luxury beach resort for the New Year?

Ocean View Junior Suite at Las Ventanas al Paraiso

Festive Season space is extremely difficult to find at the best beach resorts, but if you're looking for a short getaway to one of the top resorts in Los Cabos, here's a three night possibility at Las Ventanas al Paraiso.

An Ocean View Rooftop Terrace Junior Suite (see the picture above to get an idea of the views) just became available. The check-in date is January 1st with a January 4th check-out... and you can extend your stay beyond this date. The room rate is $2280 per night plus 34% tax and service for the three night period.

You'll receive extra value just by booking through your Virtuoso travel consultant:

• Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
• Continental breakfast daily, for up to two in room guests served in restaurant
• $100 USD Equivalent Spa Services credit, to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
• Early check-in/late check-out subject to availability

don't be a last-minute travel planner

It's probably too late if you want to make any BIG plans for Labor Day weekend (although I did make one last-minute booking last night for a client who will be spending the weekend at the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas). However, if you'd like to be vacationing somewhere during the Christmas and New Year season — and you don't already have reservations — now is the time to do some serious dreaming...

Are you drawn to the beach, to the mountains, to a romantic countryside inn, or to a vibrant city? Do you want to stay close to home - or fly to a far-off destination? Many resorts have minimum stay requirements over Festive Season, and many of the best properties are wait-list only at this point ... but the longer you wait, the more limited your options will be! The holidays are not friendly to last minute travel planning.

Summer is already over! What's on your bucket list for this fall and winter?
