Activities at the Villa by Barton G revolve around the magnificent Thousand Mosaic Pool that Versace had installed at Casa Casuarina.

The pool is more a place to see and be seen than a place for a water workout, but it is dazzling. Nearby lounge chairs and shade umbrellas offer respite from the Miami sun, and your butler can provide refreshments to quench your thirst.

Up on the roof, which overlooks the beach, comfy cushions line the area. Have a massage and pedicure under the sun, or repair to the comfortable cool of your room for spa services.

Just don't expect an ordinary spa experience: Both a 24-karat gold facial and an eight-handed massage are on the menu, and you can be rubbed down with a chocolate-truffle-scented lotion.
