Maldives look amazing on paper but you're essentially a hostage once you're at your resort of choice. It's not like you can pop out and experience local culture. You're on a speck of sand with only the hotel, its restaurants, and the staff. That's. It. Anything more than five days and you go a bit stir-crazy, making the four days of travel to get there seem much more onerous.

Grace Bay in Turks & Caicos is the nicest strip of sand I've ever been on. It is gorgeous. If you want high-end, Parrot Cay and Amanyara have a similar issue as Maldives. It's a secluded paradise but you get tired of the dining options and there's nowhere to explore.

Another option is Harbour Island in the Bahamas. It's gorgeous and less-traveled and fairly exclusive. It's WORLDS closer to home, yet a world away.

As cliche as Hawaii may seem, the north shore of Kauai is stunning. Hanalei Bay is exquisite. It's SUPER laid back.

There are some other obscure locales in the Caribbean. Canouan Island has a Mandarin Oriental that's supposed to be nice. Palm Island in the Grenadines.
