    While city living is always fun and full of activities, sometimes all you want to do is get it away from it all. If only we could all own a small private island that would serve as a place to relax and unwind, or as a great location to party with your closest friends without having to mingle with crazy, drunk strangers. Now where would you like to have this private island? How about the Bahamas? Kamalame Cay is a private island type resort located right off the coast of Andros Island and is a 96 acre long strip of island dedicated to perfecting your tropical island getaway. It's perfect for a wedding of many, a secluded honeymoon for two, a romantic getaway for a fun place to go for some ultimate girls' nights out! Sandy, warm beaches border a Tiki Bar, a large freshwater pool, spacious Bahamian hotel rooms, a club house and a day spa. As if that wasn't enough, fishing and diving are just a couple of the fun activities offered at Kamalame Cay. Breathtaking views, Caribbean-inspired cuisine, a friendly waitstaff and just that fact that you're on a fully accommodating private island in the Bahamas are reason enough to see why a stay at Kamalame Cay would be the ultimate tropical getaway. Click on the slideshow to see what Kamalame Cay has to offer and book a trip to the exotic shores of the Caribbean for your next vacation!

    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!

    When it comes to choosing a destination for the ideal romantic getaway (okay, for the hypothetical romantic getaway of my hopefully near future), I'm all about tropical settings, luxe amenities, and naturally, gorgeous hotel room pictures on the resort's booking site! After all, how can a hotel expect you to be seduced into staying somewhere you've never been before without incredible photos that promise even more breathtakingly beautiful views in person? And looking at Burasari Resort's online bookings, it's hard to believe that the accommodations just boast good looks. From their stylish modern decor and just-opened spa to their fine dining and tropical beach surroundings, Burasari is the ideal place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the tranquil Phuket coast in the lap of luxury. Check out the slideshow for some gorgeous photos of the resort!

    Gotta Getaway? WhitePod Provides A Snowy Eco-Retreat In The ...

    Looking for the ultimate winter vacay that won't betray your newfound "save the planet" attitude and go green regime? No, I'm not crazy -- you can enjoy a fun-filled snowy getaway without stomping carbon footprints all over the ozone! The beautiful wintry town of Les Cerniers, located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, is home to WhitePod, the ultimate eco-friendly ski resort that'll have you relaxing and romping in the snow rather than roughing it for survival. The retreat is comprised of 15 one- and two-bedroom "pods," all fully equipped with bathrooms, wood-burning stoves, and organic furnishings, that use minimal water and electricity to allow for a more pristine mountain environment experience while still providing the comfort and luxury of high-end lodging. Spend the day skiing (with the help of private ski lifts), snowboarding, paragliding, or even dog-sledding, then relax the night away over dinner and drinks at the community chalet or massages at the hotel spa. I'm sure the Swiss Alps are gorgeous all year round, but you won't get to experience the mountains quite like this (or quite this eco-chic!) at any other seasonal resort! Take a look at the slideshow for the hotel's breath-taking surroundings and unique amenities!

    We may have lost the Olympics for 2016, but we're still kicking. A Chicago girl through and through, I love keeping up on the latest hip places in the city. That's why I love the Wit Hotel in Chicago, the hippest spot in town since it opened in May. This boutique Doubletree Hotel has become renowned for its bold yellow diagonals through the height of the building, and angular roof, a nod to the reputation of the Windy City. Inside, you'll find a very comfortable contemporary setting, with bold color combinations, which simultaneously make the senses come alive and calm. The fun details are where it's at of course - including the luxurious movie style SCREEN theater room, and the infamous ROOF bar, which has quickly become a destination for the stylish in the city. Located in the city's Theater District, you'll get the best of downtown Chicago! Come visit, but in the mean time, check out the slideshow for a taste of the Wit Hotel!
