  1. Sofitel Barú Cartagena Beach Resort

    Stay 87

    A 40-minute boat ride from Cartagena is the fastest way to reach a beach Colombia's Caribbean coast rarely offers: a quiet private cove on Isla Barú, where this LEED-certified luxury resort sits with four infinity pools, a full spa, and three restaurants running French-inflected Caribbean food. Rooms come with sea-view balconies; upper suites add Jacuzzis and butler service. Most guests, once they arrive, don't leave, which the staff seems to have planned for.

    Two honors, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 87

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country: how people there rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, and what they breathe. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
