Crimson Resort and Spa, Boracay

Three infinity pools face the Sulu Sea from a private white-sand cove that sits well clear of Boracay's busier strips. Crimson is a full-scale beach resort with a glass-walled pavilion cantilevered over the water, a spa, beach yoga, and a children's club built around a pirate ship, which covers most negotiations at check-in. Dining runs from a Latin grill to an all-day café to a beach club pulling in Japanese, Korean, and Indian menus.
