Soneva Jani (Medhufaru, Maldives): The one-bedroom Water Retreat comes with full-size pool, terrace, retractable roof and, yes, an actual water slide that will take you directly from the deck to the waves below. Click through the gallery for more places from "The World's Sexiest Bedrooms."

Cliveden (Berkshire, UK): A key venue in the Profumo sex scandal that rocked 1960s Britain, Cliveden is still an excellent choice for dissolute adventures of an aristocratic bent. The Prince of Wales Suite is Mr and Mrs Smith's choice.

Coqui Coqui Mérida Residence & Spa (Yucatán, Mexico): There's just one suite at this hotel owned by model and perfumier Nicolas Malleville and his wife, designer Francesca Bonata. L'Epicerie features high ceilings, Mexican tiles, velvet curtains and the balcony overlooks a private tropical courtyard.

Ett Hem (Stockholm, Sweden): Ett Hem means "At Home" in Swedish, and the sunny yellow fabrics, vintage chandelier and luxuriant four-poster bed will certainly tempt guests to move in on a permanent basis.

JK Place Roma (Rome): Students of love will enjoy instruction in this former classroom of Rome's school of architecture. The four-poster bed is rosewood while the bathroom is magnificently marble.

Monteverdi (Tuscany, Italy): The Luxury View Suite in this hilltop haven offers soothing decor, rustic exposed beams and panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside.

Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa (Bahia, Brazil): The Casa de Arvore is a three-level tree house made from recycled wood and decorated with bright-white furnishings. The covered veranda comes with a hammock and bar area.

The Upper House (Hong Kong): Studio 70 Harbour View is Mr & Mrs Smith's recommendation for fans of a stunning skyline. The bathroom's centerpiece is a limestone-clad bath, but before you step out of the tub, remember the views go both ways.

The Franklin (London): Designed by former Bond girl Anouska Hempel, the Franklin's interiors are inspired by the Duomo in Milan and the Doge's Palace in Venice. For the ultimate in excess, book the Presidential Suite and sink into the giant four-poster bed with mirrored headboard.

Southern Ocean Lodge (Kangaroo Island, Australia): Enjoy Earth's bounties while stripped down as nature intended in your egg-shaped freestanding bath in the Osprey Pavilion. Snuggle up after in the sunken lounge with open fire.

The Williamsburg Hotel (New York City): If the Manhattan-skyline vistas from the rooftop pool aren't enough, book into the Skyline Suite with its private terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows, king-size bed and marble and brass-accented bathroom (with bathtub and twin showers).

Palazzo Margherita (Basilicata, Italy): At this hotel owned by film director Francis Ford Coppola, you can take in the garden views from Suite Nine's fully furnished terrace, designed by Coppola in honor of his Tunisian grandmother.
