vantages
Places offering advantages
Vantages is the plural of vantage, meaning positions or conditions that provide advantage or a superior view.
A vantage point is a place from which to observe: From various vantages along the cliff, we could see the whole coastline.
The word often implies strategic positioning—physical or figurative—that offers perspective unavailable from other spots.
