9 luxury destinations to check out this summer

Malliouhana, an Auberge Resort

Sounding far more Hawaiian than Caribbean, Anguilla's most-storied boutique resort is fresh off a (much-needed) 18-month renovation. Fresher and sexier than ever, the lobby got the brunt of the redo: Formerly Caribbean-colonial, it's now a mosaic wonderland of tiles and marble. From $525.

Cape Weligama

Sure, this subcontinental, breezy, palmed oasis sits on the other side of the planet in Sri Lanka, but it's worth the jet lag: promontory-sitting villas with terracotta-tiled roofs, a crescent-shaped infinity pool and Indian Ocean seascapes await those willing to make the journey. From $710.

St. Regis Mexico City

Built in 2009, it's the luxe chain's 17th offspring in the world, rising 31 stories above Mexico City's historic Paseo de la Reforma. Designed by architect Cesar Pelli — with interiors by Toronto design-duo Yabu Pushelberg — the St. Regis has a very heavy New York state of mind, best captured by its Bloody Marys and hand-painted mural in its King Cole Bar. From $465.

Shangri-La Sanya Resort

Not even a year old, this 45-acre, 340-room resort on the southern end of Hainan Island (China's resort-filled version of Hawaii) is a perfect excuse to get your passport stamped in China (while we're still friends). Enjoy stunning views of the sea and mountains alike. From $194.

The Ritz-Carlton, Bali

Unless you're an extreme acrophobe, R-C's brand new 313-room cliff-perched outpost on the southern tip of Nusa Dua is not to be missed. Sporting 180 degrees of Indian Ocean vistas (especially from the R-C's immense luxury villas), you can practically smell the floral, perfumed air from here. From $350.

Point Yamu by COMO

Phuket is equal parts fall-over-itself-to-please hospitable and paradisiacally beachy — an especially appreciated pairing at this new luxury resort on the tip of Cape Yamu. You're surrounded by the Andaman Sea and limestone on the outside, Paola Navone-designed Thai luxury on the inside. From $215.

Alila Jabal Akhdar

While it may lie in a troubled region, Oman is one of your safer, friendlier Middle East countries, and this resort — roosting on the edge of a gorge some 6,500 feet up — is one of its newer options, having opened last summer. Take in spectacular mountain views from the comfort of a cliffside infinity pool. From $505.

Viña Vik

Last November, Chile's wine-minded Vik family opened up a 22-room, wavy, silver-roofed, all-inclusive retreat on a bluff that overlooks their eponymous winery in the Apalta valley. With luxury to spare, you'll quickly notice the impressive art collection that populates the spaces throughout. From $1,200.

The Vines

Eat well, suite well at this 22-villa chic resort in Argentina's rustic Mendoza wine region. The famed chef on-site, Francis Mallmann, is a big fan of open-fire cooking (his ingredients most likely locally sourced), which is always fun to watch. Just don't be shy about leftovers: Each villa has a fully stocked fridge. From $510.
