Sounding far more Hawaiian than Caribbean, Anguilla’s most-storied boutique resort is fresh off a (much-needed) 18-month renovation. Fresher and sexier than ever, the lobby got the brunt of the redo: Formerly Caribbean-colonial, it’s now a mosaic wonderland of tiles and marble. From $525.

Sure, this subcontinental, breezy, palmed oasis sits on the other side of the planet in Sri Lanka, but it’s worth the jet lag: promontory-sitting villas with terracotta-tiled roofs, a crescent-shaped infinity pool and Indian Ocean seascapes await those willing to make the journey. From $710.

Built in 2009, it’s the luxe chain’s 17th offspring in the world, rising 31 stories above Mexico City’s historic Paseo de la Reforma. Designed by architect Cesar Pelli — with interiors by Toronto design-duo Yabu Pushelberg — the St. Regis has a very heavy New York state of mind, best captured by its Bloody Marys and hand-painted mural in its King Cole Bar. From $465.

Not even a year old, this 45-acre, 340-room resort on the southern end of Hainan Island (China’s resort-filled version of Hawaii) is a perfect excuse to get your passport stamped in China (while we’re still friends). Enjoy stunning views of the sea and mountains alike. From $194.

Unless you’re an extreme acrophobe, R-C’s brand new 313-room cliff-perched outpost on the southern tip of Nusa Dua is not to be missed. Sporting 180 degrees of Indian Ocean vistas (especially from the R-C’s immense luxury villas), you can practically smell the floral, perfumed air from here. From $350.

Phuket is equal parts fall-over-itself-to-please hospitable and paradisiacally beachy — an especially appreciated pairing at this new luxury resort on the tip of Cape Yamu. You’re surrounded by the Andaman Sea and limestone on the outside, Paola Navone-designed Thai luxury on the inside. From $215.

While it may lie in a troubled region, Oman is one of your safer, friendlier Middle East countries, and this resort — roosting on the edge of a gorge some 6,500 feet up — is one of its newer options, having opened last summer. Take in spectacular mountain views from the comfort of a cliffside infinity pool. From $505.

Last November, Chile’s wine-minded Vik family opened up a 22-room, wavy, silver-roofed, all-inclusive retreat on a bluff that overlooks their eponymous winery in the Apalta valley. With luxury to spare, you’ll quickly notice the impressive art collection that populates the spaces throughout. From $1,200.

Eat well, suite well at this 22-villa chic resort in Argentina’s rustic Mendoza wine region. The famed chef on-site, Francis Mallmann, is a big fan of open-fire cooking (his ingredients most likely locally sourced), which is always fun to watch. Just don’t be shy about leftovers: Each villa has a fully stocked fridge. From $510.
