For those looking for their next vacation, jetting off to faraway lands without anywhere to stay could be a bit of a bummer, but these hilltop resorts could give you a few ideas for accommodation in style. Situated on everything from ski hills to Mediterranean cliffs, these choices for retreats are nothing short of luxurious.
The best part about staying in one of these resorts are the spa packages available. Perhaps not for the men, but the ladies will enjoy a nice day relaxing, looking out over the views while getting their nails done or falling asleep during a memorable massage. No matter where you decide, these hilltop resorts have plenty of views and something for everyone.
