Best new resorts under the sun

Newly opened in December, the new Aquamare is a collection of spacious villas, all of which have multiple bedrooms, professional-grade kitchens and open-plan living rooms. The villa décor is streamlined and tropical, with teak furniture and white slip-covered couches. Bedrooms are kitted out with Frette linens, Bulgari toiletries, and there's an extensive pillow menu.

To make the most of the ocean views, all master bedrooms have 9- by-12-foot outdoor shower rooms with rain showers. Each villa comes with its own infinity pool, and for guests looking to explore the British Virgin Islands, Aquamare has a 62-foot yacht available for hire.

If guests are stumped on what to do, or need anything at all, a Concierge House devoted to exactly that quandary is located on the property to assist guests in arranging for everything from a private chef to in-house spa treatments.
