Tahiti at $780 RT

Tahiti is one of those places where troubles just melt away. In fact, there's only one thing to worry about on this island paradise: avoiding other tourists. Those black sand beaches get a little crowded sometimes.

If you're outdoorsy, it's as simple as stepping beyond the resorts and checking out Tahiti's many hiking trails. There are about a million different trails ending in waterfalls, each more jaw-dropping than the last, but we're also big fans of the view from atop Mount Aorai.

And no worries if hiking's not your thing! Just take a quick 30-minute ferry ride over to nearby Mo'orea. Tahiti's smaller, more remote neighbor has some scenic trails of its own, but the real draws are its peaceful beaches and lagoons.
