"The serene boat ride to this private island resort sets the mood for what's to come." Surrounded by white sand beaches, "it's the most tranquil place ever." The whitewashed main building has a warm, contemporary interior with British colonial touches. Airy rooms have four-poster beds, teak and Balinese furnishings, and terra-cotta tiles. The Como Shambhala Retreat spa offers Asian-style treatments. At Terrace, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is served overlooking the sea. "Butlers provide perfect, low-key, attentive service—pampered is the word that comes to mind when you're here."
