If you're tired of visiting the same islands in the Caribbean (Anguilla, Turks and Caicos) try the new Agua Resort, which opened this summer in the Dominican Republic.
Located just north of Punta Cana, the Agua is arguably the most luxurious hotel on the island. Every room has 24-hour butler service, and guests can hire a private helicopter or take an off-road tour of the surrounding countryside.
The 53 suites have a clean, contemporary look with a touch of colonial decor. Guest rooms have four poster beds, polished wood floors and stone bathrooms. Anyone not spending their days on the private beach can opt for spa treatments, snorkelling or play a round of golf at a nearby resort.
Rates: Starting at $500
Opening date: March 1, 2008
