Anytime is a good time for a girls’ weekend away; however, October is a particularly poignant time for some self care and bonding with your besties in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here we share some resorts and spas across the country using the opportunity to curate special experiences for guests while raising money and awareness for women’s health charities and healthy habits.

The Langham Huntington, Pasadena will be fundraising with its Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with 10 percent of proceeds from treatments at the Chuan Spa and ticket sales supporting City of Hope’s Women’s Cancer programs. The hotel’s Chuan Spa will host three complimentary wellness events in October, with donations to City of Hope suggested. Complimentary self-exam cards, available for women and men, will be available throughout October; guests may also scan a QR code at the spa reception to donate to City of Hope.
The Loma de Vida Spa at La Cantera Resort & Spa
La Cantera Resort & Spa, located just outside of San Antonio in Texas Hill Country, offers a 60-minute, locally crafted Raspberry Rose-infused sugar scrub treatment accompanied with a sparkling Rosé or pink mocktail. Guests can also add on a signature manicure or pedicure and a Knesko Rose Quartz Antioxidant Mask. A portion of sales from every treatment goes to WINGS, the only program of its kind in the country providing health care services to women with breast cancer. Also at the spa, Jamie O’Banion, founder and CEO of BeautyBio, will host a beauty secrets tell-all demonstration event on Oct. 8, with $5 from each admission benefitting WINGS.

Also known as the Pink Palace, The Don CeSar will host a Blossoms of Hope flower workshop in partnership with local company The Roaming Petal in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Oct. 21 workshop, open to both guests and locals, aims to raise awareness about breast cancer while fostering creativity and spreading positivity through the art of floral design. A portion of the proceeds will go back to the Moffitt Cancer Center, located in Tampa.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.

Oct 21, 2026Review: Bodysgallen Hall
The National Trust owns more than 500 historic buildings across the United Kingdom, each offering a vivid sense of its particular era. In common with many visitors, I often find myself wondering what it would be like to actually live in such a place. Imagine sitting, for instance, in one of those ancient oak-paneled drawing rooms at night, with the fire roaring and the wind rattling the ancient mullioned windows. I didn’t have to imagine it. Here I was, immersed in history in 17th-century Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales.

Oct 21, 2026How Safe Are Theme Park Rollercoasters? Should We Be More Wary?
No matter your age, we’ve all ventured to an amusement park at one point or another. Whether taking a trip solely to visit a theme park and ride rollercoasters or tacking on an extra day of a trip to enjoy some thrills at a nearby park, it’s nearly impossible to not enter an amusement park. But even the most adrenaline-seeking travelers are starting to pause after the Oct. 12 incident in which 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem fell to his death while riding Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, a theme park outside of Atlanta. After the tragedy, Six Flags, the country’s largest theme park operator, closed 10 rides across seven states.
