For the Adventure Seekers: Uma by COMO in Punakha, Bhutan

This secluded hideaway is love at first site ? the view of endless green terraced rice fields in the middle of snowcapped Himalayan peaks is surreal.

This is the spot to kick back while surrounded by heavenly beauty.

For the Royal Couple: Taj Lake Palace and The Taj Mahal

The Taj Lake Palace hotel is set on four acres on Jag Niwas Island; suspended (yes it really looks like it is floating) in the middle of Lake Pichola, Udaipur. Originally built as a Royal Summer Palace, these grounds are as romantic as they come ? stargazing, breathtaking views, walks through elaborate gardens, and a virtual noise-free environment is what makes this spot so special. The ?order-anything-you-like? breakfast is the ideal way to start your day followed by poolside lounging or yoga. Don?t forget to experience Lake Pichola at night ? six men will row you and your loved one around the lake on a 165-year-old wooden boat. You can sip on your favorite cocktail surrounded by candles, pillows, and your personal sitar player.

For the Power Couple: The Mercer Hotel in New York City

If living like a high profile celebrity in New York City is your fantasy, The Mercer Hotel is the luxury destination you should seek. The airy, loft-style rooms and sick suites feel more like a private loft in Soho than a hotel; while the lobby feels more like a clubby living room for A-list celebrities. For those who prefer to dine away from prying eyes, you can enjoy dishes from Jean-George's Mercer Kitchen 24 hours a day via room service. Once you?ve had your fill of living the high-life indoors, head out to the streets of Soho to spoil each other with the city?s best boutiques.
