Turks and Caicos for Two

Turks and Caicos has always had gorgeous beaches and plenty of condo-style, family-friendly resorts, but this British-owned Caribbean island just recently went ultra-luxe, giving more options to honeymooners and couples. But lover-worthy spots don't come cheap—especially on this coveted island chain.

Last year, the 72-suite Palms resort (a Leading Small Hotels of the World property) opened its swank doors on Grace Bay. Stay here and indulge at the 15,000 square foot spa that has private garden rooms, a Tai Chi studio overlooking a water garden, a hip, Pan-Tropical restaurant, and pretty cream-colored rooms with Dean & DeLuca-stocked frigs, iPods, and Egyptian cotton sheets.

If it's good enough for Ben and Jen (Affleck and Gardner that is), how could us mere mortals be disappointed? The Balinese-style Parrot Cay resort is tres exclusive--on its own private island, a boat and plane ride ride from Provos. Bungalows come with private butlers, pools, and teak beds. Its Shambhala spa is legendary among the glitterati too; with treatments supposedly originally created for Javanese princesses.

Also new to the scene: high-end Aman Resorts' Amayara Resort.
Forty timber-shingled, 1,250 square-foot pavillions (some on ponds, some oceanfront) house terraces with daybeds,  opulent freestanding tubs, terrazzo floors, and surround sound systems.  Besides the requisite glamorous swimming pool,  restaurant, bar,  boutique, and fitness center,  this resort even has a  30-seat screening room.

Coming soon: a new Ritz-Carlton on West Caicos island, an uninhabited island in the Turks & Caicos chain that's a 500-acre natural wildlife sanctuary (pink flamingos breed there and there's a reputable diving reef). It's especially intimate since, like Parrot Cay, it's reachable only by boat or small plane. Once there, the island allows only electric cars and bikes.
