In winter it's not very useful unless you want to experience blizzard conditions but in summer it must be good to escape the 30°C+ days. Altough it's quite expensive if you do it every time.
I'm going to say Hawaii, but not because I'm from there. We have mountains, beaches, pleasant weather and lots to do outdoors. The humidity for the most part isn't bad. How would you like to wear shorts and slippers year round?

Just checked the Google forecast for Valbonne, boy, those temps are typical of mid winter in the inland suburbs of Sydney. Europe is still in the midst of a warm spell though.
As a comparison, Oberon (2-2.5 hours west of Sydney, 1100 m ASL) on a warm winter's day can be 12C and drizzly whilst Sydney is basking in sunshine and 25C+.. the mountains usually break up any weather coming from the west. Not as good as the Alpes-Maritimes department but not bad for a supposedly hot, dusty and boring country .

Man, your city's climate is A+ for me
By the way, it seems someone is messing with Honolulu's stats on Wikipedia; i.e. some average lows have been lowered by 5F compared to the source (NOAA) like Jan's avg low is 60.7F but should be 65.7F...

You're right, Wiki is wrong. Believe me that's not the first time.
Here in Vancouver it's very easy especially in winter to get a different climate by going to the top of a nearby mountain on the north shore.. you can go from +7C and rain to -2C and snowing in 15 minutes.. perfect for skiiers
First place I thought about when reading the topic to this was...
An underground cave.
