Azul Resort

There are only two large villas at this new luxury option on the north end of the island. Each is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom affair fronting the sea and sharing a large outdoor pool. The decor features stylish bamboo furniture, king-size beds, Egyptian cotton linens, and various contemporary accents. There's a flatscreen television in the spacious living room, and each villa comes with a fully stocked kitchen featuring top-line appliances, such as a Viking range and fancy espresso machine. My favorite feature here is the massive open-air rooftop patio with fantastic views, a private Jacuzzi hot tub, and a couple of shade-giving gazebos. There's also a smaller wraparound balcony off the second-floor loft bedroom. Each villa has personal concierge services. During most of the year, a 7-night stay is required. The restaurant here, Rojo Lounge is one of the best on the island.
