Biba founder – and 60s style maven – Barbara Hulanicki mixed international elements into a giddy new cocktail in the design. Celebs are said to flock here, but the management is hush and this retreat maintains its relaxed air, far from the maddening crowds.

Lush tropical vegetation twines across this 18-acre haven: coconut palms, hibiscus, bougainvillea, jasmine and ground orchids flourish here. The area is even designated as an official bird sanctuary. This beachfront estate stands beside its namesake, the glamorous and legendary three-mile strip of pink sands.

Amenities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, resort boutique and fitness studio along with the trendy, beachfront Blue Bar and the Garden Terrace restaurant.

The free night promotion is not valid over Thanksgiving and is based on availability. The hotel will be closed from October 1-25, 2007. As of October 26, 2007, meals are no longer included.
