Put your "Paws Up" and relax in Montana

Aug 9th, 2009 at 12:00PM: There's no guarantee that this retreat will become home to the latest in the Where the Boys Aren't series, but Trapper's Cabin on Beaver Creek Mountain does offer the ladies a chance to disappear for a while and enjoy relative seclusion and a bit of relaxation. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa is 9,500 feet in the sky, surrounded by nature and designed for high-touch service.
Trapper's ...One&Only Palmilla's New Villa Redefines Los Cabos Luxury
Jun 2nd, 2009 at 8:00AM:
Set foot in One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, Mexico, and it's pretty clear there isn't a bad room in the house. Elegantly designed restaurants feature carefully constructed menus, and the beach is within easy reach of just about any spot on the property. But, sometimes privacy is paramount. Or, you'd like a bit more special attention than you'd get at the average upscale resort. When your ...Private jet, 4 weeks in hotel, starts at NZ$1
Apr 3rd, 2009 at 9:00AM: The bidding starts at NZ$1, but it probably won't stay there long! New Zealand Luxury is auctioning more than NZ$30,000 in luxury travel with a reserve that's 0.033% of its value. The package includes four weeks worth of accommodations at an exclusive private villa, flights on a private jet and local trips by helicopter. Oh, and did I mention the yacht? And the chauffeur-driven private car? Yeah, ...Invest in yourself in St. Lucia, earn a $1,000 return
Feb 13th, 2009 at 4:00PM: Hotels are giving incentives like crazy. They just want your business. The latest comes from RockResort's The Landings St. Lucia. Book five nights through the "Invest in Yourself" deal, and you'll get a resort credit of $1,000. This makes it a lot easier to book a few spa treatments, eat like royalty or hit the greens. You can also apply the credit to activities on the water, from snorkeling trips ...Star Island won't make you change
Jan 11th, 2009 at 9:00AM: It seems like every effort to "go green" requires a change of behavior. Hotels let you choose to use towels or sheets twice. Your parents instructed you to turn the lights off when leaving a room. These measures can affect change, but they usually don't. Despite the clear benefits, people just won't change. But, what if you could find a way to protect the environment without having to change any ...To relax or invest, vineyards worth a look
Dec 21st, 2008 at 3:00PM: Take a beating in the stock market this year? There's nothing quite like a dose of financial abuse to make you want to disappear to wine country for a week or two. While you're out there, though, it may pay to turn your head back to investing, if only briefly. Lease or buy a vineyard-or just hide in a villa for a weeks-with a bit of help from BeautifulPlaces.
Sorry for the reality check, but this ...Group vacations - French villas are hot!
Nov 7th, 2008 at 1:30PM: Want to make all your friends swoon? Rent out a villa in the south of France for an affordable, peaceful vacation. Want to make all your friends love you? Take them along! French villas have become one of the top destinations in the great tradition of group vacations. I love group vacations; it's like an extended party. Get everyone you like together and watch them interact for a week. It's ...Buy a Sicilian villa... for only 1 euro!

Sep 17th, 2008 at 4:00PM: Vacation homes abroad don't scream cheap, so when I saw that the mayor of the hilltop town Salemi in Sicily was selling old stone villas for a mere euro (that's about $1.42 at today's exchange rate) I knew there had to be a catch. There is. The picturesque villas were damaged in the 1968 earthquake and since then have remained unoccupied and left to deteriorate. Then again an old fixer-upper in a ...
