Activities: You’ve seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, right? Well, given that this is the resort where that movie was filmed, you probably have an idea of the oh-so-romantic fun that awaits on their 1,300 miles of oceanfront property: surfing lessons (not taught by Paul Rudd, sadly), luaus, snorkeling, pools, cocktail bars, the works. Plus: Horseback riding on the beach, helicopter tours of the island, endless miles of walking and biking trails, a top-notch spa…you get the idea. And thanks to a recent renovation, it’s even more stunning now than in 2008 when the movie came out. (P.S. If it’s a special occasion, upgrade to an ocean bungalow, which opens right out onto a grassy lawn overlooking the ocean and access to another, more private pool.) Basically, if you’re looking for a truly memorable—dare we say life-changing— getaway with your significant other, this spot is worth the splurge.
