The opulent, 32,000-square-foot Elemis Spa offers two-room suites for couples, beauty treatments, and a fitness center.

Amenity highlights: A 9.5-acre Mediterranean garden featuring fruit trees and slender cypresses contains six heated pools, three with oversize fountains and the two largest—180 feet and 150 feet long—open year-round.
