Fodor's Expert Review Altamer

Architect Myron Goldfinger's geometric symphony of floor-to-ceiling windows, cantilevered walls, and curvaceous floating staircases set on a white-sand private beach is fit for any celebrity (or CEO)—as is the price tag. Each of the two beautiful multi-bedroom villas, Antilles Pearl and Blue Diamond, must be rented in its entirety, and can be rented together for larger groups. The one-bedroom Petit Topaz is a more affordable alternative at this ultra exclusive resort, and can also be rented together with one of the larger villas. Altamer has been gorgeously redecorated and renovated by designer Linda Warren and outfitted with modern tech, like stereo systems in each room, screening rooms, and fully equipped playrooms. A private butler and full staff, including a chef, anticipate your every whim. Daily continental breakfast, laundry service, twice-daily housekeeping, and access to kayaks, a fitness facility and basketball and tennis courts make this is an ideal location for corporate or family retreats, while the large heated pool, hot tub, and direct beach access add to the serenity of it all. This resort's commitment to the the sustainability of the island is refreshing.
