- Caneel Bay, St. John
St. John, US Virgin Islands
Located on the 5,000-acre Virgin Islands National Park, the Caneel Bay resort is surrounded by seven beaches and offers a wide range of pampering and activities — a visit to Honeymoon Beach is a must for all lovebirds.
Some rooms have ocean views and a patio that opens right onto the beach, while the resort’s most extravagant lodging option is a private cottage.
Daytime activities include relaxing on the beach or participating in the resort’s many activities, which include scuba diving, kayaking and yoga-for-two classes.
The food is absolutely superb, and the Beach Terrace offers the highly praised grand buffet on Monday nights overlooking Caneel Beach.
Do inquire about their wedding planning service, if you are interested in a wedding at the hotel.

Wedgewood Hotel & Spa
Wedgewood Hotel & Spa
A luxurious gem sits in the heart of Vancouver’s thriving cosmopolitan core, amidst the gardens and waterfalls of the fashionable Robson Square.
Still privately owned and operated, abundant flowers, original works of art, and fine antique pieces grace this elegant boutique hotel throughout.
Guest rooms overlook the city, the mountains, and in the best case Hornby Street and the Robson Square Gardens, all from private balconies.
The Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, an intimate oasis in the heart of Vancouver is all European-style pomp and old world elegance.

- Cotton House Resort In Mustique
Cotton House
Mustique is one of the most beautiful and exclusive islands in the Carribean.
The islands only hotel is the The Cotton House and has only 15 rooms and 4 suites.
It’s small indeed, but that is because most people who visit own their own homes, and The Cotton House is for the most part intended for friends of friends.
Formerly the property of Lord Glenconner, Mustique evolved since the 1960s as a haven for English aristocrats and their families. Today it has become slightly more democratic, as it allows in commoners like David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger.
Getting a room at the Cotton House, a former 18th-century warehouse, is not impossible, if you book early enough, but it helps to know someone.
Once you visit, it is easy to make friends and it’s a place you’ll want to return for the rest of your life (if you can afford to!).
