Galley Bay

Laid-back and luxurious, this upscale all-inclusive has none of that toga-party hysteria associated with such lesser all-inclusives as Sandals. Though movie stars are no longer photographed topless on the hotel beach (as Greta Garbo once was), the resort still has an aura of exclusivity. The Gauguin-inspired Tahitian-style rentals are classically elegant. These intimate rooms open onto 16 secluded hectares (40 acres) of beachfront gardens, a bird sanctuary, and a lagoon, with the biggest draw, of course, being 1.2km (3/4 mile) of white-sand beach. Choose among beachfront bungalows, the more romantic Gauguin rondavels (tikilike huts) with thatch roofs, or deluxe accommodations and suites in the two-story wings.
