THE PALMS

With no end in sight to the boom in Caribbean spas, resorts continue to create masterworks dedicated purely to indulgence and renewal. The latest, and one of the greatest, to immerse into the pampering pool is The Palms in Turks and Caicos.

To create a spa concept befitting the new five-star, 72-room luxury resort on famed Grace Bay, The Palms turned to Angel Stewart, who has previously worked her magic on Ventanas al Paraiso and the Golden Door. The result is a 15,000-square-foot white coral-stone vision that envelops a palm-lined patio soothed by a long reflecting pool.

A full acre is given over to the spa, with a Yoga-Pilates-Tai Chi studio, an outdoor meditation area and a garden featuring tented massage/treatment cabanas. Each of the eight main treatment rooms has a water garden, and two spa suites present guests with the total spa experience.

Accommodations range from $600 per day for a luxe room up to $7,000 per day for an oceanfront penthouse that includes a butler and chauffeur. 866-877-7256; www.thepalmstc.com
