You're longing to escape the masses. You're yearning for sublime vistas and an authentic Caribbean experience. You're dreaming of having sand between your toes and a contented smile on your face. It's time you met Blue Waters. Your personal bit of paradise resides in a quiet corner of the Caribbean, hidden away on a series of small, secluded coves lined with powder-white beaches and rustling palm trees.

Your member-only perk: $150 resort credit (minimum 4-night stay). Not on their website: Sure, Blue Waters' location is stunning, the rooms are lovely, and the service is top-notch, but what might tickle your fancy most is the yummy homemade sorbet served to you as you lounge pool-side or on the beach. Local hot spot: Papa Zouks, a charming hole-in-the-wall fish and rum shack that serves straightforward fresh seafood and an infamous "tea punch." Refusing to print menus or cater to every whim, the owners and staff instead sit down at each table to describe the catch-of-the-day and other menu items. A must-visit, according to Blue Waters staff members.

Inside tip: We just learned that Blue Waters had an unexpected cancellation, and their magnificent 5-bedroom Rock Cottage (pictured above), built on a rocky outcrop and surrounded by turquoise sea on three sides, is now available for the 2011 holiday season--an unexpected opportunity for you! Rock Cottage offers four equally spacious and luxuriously decorated master suites, plus an additional bedroom that's ideal for kids. Because of its flexible style, the villa can be booked with 2 to 5 bedrooms as needed. Treat your family to a holiday they'll never forget! Call your Hideaways Travel Specialist today at 800-843-4433.

Where to Travel Now: Greece The Mediterranean is for lovers, and spring is the time to savor Greece's romantic resorts, delicious privacy, and perfect weather before the madness of summer hits. Spend a week island-hopping or settle down in a private sea-view villa for awhile. You'll find the locals amiable and relaxed--unlike two months from now, in the heat of the summer season.
