Take Her to Tahiti

Breakfast arrives in an outrigger canoe if you book an overwater bungalow at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort, Papeete, Tahiti. You’ll have a private sundeck and platform for diving into the natural aquarium below or gazing at the volcanic peaks of Moorea just 12 miles across the “Sea of Moons.” Come ashore to swim with manta rays in the Lagoonarium, loll on the private beach or swim up to the bar in one of the finest infinity-edge pools in French Polynesia.

Choose a standard guest room and you’ll have a view of the ocean or tropical gardens. If you snag a reservation on the Lotus Restaurant, which sits over the water on a point at the far end of the resort, you can start your evening with Champagne, fine French wines and inspired dishes from the gourmet or chef’s tasting menus.

Nightly rates from $200 to $800; (800) 496-7621.

At this luxury hotel in the Burgundy countryside of France, rooms and suites have antiques and contemporary soft furnishings and overlook a 15-acre park with lake, topiary garden and lawn where Shetland ponies graze.
