Turks and Caicos: The Palms

THE SPA Surrounded by peaceful, torchlit pools, this boutique resort and spain Providenciales spreads across more than an acre's worth of meditation areas and tented cabanas.

SETTING Grace Bay Beach, where pink flamingos glide overhead and perfectly formed conch shells are scattered about the powdery white sand, is a mere 75-minute flight from Miami.

SIGNATURE TREATMENT The 30-minute Mother-of-Pearl Full-Body Exfoliation contains pulverized conch shells and your choice of aromatherapy oils.

MORE THAN MASSAGE Hobie Cats, snorkel gear, and kayaks are free. But you may not want to leave the $1.8 million Infinity pool, with rotating sun pods and a hot tub "island." Sunbathers enjoy sorbet, aromatherapy mists, and iPods.

CUISINE Munch on fresh ceviche with plantains on a pool banquette in the water.
