On SniqueAway this week:

• For a private island experience without the 11-hour flight. Ludlow’s Island Resort. a 70-year-old, family-run resort on Lake Vermilion in northern Minnesota, is just the thing. Guests stay in unique hand-made cabins, ranging from one to five bedrooms. With tall pine trees providing privacy from neighbors all around, each cabin feels like it’s all alone on the island. If there’s a northern chill in the air, cozy up to the fireplace in the fluffy robes provided. SniqueAway is offering some of the 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom cabins starting at$175/night .
• Ojai, California is a small but vibrant community located 90 minutes northeast of Los Angeles, making it a popular getaway for celebrities. Travel like a rockstar on a beans-and-rice budget with a stay at the romantic Su Nido Inn. Located in the heart of downtown Ojai with easy access to lovely boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants, Su Nido’s goal is to provide guests with an oasis of relaxation. With only 12 Mission-style bird-themed suites, service is always impeccable. Reserve a room on SniqueAway for $149/night .

• Viva Las Vegas in the Vdara Hotel and Spa. nestled in between big-name properties Bellagio and ARIA. Vdara delivers a different side of Vegas; it’s non-gaming, smoke-free, and manages to feel peaceful right in the middle of the strip. Each suite is beautifully-designed with soothing colors and modern amenities. One of the big draws of Vdara is the holistic spa, featuring treatments from an herbal enzyme facial to a French lavender massage. Jetsetter’s rates this week start at just $93/night .
• Laissez les bons temps rouler in New Orleans at the luxurious AAA Four Diamond Windsor Court Hotel. Not a hotel for Mardi Gras revelers, Windsor Court’s elegance ensures it stands out from the crowd. Rooms are quite spacious and decorated in a classic and sophisticated style. Take in the views while enjoying a cocktail by the rooftop pool or put on your finest and head to high tea in the hotel’s Le Salon. Stays begin at $105/night thanks to Jetsetter.

So where are you heading?
