Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies

One of the Caribbean's top luxury resorts, the Four Seasons Resort Nevis makes for a relaxing escape thanks in part to its location on the lesser-visited island of Nevis, a West Indies isle known for its natural beauty and lack of commercial buildup. There's plenty to do here, however. On-site you'll find an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II-designed golf course, 10 tennis courts, and an award-winning spa. Rates from January 5 to February 15 start at $695 per night. You can stay for as little as $475 nightly through December 14.
