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.
