Cayo Espanto, Belize

Cayo Espanto's level of luxury runs at a high price -- if you're lucky, you can land a room at $995 US a night in low season, on up to $2,495 for a larger, two-story villa in high season. For $10,000 - $12,000 a night, guests can rent the entire Belize island for a group, a small wedding or the world's best private island party.

Cayo Espanto's rates are all-inclusive, covering everything but wine, cordials and champagne. And in the case of Cayo Espanto, all-inclusive really includes everything.

Step inside your private villa and look around: Trillion thread-count sheets (rumor has it they retail for $3,000 a set). A private plunge pool, refreshingly cool by day, a hot tub by night. A refrigerator stocked with icy beer, bottled water and soda. The bathroom, stylishly appointed and stocked with bathrobes, high-end soaps and bath products. The shower? al fresco.

Since relaxation is Cayo Espanto's mantra, there's seating all over the place: rattan armchairs in the room, Adirondack chairs facing the horizon beside the pool, an immaculate white hammock under the palms, beach chairs on the sand, and of course, lounge chairs at the end of the private dock.

And if you're missing anything, just pick up that walkie-talkie.
