A sprawling (8,000-square-foot) Moroccan-style villa just south of Providenciales in Turks & Caicos, La Koubba has ocean views from all five of its bedrooms.

The interiors are decorated with eclectic textiles and ceramics from around the world, along with hand-loomed rugs and embroidered throw pillows. An arched courtyard leads to a hammock-surrounded pool, and a summer kitchen perfect for barbecuing.

The calm waters of Sapodilla Bay are just steps away--literally, via a staircase leading into the sea.
