Barbados
Situated right on the best part of Paynes Bay, the ultra-luxurious Sandy Lane is the most prestigious resort on the island. As you'd expect for the price tag, everything is top of the line. You even get access to an exclusive guest-only golf course carved out of an old quarry.
If you're going to splash out here, go the whole hog and pick a suite with a heated infinity pool overlooking the bay.
