Deal of the Week: Your Own Private Island for Just $100 a Night

Courtesy utilaguide.com

Even the most exclusive delights can be made that much more desirable with the addition of one simple word: “private”. I mean, how would you rather travel, by jet or by private jet? Nice, fancy yacht, or private yacht?
See that? When it’s private, you don’t even need nice and fancy. It’s understood in a way that suggests if you have to ask… well, you know the rest.
Private’s a powerful word, but just because it makes things more desirable, doesn’t mean it always has to make them more expensive. Case in point: Little Cay and Sandy Cay, two private islands located 20 miles off the coast of Honduras that you can have all to yourself on your next vacation for around $100 a night… Seriously!

Deal of the Week: Free Nights on Priceless & Private Petit St. Vincent

Total seclusion. Privacy. An absolute disconnect from the rest of the world. If these things are on your vacation wish list, then a private island getaway in the Caribbean is exactly what you need.
Just imagine a whole island ringed with pristine, white-sand beaches where the only crowd is a bunch of gently swaying palms. Step out on your verandah and look all around: no neighbors. Hungry? How about a gourmet meal prepared to your exact specifications and served in very own private bungalow? Maybe a massage later on… or a nap in your hammock; the cool island tradewinds, warm sun, and potent libations offering a new definition of bliss.

Deal of the Week: A Romantic Hilltop Escape in Martinique

The living room in the main building at Plein Soleil/SBPR

Maybe it’s the rhum. Maybe it’s the food. Maybe it’s the amazing natural beauty. Maybe it’s all of the above… Whatever the reason, Martinique is undeniably among the most romantic islands I’ve ever set foot on.
Martinique is French, after all. Better still, it’s in the Caribbean. Take a bit of that legendary Parisian predisposition toward all things l’amour and combine it with the sultry allure of the Caribbean and you have a recipe for romance rivaling just about anywhere outside of the Eiffel Tower itself.
For further proof, see The Thomas Crown Affair. You know, the 1999 film starring Pierce Brosnan and Renee Russo with the sizzling tropical island getaway scenes… You guessed it, they were filmed in Martinique.
