The Glasshouse

Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps a one-bedroom private home on a peninsula so surrounded by water it reads as its own island. This is an exclusive-use stay, so whatever you book, you get the whole place, Pohutukawa trees, yoga deck, sun deck, outdoor BBQ, and a sheltered cove below. The Michelin Guide has it in their selected hotels. Bring someone you actually like, because it's just the two of you and the Pacific.
