This week's little slice of heaven comes courtesy of the twins Pitons -- or at least with a killer view of 'em. Seen from the two-bedroom villa with plunge pool, the Pitons are St. Lucia's most spectacular natural wonder -- and the boasts endless beauty shots of them. But this hotel also features some fabulous amenities, such as an infinity lagoon pool, a gorgeous open-air restaurant and bar, a (tiny) open-air fitness center, and a lovely spa with black water soaking baths. Plus, prices are far more accessible than those at the nearby, ultra-glam Jade Mountain Resort. Not too shabby, right? So as we always say, take a deep breath, relax, and soak in the Monday Morning goodness that is the Ladera.

Just pretend that you woke up to this view. It’s almost as good as actually being there.
