Stella found her groove in this Caribbean hot spot and so can you and your boo. For the ultimate V.I.P. treatment give the Half Moon Resort a try. And if you are up for something more frisky, live out your fantasies at Hedonism.

Disney World

Don’t let the kids have all the fun. Wish upon a star for fantasy fun during the day and grown-up activities for the night. Disney has affordable vacation packages that can take you around the world at a bargain.

Miami

There is a lot more to this southern escape than South Beach. Hidden off the strip, the Mandarin Oriental makes you feel like you and the boo are in a far away land, minus a passport and customs. And if you want to come back to America, Wet Willies isn’t too far away.

Paris

The French capital is definitely a place made for lovers. Beyond the usual Eiffel Tower, check out the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dam for a scenic place to steal a kiss. Head outside the city for a night at a French chateau for wonderful views and a few extra dollars for an impromptu shopping spree.

South Africa

Imagine gazing at “The Big Five” with your sweetie under the Motherland’s majestic sky. A safari in South Africa (Kruger National Park is the most popular) might be just the fix your love doctor ordered. Should you decide to visit Cape Town, which is a quick plane ride away, do consider the 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa. The excellent service there will blow you both away.

Maui, Hawaii

Get leid in America’s most tropical state. See the beauty of mother nature with the one you love the most. If you’re really up for an adventure, visit a local volcano, then unwind in a hot tub under the moon and stars at one of Hotel Hana-Maui’s cottages on the beach.
