The Maldives has hosted an impressive roster of celebrities (the Beckhams, Tom Cruise, and John Legend, for starters), but the islands are a popular pick for anyone seeking space from crowds. Resorts take full advantage of the remoteness that a deserted island affords. Privacy is paramount: Bungalows are cleverly designed to feel secluded, and some are only accessible by boat. Overwater villas make for quiet accommodations, and many boast individual infinity pools and personal butler service. Glass floors allow guests to gaze at the sea life below, and sun-drenched decks make it difficult to leave the villa, thanks to sunken tubs and cushy seats.

Puerto Rico is a small dot in the Caribbean—the whole island takes mere hours to drive through—but its true identity takes months or even years to fully unravel. That said, it is easy to see why Puerto Rico immediately enchants visitors: The diversity of its beautiful coastline is suitable for those who seek peace and those who seek adventure; the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan—lined with colorful houses, museums, and stores—provide a glimpse into the island’s past; the roadside kiosks sell handmade fritters and coconut water; and the island’s many festivals entertain with art and food.
