MALDIVES
The flight here will never be a bargain (it's about $1,000 from London on Sri Lankan Airlines), but once you land, great deals (and beaches) abound. Rates at the Anantara Dhigu are down 44 percent, netting you a deluxe beach villa for only $345 a night. The cost of an overwater bungalow at Anantara Veli has been slashed by 27 percent, to $350 a night. And at Soneva Gili (pictured; view slideshow), the "seven nights, pay for four" package means a villa costs 45 percent less this year than it did last.
