Serena (Spanish for serene) couldn’t be more apropos. This two-story quasi-Victorian mansion is sequestered among a thick of palm trees on the farthest end of its very own beach… and within walking distance of a dozen more.

Each of the individually decorated rooms, with private terrace and rocking chair, chaise, or hammock, face the ocean and an idyllic little island so close you could snorkel up to it. You can also stroll perfectly manicured gardens or lie beside the hotel's exquisitely designed pool.

The French-Caribbean kitchen completes this tribute to style and substance.
