What it is

An ultra luxe resort on 247 acres of beachfront rainforest with a wellness-oriented spa, thatch roofed bungalows, and two topnotch locavore restaurants.

What it isn't

What It Isn't

Just about splaying out like a starfish on the beach. The staffers have curated bottomless activities, whether you want to take guided tours of nearby coves or visit a cocoa farm where chocoholics can try the beans just plucked off the tree.

What we think

When you close your eyes and picture paradise, what do you see? A flourishing jungle, pristine white sand coves and turquoise water, and thatch roofed villa to call your own? If so, consider this your paradise found. Every bungalow here is enormous (starting at a whopping 645 square feet), with every perk you need to feel right at home, including a Nespresso machine, LED TV, minibar, and canopied bed draped in romantic mosquito netting. We love the Luxury Bungalows for their private balconies complete with outdoor showers, plus a sweeping 753 square foot floor plan.

You're here because

The resort has landed a coveted membership in Relais & Châteaux, which means every inch of the place will be flawless. Plus, you’re bringing the kids, and they’ve planned tot-friendly exploits galore (including tree climbing and coconut crafts).

The Moment

After your blissful ayurvedic massage in the spa, you decide to treat yourself even further: to a late dinner with wine pairings under the stars (and palm trees) in one of the resort’s pagoda-like outdoor restaurants. Heaven.
