Cosy hideaways inside... [View in browser]( [Image]( [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( [Image]( Off-road, off-piste, off-menu – often, the lesser-trodden path is the most rewarding. And so it is with off-season travel, so don't relegate spontaneity to summer. Whether you're searching for the small-town tranquility of the Hamptons sans party people or staving off SAD in season-defying Malibu, click below for our selection of stays with availability in September and October, all ready and waiting for when that 'hey-let's-go-somewhere' feeling suddenly strikes. [TAKE ME AWAY]( [Alternate text]( [Alternate text]( EASTERN PROMISE [JOURNEY EAST HAMPTON]( The traffic jams evaporate, the beaches are blissfully empty, you might even get a reservation at Nick & Toni's on a Saturday night... There's a lot to be said for the Hamptons after Labor Day. And, if you're fleeing city life in the fall, we can't think of a better hideout than the tranquil Journey East Hampton, a shingle-sided hideaway with peaceful gardens, a log fire in the lounge and a lobby bar stocked with everything you need for a negroni nightcap. [VIEW HOTEL]( ROAD-TRIP READY [THE SURFRIDER MALIBU]( 'Endless summer' is no empty tagline at the Surfrider Malibu – parts of the classic surf documentary of the same name were filmed at this very spot just off California's Pacific Coast Highway. Though it's still a stay that's steeped in wave culture (there are longboards and wetsuits to borrow), any trace of kitsch has vanished from this former roadside motel, replaced by a sophisticated sand-and-sea palette, Scandi-esque furnishings and teakwood flooring.

Today, its historic streets are dotted with antiques stores and bucolic brunch spots run by big-name chefs who've upped sticks from New York City. And there’s Hotel Kinsley, a design-forward boutique stay on Wall Street (not that one) that was once a federal bank, but now trades in heavenly – and hearty, thanks to the Taavo Somer-helmed restaurant – Hudson Valley weekends. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( [CASA LAGUNA HOTEL, LAGUNA BEACH]( Sitting on the OC’s stretch of golden shoreline is Casa Laguna, a cosseting and castle-like hideout perched above the Pacific with Spanish Colonial bones, life-affirming interiors by the renowned maximalist Martyn Lawrence Bullard and a textured hundred-year history. With just 23 rooms, there's a clubby, intimate feel that'll set you right at ease and, when you’re not by the palm-fringed pool or in the spoiling spa, Laguna Beach’s galleries, artisanal restaurants and boutiques beckon.
