des vs. les

Pour célébrer les fêtes de fin d'année en beauté, je vous ai concocté une petite liste de destinations des plus alléchantes.  Why des?  Shouldn't it be les, as in the most alluring?

les destinations des plus alléchantes -- the destinations of the most tempting (ones).

Thanks, Chris.  Normally, allechant is an adjective, but in this case it has morphed into a noun.  I will be more aware of this possibility in the future.   Thanks for setting me straight.
