    that stand sentry over the amous curve o sand,

    with easy access to H onolulus glitzy shopping, diningand nightlie scene. Or go quiet on the North Shore

    (pictured), where a laid-back sur culture holds sway.

    Add a native touch to your nuptials with a conchblower, a lei exchange and a ukulele player to strum

    you down the aisle. Your reception gets even more

    sensual when you include a perormance by localhula dancers, who share the legends o Old Hawaii

    through the art o dance.

    o Saint Lucia, is one o the Caribbeans

    sexiest resorts. The 23 rooms (known as

    pool sanctuaries, each with a celestial namelike Moon or Galaxy) were built without a

    ourth wall, so theres nothing between you

    and incredible views o the sparkling seaand towering Piton mountains. Bathrooms

    are open-plan, melding into the ambience.

    Showers include a rain showerhead andsix separate body sprays, but our avorite

    touch is the two-person chromatherapy

    Jacuzzi, whose underwater LED lights arecustomizable to your mood, rom calming

    green to energizing red. From $950.
