Dinner might involve snapper marinated in banana leaves paired with house-made rum and movie night on the open deck. Just picture it: waking up with morning yoga…or sleeping in, paddle boarding before lunch, then a few more hours spent cuddling in a hammock by the palm tree-shaded pool before a soothing couple's treatment in the spa. Each suite, modeled after the surrounding habitat (think wood-shingled roofs, bathrooms made with quartzite green Sukabumi tiles, and deep turquoise fabrics that mimic the blue of the sea), comes with its own private pool and GEM-Guest Experience Maker-who can craft your itinerary to a tee. Guests arrive by helicopter to Félicité, a wild private island in the middle of the Seychelles, where a third of the land is home to this 30-villa hideaway.

PBCOMMERCIAL 2017 BEST OF THE BEST MOD
An 1881 landmark building on Nassau Street was restored to its former glory, including the jaw-dropping Victorian-era central atrium bordered by 287 airy guest rooms done up with mod lighting and subway-tiled bathrooms.
