Taking a great vacation break to exotic locations.

Yes, the holidays are pretty much over, and it's time for the office schedule to fall back into place. But are we really willing to stay in the cold, or should we try to get away from it all...maybe for a short while? You can use Valentine's Day as an excuse or just go without an excuse; why not take the opportunity to embark on a nice weekend trip to a sultry and sensuous place? A place you can dig your feet into, literally.

Whether you are attached or unattached, a tropical paradise may be exactly what you need to rekindle that old flame or ignite a new one. A lot of popular resorts accommodate a variety of people, and the trip doesn't have to be too arduous.

Bora Bora in French Polynesia is great if you are a fan of lagoons, especially enclosed ones. This is a lovely location that is quickly becoming one of the most popular vacation spots for Americans. It's filled with energy thanks to the area, especially its crystal-clear waters. The gorgeous waters are also filled with water creatures, and you can take a deep-sea trip to see them up close and personal. Stay at one of Bora Bora's luxurious bungalows for a really decadent experience.

Take notice of its culture and art too, which play important roles in the local area.

According to Wikipedia, the Maldives is "the smallest predominantly Muslim nation in the world," and now it's also a trendy tourist spot.

You can opt for a peaceful and relaxing dip in the ocean, bask in a spa retreat, or take part in the water sports specific resorts may offer.
