Why you should go: Because dreams of escaping to a tropical paradise are practically hard-wired into our brains. Where better to make this fantasy a reality than Fiji, that South Pacific archipelago defined by white sands, lush rainforest and teal waves breaking over the reef? Catch the "Bula" spirit at Nanuku, a 5-star resort with just 37 villas, suites and residences spread across 500 acres along Fiji's Coral Coast.

Members only: No surprise, 5-star stays in Fiji come at a premium. But we've secured exclusive rates for Travelzoo members on five-night stays into December. (The public rates for this package soar over $4600, but club members save $1950.) With this offer, you'll stay in a spacious villa with a private pool and get daily breakfast, a resort credit and a dedicated concierge.
