How Long You Need: 6–7 days
Budget: $$$
Stay At: Parrot Cay. A water lover’s dream, this 1,000-acre private island is home to a five-star resort. Go scuba diving, windsurfing, or snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters by day, then walk by moonlight along the powder white sand surrounding the entire island. Rooms start at $620 per night, parrotcay.como.bz
Eat In: Your villa. The resort's seafood-intense menu -- a mix of Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese cuisine -- prides itself on using only organic ingredients and a lot of the fresh locals (fish, that is).
Tip: Sample the conch. While endangered in the U.S., it’s farmed in the Caribbean, making it deliciously legal.
The Must-do: Work out your swimming cramps at the COMO Shambhala retreat with a wide range of holistic treatments, including river stone and Tui’na massages, acupuncture, and marine mud therapy. $120–220, comoshambhala.bz
Just to Say You Saw It: Try to catch the sun’s elusive “green flash” at sunset. This split-second burst of emerald light sometimes happens along the horizon on a clear day.
