"An artificial island originally built in the late 1960s and redeveloped in 2015 into a luxury marine preserve under a 100-year lease. Its long shores include eight beaches and a variety of guest amenities, and the site recently added a Marine Conservation Center (opened April 10) that serves as a resource for biologists, scientists, students, and visitors. The overall offering blends upscale beach leisure with an emphasis on marine conservation and connecting guests to the ocean." - Katie Nadworny
