The Spa at Rockhouse Hotel

"The best villas—gorgeously simple cottages, really, with spare wood furnishings and poster canopy beds that do not distract from the beauty of the surroundings—are built right out of the rocks rising from the water’s edge, often with stone stairs down to a ladder where you can slip into the sea for a swim"

"The rest of the compound includes a 60-foot infinity pool, a spa and yoga room, and a lively restaurant and bar that are destinations in their own right"

"A highlight is the spa, which is open to the public"

"The lush, laid-back Rockhouse creates a holistic haven -- gourmet dining, morning yoga, cliffside loungers, a premium spa, no kids under 12, and beautiful eco-appropriate design"

"With four-poster beds made of local timber and covered in the softest linens, soaring ceilings, and giant windows facing the sea or gardens, the rooms encourage ordering breakfast in bed before venturing out for snorkeling in the sheltered waters of the reef or an “On the Rocks” massage (ask for Joy or Maureen) in the new open-air, cliff-top spa"

"Its namesake restaurant is built over the water, and there is a spa too"

"Spacious vanities and magnifying mirrors make up for it"

"Guests at Rockhouse tend to spend most of their time lounging in their rooms, hanging by the infinity pool, swimming or snorkeling in the ocean below, or going for massages in the spa"
