Everglades City, Florida, leans into life on the water, where airboat rides slip through mangroves toward the 10,000 Islands and wildlife sightings. Marfa, Texas, offers a completely different kind of escape, with wide-open Chihuahuan Desert horizons and minimalist art spaces that feel perfectly at home in the emptiness.

After driving hours to reach the glamping property — by car, it’s 4.5 hours from my home in Los Angeles — superlative bites of kohada (of the herring family) or chutoro (tuna belly) and a dessert of apple poached in sake will surprise most guests, and in the best of ways.
