    Is there anything more relaxing than a tranquil stay at a beach-front home? While it may be hard to venture off to a seaside escape, bringing under-the-sea-inspired home decor and the soothing colors of the ocean into your own living space is easily doable and beneficial to everyone. While an under-the-sea theme usually conjures up the bright colors and cartoon-like sea creatures reminiscent of Disney movies and kids' birthday parties, putting a more tasteful spin on things is easy! Subtle home accessories, peaceful colors and rich, quality materials make you home into a mini-beach front getaway, even if you live in the middle of the city. Click on the slideshow to see some stylish sea-inspired home accents that will help turn your space into a calm and charming Octopus's Garden!

    Hawaii may be your default tropical getaway, but if you thought that shallow-water snorkeling trip was cool, you ain't seen nothing yet! Think outside the box and consider the Maldives for your next island adventure and explore the mass of tiny tropical islands in the coolest way possible aboard the Four Seasons Explorer. Starting at the resort's headquarters, Kuda Huraa, the three-deck catamaran takes you on an exotic tour of the most remote diving and snorkeling sites that are bound to fascinate divers of all levels! The 22-passenger limit and high-end accommodations (including an onboard bar, of course!) give the cruise a relaxing privacy, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy for both luxury-loving sunbathers and adventurous divers alike! Prone to seasickness? Don't fret -- you can choose between a three, four or seven day cruise, then spend the rest of your vacay soaking up the sun back on shore (but don't take too long deciding -- it's best to go between December and April for maximum daily sunlight)! And make sure you bring an underwater camera in case you stumble upon a whale shark! Look at the slideshow for a peek at what you can look forward to onboard the Explorer!

    Where can you find a vacay that combines the sand and surf of an island getaway, A-List-worthy nightlife for ultimate lounging, and all the modern luxuries that true foodies and shopaholics can't live without? Sydney, Australia, of course! Bondi Beach's hippest hotel and hot-spot, Ravesi's Hotel, is the ideal place to relax on the coast, indulge in the neighborhood's fine dining and boutiques, and explore the nearby culture with a quick cab ride to Sydney's central business district. Designed by abstract artist Dane van Bree, the hotel's guest rooms provide a modern spin on Aboriginal art and culture with its gold and metal palate and artwork, but with the getaway's gorgeous beach location, it's hard to keep yourself cooped up indoors! If the scenery isn't beautiful enough to fully tempt you, you're likely to bump elbows with local celebrities at the hotel's Drift Cocktail Lounge, which lures out locals and tourists alike. Check out the slideshow to see some photos of Ravesi's luxury accommodations -- I dare you to hold back from buying a one-way ticket straight to Sydney!

Atlantis offers miles of the white sand beaches of a Bahamian Island and if that's not enough, Paradise Lagoon of Atlantis offers swimming, sunbathing and a variety of water sports.
