JW MARRIOTT MARQUIS HOTEL DUBAI – BUSINESS BAY, DUBAI

If bird’s-eye views are your bag, the world’s second tallest hotel is for you. This super-modern property fits futuristic Dubai’s skyline like a glove. The rooms, restaurants and bars are split between two symmetrical towers. That means panoramic views of the sparkling skyscrapers of Business Bay, which only get better as you make your way up the 72 floors. Imagine what you’d see from the Penthouse Suite…

LINDOS BLU – LINDOS, RHODES

Score a room at this luxurious adults-only hotel and you’ll be feeling anything but Blu. Its clifftop setting means every room comes with pinch-me views across the bay of Lindos. Floor-to-ceiling windows make sure that there’s nothing getting between you and the Instagram-ready Mediterranean Sea… oh, except the infinity pool on your balcony…

RIU PALACE COSTA RICA – PLAYA DE MATAPALO, COSTA RICA

With its palatial pinnacles and domes, this secluded retreat definitely looks the part. It’s pulled up in a beachfront spot backed by green-cloaked hills and mountains. The good news? Some of the junior suites here have huge balconies, where you can soak up the scenery from your very own Jacuzzi®. We can’t promise you’ll be able to tear yourself away to get to dinner on time.

SUGAR BEACH, A VICEROY RESORT – SOUFRIERE, ST LUCIA

This hotel oozes luxury – from its Egyptian cotton bedsheets to its private white-sand beach. But what really singles it out are its villas, which come with spacious terraces, private plunge pools, and uninterrupted views of the Piton Mountains. You know, those iconic peaks that’re proudly splashed across the cover of more than a few glossy travel mags.

You’ll feel close to the sea even from your beach-inspired bedroom.
