1. Four Seasons Cartagena (Columbia)

Set in the centuries-old Cloister of St. Francis and 1920s Beaux Arts Club of Cartagena, the Four Seasons Cartagena has been over a decade in the making. Meticulously restored to preserve the original architecture, the Four Seasons is part of the very fabric of Cartagena’s storied history. Four Seasons joins a very limited number of luxury options in this vibrant city, creating a whole new opportunity for world-class events and experiences on Cartagena’s Bay overlooking the walled city. 

2. Norman’s Cay, The Exumas (The Bahamas)

A new development in the Exumas, Norman’s Cay has just 45 accommodations including an assortment of villas, cabanas, and cottages. Guests will have access to the island’s cerulean shallows of the Bahama banks. They will be offered experiences that include bone fishing, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, diving, paddleboarding, windsurfing, or kayaking. The Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park is also just a short boat ride away, along with the sea turtles hovering around the “Washing Machine,” an oceanic swirl caused by tidal currents like nature’s lazy river.

3. Six Senses La Sagesse (Grenada)

Set on a secluded peninsula on the island of Grenada, La Sagesse marks Six Senses’ first foray into the Caribbean. The resort will feature two beaches over nearly 40 acres with just 56 bi-level pool suites and 15 villas, all in the signature Six Senses organic style. Expect a host of active programs to rival locales like Costa Rica, including explorations through nearby Grand Etang National Park to see the Mona Monkeys and nine-banded armadillo, or hikes up Mount Qua Qua to the ‘bottomless’ Lake Grand Etang, which fills the crater of an extinct volcano. 

4. Chablé, Sea of Cortez (Mexico)

Designed as what appears to be a series of luxury pods, Chablé’s new Pacific outpost will be located in La Paz, spread out over nearly 700,000 square feet of desert for just 50 suites. Each suite will boast a garden, terrace space, and plunge pool. Amenities at the resort property will include a large spa facility, a deluxe event space, a private beach with an oceanfront pool, and three different restaurants.

5. Four Seasons Cabo Del Sol (Mexico)

The modern hacienda-style village of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol will feature 96 guest rooms and suites, plus 61 residences, villas, and estates—all offering dramatic views of the Sea of Cortez. There will be world-class golf at the Cabo Del Sol golf course, a full-service Spa, a swimmable beach, and contemporary Latin cuisine from Richard Sandoval.

6. Park Hyatt Los Cabos (Mexico)

Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol is a beachfront retreat in the exclusive Cabos del Sol community on the Baja California Sur coast, close to downtown Cabo San Lucas. Suites included patios or terraces with plunge pools and the Sea of Cortez. Villas come with kitchens and lap pools. 

7. Rosewood Mandarina (Mexico)

Rosewood’s 140-room resort opens adjacent to the One&Only in the Mandarina development, one hour from Puerto Vallarta. Set on a swatch of beach and shallow hillside, the Rosewood will offer a much more communal option for Mandarina visitors. It will be less spread out, vertical, or private. Instead, it will be closer to the beach (with rooms on the beach) and main resort amenities. 

8. SHA Mexico (Mexico)

SHA Wellness brings its acclaimed health clinic to the Americas in the form of a sprawling new beachfront resort located just 30 minutes north of Cancun airport in Costa Mujeres with 100 oceanfront suites and the same transformative SHA Method, perfected after nearly 15 years of SHA Spain.  

9. Soho House Mexico City (Mexico)

Situated in Colonia Juárez in a Baroque-inspired casa, Soho House Mexico City is in a historic building with French influences. It features several bars, including a tequila bar, restaurants in the main casa, and the Pool House, which overlooks our largest pool in the Americas. The interiors reflect the House’s Mexican influences with locally made custom furniture and an art collection with pieces from emerging and established artists born, based, or trained in the region.
