U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS

St. Croix Æ St. Thomas Æ St. John

FLY Delta’s new Atlanta-to-St. Croix

nonstop flight makes the island more

accessible than ever. From here, it’s a

quick 25-minute seaplane to St. Thomas.

STAY Split your time between The

Buccaneer, a family-owned pink palace on

St. Croix, and The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas,

where a couple’s massage in the spa gazebo

is a breezy treat.

DO Take the ferry from St. Thomas for

a day trip of snorkeling and hiking on

St. John — two-thirds of the island is

protected national parkland.

LUSH LANDSCAPE

We’ll pretty much guarantee

you won’t mind that your room

at Ladera, in Saint Lucia, is

missing a wall. All 37 suites

and villas are completely

open (yet still oriented

for privacy) to screen-

saver views of the sparkling

Caribbean Sea and verdant

Pitons. From $1,800 per night.

WINTER WONDERLAND
Rooms at Crystal Peak Lodge in
Breckenridge, Colorado, face one
of two equally scenic directions:
toward the slopes or the
Rocky Mountains. Nestled
at the base of Breckenridge
Ski Resort’s Peak 7, the
lodge also offers convenient
ski-in/ski-out access. From
$349 per night.

WORLD LANDMARK
Set just 650 yards from the
Taj Mahal, Oberoi Amarvilas in
Agra, India, boasts an unrivaled
location. The best part: Every
room is positioned to have
an uninterrupted view of
the ancient monument,
meaning unlimited gawking
at the ultimate shrine to love.
From $905 per night.

ICONIC SKYLINE

Each of the 100 rooms at the

Z NYC Hotel in Long Island City

showcases the Big Apple’s

postcard skyline via 9-foot

floor-to-ceiling windows. A

free shuttle into Manhattan

makes this an affordable

NYC option. (Yes, we just used

affordable and NYC in the same

sentence.) From $225 per night.

CENTRAL SPOT

Glamorous, historic and within

walking distance of many of the

city’s landmarks, The Savoy is a

London icon. Look out on the

River Thames, Big Ben and

the London Eye from many

of the 195 guest rooms and

73 Edwardian and art-deco suites.

Rooms from $550 per night;

suites from $1,935 per night.
