Where to Stay in the Caribbean Right Now
Chase Travel experts explore the world to help you find the perfect hotel for every situation. Get inspired for your next trip with more curated hotel guides.
If the idea of a Caribbean getaway immediately conjures images of turquoise seas and white sand, well, that’s fair. After all, the region is one of the world’s quintessential vacation spots. But the beaches are only part of the story. Comprising hundreds of islands, 13 independent nations and a smattering of other territories and dependencies, the Caribbean offers a surprisingly diverse array of experiences—with resorts that are just as varied.
You can embrace French glamour in St. Barts, play croquet in the British territory of Anguilla, sample bean-to-bar chocolate in Saint Lucia or dive deep into literary history in Jamaica. The following nine resorts run the gamut from historic to forward-looking, classic to modernist, with activities that include yacht rides, rounds of golf and cooking classes. Oh, and those out-of-this-world beaches? They’re a given.
Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla
Anguilla
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Marked by whitewashed walls, plastered columns and courtyards with mosaic tiling, this member of the Belmond portfolio draws design inspiration from Greco-Moorish architecture and is meant to evoke Moroccan riads. On-site activities include basketball, pickleball and tennis, and there’s a croquet lawn that will remind you Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory. The alfresco Cip’s by Cipriani nods to the hotel’s sister property in Venice, while the casual Cap Shack bar, set on the sparkling sands of Maundays Bay, is a lovely spot for snacking to the sounds of calypso and reggae tunes.
Eden Roc Cap Cana
Dominican Republic
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
On the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, this Relais & Châteaux property comprises thatched-roof oceanfront bungalows, suites with private pools and sprawling villas that sleep between seven and 24 guests. Eden Roc is particularly popular with food lovers, thanks to a roster of restaurants that includes Blue Grill & Bar for seafood, Mediterraneo and more, plus an elegant cocktail lounge called Riva Bar, inspired by 1960s Monte Carlo. Beyond restaurants, culinary experiences include mojito-making workshops, rum and chocolate tastings, and classes that will teach you to make anything from sushi to the island’s beloved plantain-based mofongo.
Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa
St. Barts
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
St. Barts is known for its French sophistication, and this polished yet playful resort fits right in. After all, it’s the brainchild of a Parisian designer and French chef, who ensure it’s up to Gallic standards. Set on a curving stretch of sand called Grand Cul-de-Sac, Le Barthélemy is home to the only Spa La Mer in the Caribbean. It also has Abyss, where chef Jérémy Czaplicki, who helmed award-winning restaurants in France, brings a fine-dining ethos to the French-Caribbean menu. Be sure to order the house Champagne; bottles are aged under the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
Four Seasons Resort Nevis, West Indies
St. Kitts and Nevis
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
The Four Seasons brand made its first foray into the Caribbean with this West Indies outpost 33 years ago. In 2019, the resort finished a complete overhaul that saw the addition of seafoam-green botanical wall covers and geometric carpets that evoke the stained-glass windows in many Nevis churches. The property sits on the site of a 1790s coconut and sugar plantation, and history abounds at every turn: You can see the ruins of an old stone windmill from the golf course or take a guided tour of significant sites from the life of Alexander Hamilton, the island’s most famous native son.
Jumby Bay Island
Antigua
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
A 10-minute yacht ride whisks you to this 300-acre private island paradise off Antigua that’s centered around a circa-1830 property. Once you arrive, the experience is all-inclusive, from meals and water sports to free-flowing cocktails and Taittinger Champagne. Suites take advantage of the permanently pleasant weather with open-air bathrooms, and some include private pools. But the Caribbean Sea and its diverse fauna are the stars of the show here. Adults can snorkel, kayak, paddleboard or sail, while kids can learn about hawksbill turtles and even see them hatching.
Six Senses La Sagesse
Grenada
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Taking full advantage of Grenada’s dramatic emerald cliffs and hidden bays, this Six Senses outpost sprawls across 38 tropical acres, with 56 pool suites and 15 villas inspired by vernacular Caribbean architecture. Much of the action at any Six Senses revolves around the spa, and this one is particularly charming, with design that nods to traditional fishing villages and treatments that incorporate cinnamon and nutmeg—this is the Spice Isle, after all. The on-site restaurants move beyond resort menu cliches in favor of Grenadan ingredients and preparations, such as local spiny lobster, conch ceviche and family-style mahi mahi with fixings including cassava, breadfruit, okra, sea moss and plantain. Food lovers can also plan tours of a chocolate factory and rum distillery (including a tasting), visits to an organic farm and workshops with area cacao farmers.
InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa
Dominica
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Set on the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, the InterContinental Dominica understood the assignment. The laid-back resort borders the stunning Cabrits National Park, a protected area that spans 1,313 acres and contains tropical jungle, bird-filled wetlands, coral reefs and a historic fort. Guest rooms at the resort pair dark wood furnishings with blue and green accents that reflect the sea and forested hills outside, and some suite types include private pools and outdoor showers or bathtubs. The Kwéyòl Restaurant sources vegetables and herbs from the on-site organic orchard and seafood from area fishermen, while the Rumfire Bar is the place to go for cocktails made with locally distilled spirits. In 2026, the property will launch a 105-berth marina offering yacht access for guests hoping to truly arrive in style.
Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa
Turks & Caicos
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
One of the sleepier islands in the Turks and Caicos chain, South Caicos recently welcomed this member of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, comprising 100 oceanfront rooms and suites. Locally inspired details abound: Throughout, the design incorporates regionally sourced materials, such as sisal, coral stone and native woods, while the spa nods to the archipelago’s history of salt-harvesting with treatments like salt scrubs and a salt-stone massage. While it may be tempting to lounge by the pool all day, Salterra has a packed roster of nature tours: a humpback whale migration expedition, scuba dives along the reef; a sea kayak voyage along the coastline; and a guided birdwatching outing on the salt flats, where you’ll see flamingos and other species. Best of all, the sustainability-minded resort (evidenced by its organic-waste composting, solar power and drought-resistant landscaping) is making the island a better place through programs like coral-reef restoration, bird and bonefish conservation and local youth education.
Jade Mountain Resort
St. Lucia
This architectural marvel sits on a cliffside overlooking St. Lucia’s twin volcanic spires, the Pitons. The owner, who is also an architect, kitted out the 29 “sanctuaries” with tropical hardwood, local stone and Barbadian coral finishes—and 24 come with private infinity pools. In each, ceilings soar to 15 feet, and the fourth wall is missing to allow for truly uninterrupted views. Guests at Jade Mountain also enjoy access to sister property Anse Chastanet Resort for even more dining options. The two hotels are separated by more than 2,000 cacao trees, and chocoholics can take part in tours, tastings and truffle-making classes.
GoldenEye
Jamaica
If the name of this Jamaican resort rings a bell, that’s because it’s the former estate of Ian Fleming, who wrote all the James Bond novels here. Set among tropical vegetation, it was also a hideaway for musicians like Sting and Bono for a time. Island Records founder Chris Blackwell eventually acquired the property and added cottages and beach huts to the villas. Skip a Vesper martini and opt instead for rum and jerk barbecue at the Bamboo Bar, and save time for a FieldSpa treatment, which uses flowers, roots, leaves and herbs grown on the resort’s farm.
