It's been an interesting week.  The boss is giving you hell at work.  Your dog died.  Your girlfriend broke up with you.

Whatever the reason, you need to getaway... quick.  Jet over to Caneel Bay Resort, your new off-the-radar spot on the island of St. John in the US Virgin Islands.  Nestled within the National Park, this eco-gem is bordered by seven secluded beaches, and set on over a hundred acres of greenery, so plan to be good and lost for at least the next three days.

What you really need is some privacy, so check into one of the Premium Beach Front rooms (no relation).  Caneel prides itself on its 'low-key luxury' – noticeably absent are some of the more modern 'amenities' (you know... plunge pool, plasma TV).  But this shouldn't bother you.  You want to be one with nature, and the balconies on these single-level units open out onto the finest beaches at Caneel; and should prove quite handy for when you feel the urge to stagger about, drunk-calling your ex.  Or not.

We have a better idea:  head to the Caneel Beach Bar and Grill.  When you're done with your burger and fries, put those networking skills to good use and gather up some groupies for the rum-tasting demonstration or head to the beach.  Pretty soon you'll be asking:  which one?

Here's a hint:  we're not talking about picking a beach.
