For adventurers, there are plenty of opportunities to get your daily dose of adrenaline from snorkeling to deep sea fishing to helicopter rides, to learning how to sail.

Little Palm Island is meant to be a sanctuary for workaholics to unplug, and that dedication is felt all over the property. The resort has no TVs (except for one—and we won’t tell you where it is) or phones. Be aware that a phone ring is considered taboo here, and an inscription of life advice can be found inside each coffee mug: “Do Nothing Time is too important to waste.” The all-inclusive rate at Little Palm grants you daily breakfast for two, a daily three-course lunch for two, nightly four-course dinners for two, a $100 spa credit per person, per night and a welcome bottle of Champagne.
