The Palms claims to bring a new level of luxury to an island already chock-full of top-shelf resorts. And despite teething problems (a 40-minute wait for check-in, a leaky air-conditioner), it delivers. The 72 rooms - marble floors support custom-made mahogany furniture - are housed in five buildings that form a semicircle around an infinity pool. And what a pool: serpentine, bordered by circular beds, and with a swim-up bar and restaurant. More formal is Parallel 23, where Le Bernardin refugee Jasper Schneider does justice to both East (vindaloo lamb with raita) and West (seared dry-aged New York steak). Indulgence reaches its zenith at the 15,000-square-foot spa. Pre-programmed iPods dispensed to guests contain tunes for all ages. When to go: February or March, when seas are calm and temps hover in the 80s. Which room to book: Any ocean-facing suite in buildings one or five, floors three or above.
