Currently working on plan C of a honeymoon as we don’t expect to be able to go Europe in June/July as hoped. Plan A and B were variations of Italy (relax) and Spain (mountain biking). Hoping to use bonvoy points. Any US centered suggestions? Maybe refocusing on golf/warmth/spa/food now.

Hilton Head is nice in early June. July would probably be too humid depending on your tolerance level.

If you’re east coast South Carolina could be a good option? Kiawah Island? Great golf, spas, beaches, it’s secluded for the most part. Hilton Head could be good too but I find Kiawah to be a bit less touristy.

Not sure if you’re still interested in the mountain biking aspect. But Bentonville, Arkansas is like the mountain biking Mecca of the US. Lots of folks from all over travel there daily to ride. Not a lot of golf, spas, food though.

We did a national parks trip this past summer, it was one of our favorite trips so far. Stayed at the Marriott in Island Park, 30 mins outside the west end of Yellowstone. That was a phenomenal use of Bonvoy points (since you’re looking to use those)
