6 Sexy Weekend Getaways
Recharge and reconnect with these romantic destinations.
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea (Hawaii)
The
gorgeous landscape of Maui is custom-made for romance. Boasting
year-round bikini-friendly temperatures and a diverse lineup of
recreation — from posh spas and postcard-worthy beaches to world-class
golf courses and waterfall hiking — this Hawaiian island is a tropical
respite from the real world.
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea (Hawaii)
Once
you set foot in the 5-star Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, you'll
be hard-pressed to break free from the poolside foot massages, Japanese
Kobe beef at Duo, complimentary activities and endless thoughtful
amenities.
L'Auberge Carmel (California)
With
its mix of chic boutiques, art galleries and bistros, the coastal
village of Carmel, where Clint Eastwood was once mayor, caters to
well-heeled travelers. This former artists' colony is now a romantic
refuge for those who appreciate a refined and slow-paced getaway.
L'Auberge Carmel (California)
Built
in 1929 and later renovated, L'Auberge is an intentionally intimate
boutique hotel. Its 20 rooms have French windows, ocean views, comfy
king- or queen-size beds, decadent down bedding, oversize tubs and
heated bathroom floors. The hotel's 12-table restaurant, Aubergine, is
equally beguiling and features a 4,500-bottle wine cellar.
The Setai (Miami)
Packed
with runway-ready locals, glamorous nightclubs, spectacular warm
weather and picture-perfect beaches, there's something inherently sexy
about Miami's South Beach. The ultimate getaway for nightlife lovers is
its Ocean Drive strip of restaurants and clubs, and there are plenty of
swanky places to sleep in late after a night on the town.
The Setai (Miami)
Among
the most luxurious places in Miami is the Asian-inspired Setai. A
Zen-like counterbalance to trendier hotels, it features suites that are
spacious and serene, three pools that are kept at three different
temperatures, and a hotel spa that offers in-room treatments. When the
sun goes down, the hotel's courtyard transforms into a sexy lounge with
mood-making ambient music.
Wickaninnish Inn (British Columbia)
Few
places in the world are more romantic than the relatively unspoiled
town of Tofino. Tucked away on the western end of British Columbia's
Vancouver Island, you'll spend days meandering through Pacific Rim
National Park Reserve or kayaking, surfing and whale-watching at Long
Beach, which is widely considered to be one of the best oceanfronts in
all of Canada.
Wickaninnish Inn (British Columbia)
After
sunset, cuddle up in front of a fireplace to listen to the crashing
waves with a glass of local wine. Romantics will love the posh environs
of the Wickaninnish Inn, where every room boasts ocean or beach views.
Try side-by-side couple's treatments at the resort's elegant Ancient
Cedars Spa.
Live Aqua Cancun (Mexico)
Cancun
gets a bad rap for resorts filled with loud party crowds or overrun by
energetic children, but this Mexican-owned Grupo Posadas property defies
such silly notions. Despite its Zona Hotelera address, calm, privacy
and panoramic blue skies prevail at this tony, all-inclusive resort.
Live Aqua Cancun (Mexico)
Seven
on-site restaurants let you have your pick of cuisines, and Aqua Club
rooms grant guests access to a VIP lounge. If you really want to
splurge, book a suite with its own whirlpool tub.
Viceroy Santa Monica (California)
Think
SoCal sophistication sans the snobbery of other nearby beachfront
locales. A mere 16 miles west of the hustle and bustle of downtown Los
Angeles, Santa Monica is the quintessential laid-back California beach
town. Steal smooches with your honey on the Ferris wheel at Santa Monica
Pier, admire the always-stunning sunsets or shop till you drop at the
Third Street Promenade, a retail mecca.
Viceroy Santa Monica (California)
For
a romantic rendezvous, indulge yourselves at the Viceroy Santa Monica,
from private poolside cabanas to retro-style bikes that guests can
borrow to cruise along the beach to top-notch dining at the property's
restaurant, Cast.
