The 13 hottest hotels for winter sun

Times Online: "Up in the hills of Morne Chastanet, the 24 suites at Jade Mountain (0800 894057, http://www.jademountainstlucia.com/; doubles from £500, room-only) are an almost ridiculous redefinition of the hotel experience. Forget impersonal corridors, think suspended private bridges. Forget four walls – each “personal sanctuary” has one side open to the elements. And the real clincher? Light controls allow you to change your bathwater to your favourite colour. Because that’s important, right? The package: Caribtours (020 7751 0660, http://www.caribtours.co.uk/) has Discovery at Marigot Bay from £1,381 and Jade Mountain from £2,811, flying with Virgin Atlantic. "

Do you have a favorite Caribbean getaway?

Still Traveling : "As I trudged through the rain recently, a friend diverted me from cold, wet thoughts with news that she was planning a trip to Aruba in a few weeks. I’ve never been to this small island just off the coast of South America, but the idea of white beach sand and warm Caribbean breezes were enough to push soaked clothes and flash flood warnings to the recesses of my mind – at least temporarily."
