W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island
Set on a secluded stretch of powdery white sand, what was the ho-hum resort of Wyndham Martineau Bay has been given a dramatic head-to-toe refurbishment by Spanish design star Patricia Urquiola. Her whimsical, colourful handiwork is everywhere, from the polished cement floors and geometric-patterned, laser-cut screens, to her own furniture designs for Moroso and B&B Italia.
