Little Palm Island

What the classifiers highlight

The only private-island resort in the continental United States, reached by boat or seaplane, spreads 30 suites across four acres, guests under 18 and audible phones both barred. South Seas-style bungalows carry canopied beds, Jacuzzi tubs and private decks. SpaTerre's madrugada massage takes place in the shallow water lapping the beach, kayaks and paddleboards going out free of charge.
