$$$$, Shoal Bay West
Fodor's Review:
Architect Myron Goldfinger's geometric symphony of floor-to-ceiling windows, cantilevered walls, and curvaceous floating staircases is fit for any king (or CEO) -- as is the price tag that goes along with it. Each of the three villas here has a distinct decorative theme and must be rented in its entirety; choose from Russian Amethyst, Brazilian Emerald, or African Sapphire. Striking interiors are filled with custom-made and antique pieces -- Murano fixtures, Florentine linens, Turkish kilims, Fabergé ornaments, Tsarist silver candelabras -- but still manage to feel airy rather than cluttered. They are also outfitted with the latest gadgetry, from touch-pad stereo systems to wireless Internet. A private butler and eight staff, including a chef, anticipate your every whim. Full conference facilities make this an ideal location for corporate or family retreats of up to 40 people. Planned renovations will include a luxury yacht marina and additional villas.
