We suggest heating things up this winter with a visit to a sexy, sandy, and secluded (say that five times fast) adults-only hotel; 

Whether you need a spot for the long Valentine's Day, er, we mean Presidents' Day, weekend, or a remote locale for a romantic rendezvous this spring, one of these eight is sure to get you in the mood.

Costa Rica: Gaia Hotel And Reserve

Guests will feel truly pampered at this adults-only, 29-room luxury hotel. Tucked into the hillside of a 14-acre nature reserve, Gaia feels appropriately exclusive and private, and has the attentive, personalized service to match. Rooms are spacious and airy; the great views are never-ending; and the freebies abound: breakfast, Wi-Fi, a mini spa treatment (to name a few). Keep your eyes peeled for iguanas, sloths, and the like.

Jamaica: Secrets St. James Montego Bay

This all-inclusive beachfront resort on a remote peninsula is one of the more luxurious adult-only options in Montego Bay, and has a laundry list of property features, including seven restaurants, seven bars, an expansive spa, nearly half a mile of beach, and tons of activities: a theater, dive center, shopping plaza, casino, and game room. Secrets St. James shares most of its amenities with its sister property next door, but rates here are often a bit cheaper.

Miami: The Standard

"Secluded" and "Miami" may seem like an oxymoron, but The Standard -- isolated on Belle Island, over a bridge and a little more than a mile from South Beach -- is truly blissfully remote. Though the hip, adults-only property has small, somewhat dingy rooms, it creates a low-key holistic haven by way of vintage furniture, outdoor bathtubs, a 24-hour pool, yoga retreats, and a world-famous spa.
