Resort at Loon Mountain, they believe that every vacation, whether it’s a couples’ getaway or family adventure, should be extraordinary. And that starts with luxurious accommodations, with fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, full kitchens or convenient kitchenettes, and glorious views from private balconies. With suites for up to 12 people, the lodging options are almost endless. And amenities are too, such as a soothing on-site spa, multiple pools and hot tubs (including one of the largest lagoon pools in the Northeast), a fitness center, a game room and a world-class skating rink. There’s even an on-site winery, with tastings and tours. After a day skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, zip lining (or eating and shopping!), feast on wood-fired pizza at La Vista, then relax by the poolside fire pits.
