So, if you are thinking of taking a long luxurious break somewhere a bit different, perhaps one of these destinations could tick the boxes on your list of requirements.
New York

Not only are there a myriad of high-end resorts to choose from, but there are also plenty of beaches to relax on and spas to unwind in. Visitors are spoiled for choice with the sheer number of places to eat out in the Bahamas, so if food is your forte then this is the holiday spot for you.
