Rosewood Miramar Beach, California

The relatively new Rosewood Miramar Beach has come a long way from its original incarnation as the Miramar by the Sea Hotel in the 1800s. Act two sees the oceanfront resort, backed by real estate mogul Rick Caruso, turning heads with its coastal-chic design, tranquil spa, cabana-lined pools, multiple restaurants and bars (including a swanky Italian eatery overlooking the ocean), and ultra-luxurious rooms, suites, and multi-bedroom bungalows set directly on the sand.
