We love a ski weekend but this time of year we’re not above trading white snow and blue skies for miles of private white-sand beaches and clear blue ocean. That's why we’re inviting you to escape to Atlantis Paradise Island. The renowned resort offers 141 acres of lagoons, pools and marine habitats for unforgettable aquatic adventures. There are also more than 40 restaurants and bars serving everything from local Bahamian cuisine to celebrity chef specialties, a Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole oceanside golf course and activities and entertainment for everyone. Plus, their January sale offers up to 25% in savings and a $250 resort credit.

The Dominican Republic's oldest luxury resort, this 7,000-acre compound features 13 tennis courts, a private beach and a replica of a 16th-century village with its own amphitheater. But the main draws are its three golf courses wedged between ocean bluffs and the jungle; "Teeth of the Dog" is the top-ranked course in the Caribbean.
