Hotel Mousai

Adults-only is the operative phrase at this boutique resort perched above the Garza Blanca Preserve, where the rooftop infinity pool overlooks the Pacific and no one under 18 has ever smeared anything on the gold-plated lobby surfaces. The 74 suites run to gold-tiled tubs, hammock terraces, and panoramic bay views, with a steakhouse, a Japanese restaurant, a spa, and several cocktail bars keeping everyone occupied.
