    Many celebrities have traveled with Luxury Retreats -- names
confidential, of course -- and the contest winner will get to live the same
kind of glamorous life that our biggest-name guests do when they vacation.
    The prize includes a one-week stay for up to four people at a luxurious
three-bedroom villa in Maui. $1,000 will be provided to stock the fridge
with the winner's favorite foods and drinks (champagne anyone?). In true
celebrity style, winners will also enjoy spa treatments and a gourmet meal
prepared by private chef. To cruise around Maui and see all the amazing
scenery it has to offer, Villa Escapes' guests will be provided with a car
for the week. At the beach, a complimentary surfing lesson will be given by
a famous local instructor. And, like any celebrity, the winner and his or
her three guests will feel glamorous as a professional photographer
captures a glossy photo shoot by the villa pool, or the surrounding of
their preference.
