Resort Features: The 360-acre complex is made up of five distinct buildings, including the Cloister, the estate's original structure built in 1926 by Addison Mizner. Includes 30 tennis courts in several different surfaces, six pools and a half-mile of private beach.

Resort Features: Originally built in 1936-38 as the Dempsey Vanderbilt Hotel. Rooms start at $900 a night. "As soon as you get into the lobby, you kind of stop because the lighting is fairly low, and you're surrounded by stone and very rich woodwork. The design is clean and slick. It's a modern architectural rendition with Asian flavors," Pergant says.
