Need a vacation? Absolutely! Alaska seems to be one giant national park. Bristling with scenes of natural beauty in all directions. The Great Land is famous for wild adventure but possibly one of the best kept secrets is the Alaska vacation and luxury amenities among a few locations scattered around the state. The best of those is likely the Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, AK.

A brief and scenic 45 minute drive from Anchorage’s Ted Stevens International Airport, the quaint ski resort and Alaska Vacation hotspot locals hotspot awaits. Modeled on a Swiss Chalet, the Alyeska Resort is surrounded by deep Spruce forests, and tucked in against a backdrop of silver granite snow capped peaks. Our favorite parts of this Alaska vacation resort are:

• The Nordic Spa
• Sakura Asian Bistro
• Indoor Saltwater Swimming Pool

Serious Luxury Alaska Vacation Awaits

The Alyeska Nordic Spa was the newest addition to the property, at the time of this post. Furthermore, multiple hot and cold plunge pools offer an extreme experience for improved circulation and relaxation. Several dry, and very hot, saunas line the outer edge of the private and peaceful setting. Consequently, nothing increases my appetite like serious relaxation. My craving for sushi is always satisfied at the Sakura Asian Bistro. Later in the evening, a brief dip into the massive, indoor, saltwater pool is an excellent way to wrap up the day.

Off-season Delight

Equally important, the common assumption is if if you want to see bears then visit Alaska. First, if you want to snow ski then go to Colorado. Maybe but maybe not. Second, how about an exotic ski experience under the magically gorgeous Aurora Borealis? Very few places can offer you the level of luxury in such an exotic and exciting place like this Alaska vacation resort. Some locals prefer the off-season. Those months of the year when the snow stops falling and the green grass appears. Far less crowded, the surrounding mountains resemble something out of a movie set like the Sound of Music.

Finally, there is much more to say about one of our favorite spots in Alaska. We will share our unique experiences in everything this resort has to offer so you can learn more about us and this Life in The Great Land.
