Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos

Stone, driftwood, and pale blues echo the island's old salt-harvesting trade at this resort on the quiet, largely undeveloped shores of South Caicos. Rooms are minimal and sun-drenched, with deep-soaking tubs and terraces angled at the sunset. The spa runs salt-inspired treatments above the sea, and the food truck by the pool handles frozen cocktails without any ceremony. The whole place moves at an unhurried pace that South Caicos seems to enforce regardless.
