"Only a roughly three-hour flight from Southern California, this oceanfront resort offers romantic plunge-pool suites, elevated dining experiences, and adults-only relaxation in the Tamai Pool.

Medical access and babysitting services are available, and the gentle sound of waves offers a naturally soothing backdrop for naps and downtime." - Travel + Leisure Editors
