Looking to spice things up in the love department? Well, wouldn't you know it? Travel is an excellent aphrodisiac, great for reigniting sparks and making you forget all about that fight you were having about cleaning out the garage.

Here, the nine steamiest spots around the globe.

If the warm waters of the Caribbean and the sexy view of the twin Pitons aren't enough to make you amorous, how about some chocolate made from the island's bountiful cacao? Where to stay.

Berlin. View Panoramic.
After canoodling at a dark and vibey jazz club, take a walk on the wild side at this city's well-known fetish clubs, which are so socially acceptable, they're now in every tourist guidebook. Where to stay.

St. Tropez. View Panoramic.
This little fishing village on the French Riviera is just as sexy now as it was when Brigitte Bardot sunbathed there topless in the '60s. Where to stay.

Paris. View Panoramic.
OK, another one from France. But really, how can you top Paris's romantic bridges, endlessly flowing wine and delightfully campy red-light district? Where to stay.

Rio de Janeiro. View Panoramic.
You wouldn't think a city with a giant statue of Christ overlooking it would be so sexy, but this Brazilian coastal hot spot is all about allure. The beach acts as the city's living room, so there's lots of meeting and flirting in teeny swimwear. Where to stay.

Aspen. View Panoramic.
It's 20 degrees outside at dusk, no one is around and you and your honey get to ease your winter-weary bodies into a swimming pool heated to a toasty 84 degrees. Oh, and you're a little light-headed from the altitude. Where to stay.

Seychelles. View Panoramic.
Really want to get away from it all? Head to Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean, where you can loll on the beach and meditate on the rarity of the world's sexiest fruit. Where to stay.
