"A scenic seaplane ride frames a sunset-streaked, frangipani-scented stay at this two-island barefoot-luxury property, where one island is dedicated to family-friendly activities (kids’ and teens’ clubs) and the other is adults-only. During a weeklong stay, Travel + Leisure writer Sophie Dodd reports waking each morning to a new postcard-perfect view from her overwater villa, with ‘small reef sharks swam past as I enjoyed a floating breakfast in my personal infinity pool,’ and cites lunch at Ithaa, the world’s first undersea dining experience, and a massage at the newly renovated overwater spa as standout moments. Meal plans can include daily breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a range of alcoholic beverages across several of the 12 restaurants and bars; the most generous packages include a 25 percent discount on spa treatments and return seaplane transfers. Loyalty members receive perks: Hilton Honors members get an extra 3 percent discount per night and can use points to upgrade rooms." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.
