"Situated on its own olive-grove and orchard-studded private island a short boat ride from Piazza San Marco, this seasonal resort blends larger-scale hotel amenities with private retreats: 266 rooms are split between main-building JW Rooms and more secluded JW Retreats with private gardens and plunge pools. On-site experiences include a cooking school that uses produce from the resort garden, multiple dining options (including a pizzeria and rooftop restaurant) and a lagoon-view spa featuring eight treatment rooms, saunas, a hammam and a heated indoor pool." - Laura Begley Bloom, Devorah Lev-Tov
