Amenity highlights: A 1,000-foot beach with thatch shades runs along calm-water Choc Bay and features a view of Martinique. Set adjacent to a boardwalk above the beach, one large freeform pool serves as an activity center and is paired with a 10-person spa tub. A second pool meanders under bridges through an expansive terracotta tile sundeck and is paired with a 12-person spa tub. A third spa tub--lined in pink marble--accommodates 20 and offers a sunset view.
