in November 2023. Located on a palm-fringed cove, the 30-acre beachfront The Verandah Antigua is actually a redo of a previous property transformed for adults exclusively. Its 180

waterfront, water-view and hillside suites and two-bedroom villas (some with private plunge pools) are spacious for couples, friends or groups. Six reimagined restaurants vie with the

culinary options of sister properties, the Pineapple Beach Club and St. James’s Club & Villas, as part of the dine-around privileges. More changes include a revamped spa with new

amenities and services, a renovated 18-hole mini golf course and four new pickleball and tennis courts. Four pools and two white-sand beaches keep water lovers happy. Iberostar Grand Aruba

will feature multiple pools when it opens in October. Here, a rendering of the spa. Courtesy: Renders 4. IBEROSTAR GRAND ARUBA Aruba’s Eagle Beach, the island’s widest beach, will welcome

its newest resort, the Iberostar Grand Aruba, in October. In addition to the beach, guests can golf at Aruba’s only 18-hole course at Tierra del Sol, play tennis, gamble in the casino, be

pampered in the spa, enjoy three restaurants or five bars and swim in multiple pools. Not surprisingly, the hotel’s 240 suites — each with concierge service and balcony Jacuzzis — all face

the ocean from a U-shaped multistory building. Guests have an ocean view from the pool at the Grand Velas Boutique Hotel Los Cabos in Mexico. Courtesy: Grand Velas Boutique 5. GRAND VELAS
