Oh, to live the good life. Private beaches, world-class dining, high-end shopping, green golf courses—while it may seem like a dream for most, such opulence is out there, just waiting to be luxuriated in. And you don’t need to paste your face over a frolicking celebrity’s to get close. You can laze on yachts amid azure Mediterranean waters off Nice, shop the trendy boutiques of Aspen’s historic red-brick downtown, or soak up the sun on tropical beaches in Bali. You can indulge your taste buds at the fine restaurants of Paris.

If you’re after a little more action, and possibly want to fund a longer trip, head to Nassau’s high-end casinos and play with the pros. Tired of worrying or thinking—about anything? Abandon yourself to the service experts at Maui’s top resorts. Need a little pampering? Let the spas massage out and groom away any residual tension from everyday life. Seeking some culture? Not only can you pursue art galleries and museums, you can experience foreign cities in style—and without the hassle and fuss. Regardless of personal finances, we can all live like high-rollers in these plush luxury destinations. (We could really get used to this, you know.)
