This 800-acre resort boasts a 7,500-square-foot pool and a 47,000-square-foot spa in a Romanesque building with a dramatic waterfall façade. In addition, guests have access to state-of-the-art tennis facilities and three golf courses, including two designed by Tom Fazio. Culinary experiences range from romantic L'Acajou serving fresh island seafood beneath a canopy of mahogany trees to hands-on classes with expert chefs. Bottom line: Sandy Lane is about superlatives. But it is because of — rather than despite — the size that this property feels intimate. With only 112 colonial-style guest rooms, suites, penthouses and villas, the vast resort is never overrun. The addition of catamaran sailing, banana boat rides and swimming with the turtles makes Sandy Lane among our top picks for families.
