Tierra del Sol Resort, Spa & Country Club
What to expect: Tierra del Sol Resort & Country Club, a Mediterranean-inspired resort, sits on 600 rolling acres of native bushes and cactus, which contrast dramatically with the lush green golf course. While golf is a principal attraction, many guests—primarily couples—choose the resort for its isolation, tranquility, and off-beach pricing.
Amenity highlights: The pool complex offers a 20-m (65-ft) family pool and a square children’s pool, sundecks with cushioned lounge chairs, a spa tub, and a rock waterfall. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II in desert-links style, the resort's championship golf course includes a driving range and practice putting and chipping greens. Guests enjoy beach privileges at another resort on popular Palm Beach, 3 km (2 mi) away. |
Insider tip: Approximately 1 km (0.75 mi) from the resort, the California Lighthouse has stood at the island's northern tip since 1910. Although visitors are not permitted inside, the lighthouse is a popular attraction because of the surrounding moonlike landscape and the sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea from the hilltop.
