Kids seem to be everywhere these days – the mall, the movie theater, your trip to Barbados... So we've decided it's time you start taking your vacation seriously.

You're headed to The House, a chic boutique hotel sitting not-so-idly-by on the Platinum coast of Barbados. Oh, and it's adults-only, so feel free to lock the kids in the basement (or send them to your mom's house – either way, you're golden). While our attorneys sort out the impending child welfare lawsuits, let's get into details.

You'll want to get more familiar with the Caribbean sea (the view from your balcony is amazing), but try wedging that in between your jet-lag massage and the canapés at sunset. If you're not too exhausted from all that 'alone time', gear up for tee time at the Royal Westmoreland Country Club – a private Par-72 course designed by Robert Trent-Jones, Jr. The unerring appeal of white sand beaches had already earned The House a place in our top 10, but then they had to go and throw in uber-soft bedding, sophisticated design... and a champagne breakfast. As any Premium regular would know, we would never frown at even the idea of champagne and breakfast in the same place...

...Let alone at the same time.
