2008 is just two short months away, yet a few of our favorite properties in sunny climes remain available for the taking. These are the best of the New Year’s villas that rest…

Get your hands on these New Year’s party pads before someone else does:

#5 – Dream Castle, Jamaica
Ring in the New Year in Montego Bay, with a full staff to wait on you and a castle all your own. This eight-bedroom estate is great for big families; it’s stocked with amenities from free WiFi to an iPod docking system. Low-tech wonders include an alfresco dining area.

#4 – Villa Manise, Curacao
Make your resolutions in the Caribbean’s steamy far south this year. Villa Manise is a very modern seven-bedroom home surrounded by vegetation, with a pool area that rivals the best on the island. The charming gingerbread town of Willemstad is just 10 minutes away.

#3 – Hale Nana Kohola, Hawaii
You’re just a few steps from the beach at Hale Nana Kohola, a classic Hawaiian retreat on the Big Island. Its third-storey whalewatching nest, with 360-degree views of the land and ocean, is the way to celebrate 2008 right.

#2 – Castelet, Nevis
Live indoors and out at Castelet, an open-plan home built to enjoy the views and weather of Nevis. You can enjoy your holiday in complete privacy here, with native stone and vegetation buffering it from the outside world. The infinity pool has a direct view of the ocean.

#1 – Oceane, St. Martin
This colorful home in the hills of St. Martin enjoys full privacy but is still just a walk to Plum Bay Beach. Count down to midnight on the pool deck or sharing drinks on the verandah. The house is full of spots to just lounge and enjoy each other’s company.
