6.) Intimate Resort Escape: The House, Barbados

The House is an adults-only resort on the West coast of Barbados. With only 34 suites, the resort is an intimate escape. Guests are pampered with a complimentary jet lag massage in a beach cabana before enjoying the included afternoon tea and evening canapés.

In the mornings feast on a champagne breakfast (which is included) and then explore the beauty of Barbados; or do nothing at all. The exotic location combined with a 24-hour ambassador (and no rug rats running amok!) ensure that all that guests have to focus on is each other.

Daily rates start at $595 a night and include daily breakfast.
