In May, the theme is Movement. Guests can participate in experiences such as new movement classes to promote vitality, a spinal articulation series, fascia expansion and water meditation. Local visiting masters bring the world’s best wellness practitioners to share their passionate approach to whole-body wellness. Lastly, participate in grounding experiences in the Costa Rican cloud forest, an experience to help emphasize the healing powers of nature through mindful hiking or tree climbing.

June brings Community. Expect breathwork classes to help reset the mind and connect with oneself and others more fully. Engage in communal dining experiences at the resort’s five restaurants while forming a meaningful connection with food as a unifying concept.

Fort Lauderdale’s New Pier Sixty-Six Wows Waterside

Since the 1960s, a multi-spired tower and erstwhile hotel, part of a fuel dock owned by the Phillips 66 petroleum company, dominated a stretch of Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal waterfront as the skyline’s most iconic — if quirky — landmark. But in January 2025, with the unveiling of a new resort at the heart of a $1 billion redevelopment project here, Pier Sixty-Six and its mid-century masterpiece tower were reborn as a waterfront destination, remaking the beloved neighborhood just blocks from the beach. The 32-acre project features a luxury resort and residences; multiple waterfront culinary venues (with more rolling out throughout 2025); and a world-class mega-yacht marina befitting of the title “Yachting Capital of the World,” complete with 164 deepwater slips for yachts up to 400 feet long.

The Magic of Waterfalls: Discover the World’s Most Iconic and Unique Falls

They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are torrential and loud, dumping thousands of gallons of water per second, sending mist hundreds of feet up into the air as water soars over a mountain or cliff edge. Others are more delicate, like a long trickle down smooth rock, creating a vast and mesmerizing maze of trails before pooling below. Whatever the type, waterfalls have awed us for thousands of years — and for good reason.
