    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!

    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: TIBI

    If there's one thing a Tibi runway never fails to lack, it's plenty of color... and this year's Miami Swim show was no exception! While there was little variety in the cut of the suits, which mainly alternated between minimal-coverage bikinis and one-pieces bearing deep necklines (with a couple one-shoulder numbers thrown into the mix), the abundance of bright, tropical prints seemed practically bottomless! If the tribal-gone-funky theme was not apparent enough with the models' cuffed forearms, gold metal sandals, and idol symbol jewelry dangling from their ears and necklines, the suits' many patterns -- from neon geometric tribal designs to tropical orchid-inspired florals -- cleared up all possible doubt. Even among the sea of shocking pink and turquoise suits, a particularly gorgeous magenta tunic dress stood out, trailing a flowing train of silk in its path and closing the show in the fiercest way possible. Check out the slideshow for some highlights straight from the runway! Photo Credit: Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

    Gotta Getaway? Head Over To Ibiza's Insotel Fenicia Prestige

    Breathtaking seascapes and beaches, eccentric cultures, and the planet's biggest party destination? What more could you ask for! Summer in Ibiza really means season of soiree, as the beginning of June marks the kickoff for the largest and craziest nightclubs in the world. There's no excuse for skipping the nightlife here, with beach bars for daytime playtime, hot spots to sip and watch the sunset, raging parties for nighttime nonsense, and after party bars that extend the hours of the semi-regulated closing time of 6am. If you're one who's gotta have their party and their getaway, The Insotel Fenicia Prestige is just the place to get the luxury time you need in between flitting about the boundless social scene. This first class resort features its own top-notch bars and restaurants, spectacular views and services, and a spa to spoil you senseless, all making for a secluded kind of fun for even the most zealous of party people to recuperate. With suites galore, who could say no to amenity lists featuring luxuries like "terrace" and "hydromassage shower" epitomized by the surroundings of this immensely beautiful island? The hotel's location says it all, close enough to the hot spots, yet away enough to tour Ibiza's natural beauty. With exhausting hidden beaches and coves to explore via Vespa, even the party-pooper will flip over the incredible Balearic island adventure in store within the outskirts of the resort. Whether it be club or cove hopping, this quickly-navigable, small but bustling hotspot of an island will be the intoxicating getaway you've been craving!
