As the end of the year draws near, plans for next year's vacation are probably beginning to take shape in your mind. And as tempting as all-inclusive resorts may be, consider something even more indulgent for your beach vacation: a well-located villa in Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Lucia or Aruba, for example. Make one of these upscale Caribbean villas your island home away from home and you'll have the best of both worlds: gorgeous natural surroundings plus posh, private digs with amenities like private chefs, swimming pools and uninterrupted ocean views.
