From location to service, the most expensive resorts around the globe offer a one-of-a-kind experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
From Italy to Fiji and the Philippines, some of the most expensive luxury resorts in the world seem to reside around the pristine shores of the Pacific, Caribbean, or Mediterranean Sea. These places radiate an ambience like straight out of a movie, though if you’ve ever had the chance to spend a night in one of these resorts, you’ll know that these far-flung paradises do exist in reality. Here’s a closer look.
