If you like St. Barts, consider St. Lucia

Stars like Hilary Duff and Penélope Cruz favor the relaxed bliss of St. Barts in the Caribbean islands. But why pay $900 for a standard room in some of the island's first-rate hotels when you can lounge in a double hammock on a private seaside cottage veranda at Ti Kaye Village in nearby St. Lucia for $160 (tikaye.com)? Home to a tropical rain forest and quiet beaches, this smaller, less commercial destination has welcomed stars like Oprah Winfrey and Nicolas Cage.
When to Go: January through April.
