Single-Island Stays

Luxury travel to the Caribbean Islands offers travelers the chance to kick back and relax in paradise. These islands represent one-stop-shops and fly-and-flop paradises.

Consider St. Lucia with its iconic Piton mountains and therapeutic Sulphur Springs mud baths and waters. Meanwhile, the lush rainforests and stunning beaches invite a diverse range of both adventure and leisure experiences.

Jamaica, on the other hand, boasts an infectious energy, welcoming spirit, and rich culture. Travelers can also explore the famous Dunn’s River Falls and dramatic Blue Mountains as well as relax on the beach.

Then there is Turks & Caicos, an island of pristine beauty and upscale amenities. Marvel at the white sands of Grace Bay Beach and go snorkeling in the world's third-largest barrier reef. All the while, enjoy pampering at some of the best resorts in the Caribbean, such as COMO and Aman. 

Finally, the Dominican Republic has several diverse natural and cultural coast-to-coast experiences. Lounge in on the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana and explore historic Santo Domingo. Then go zip-lining through tropical forests and diving in crystal-clear waters. 

Island-Hopping Havens

Some of the best Caribbean luxury travel experiences mix and match islands for a well-rounded taste. These twin centers represent ideal island combinations. However, island hopping in the Caribbean has no barriers with exclusive air and sea travel options.

Grenada and Dominica pair nicely with St. Lucia for a longer multi-island journey. The Caribbean’s spice island, Grenada’s main highlights include Grand Anse Beach and the fascinating Underwater Sculpture Park. Meanwhile, Dominica plays host to sperm whales all year round, as well as plenty of water sports and scuba diving.

Also consider combining St Barths with Aruba and/or Antigua. St Barths represents the epitome of Caribbean sophistication with its chic ambiance, sandy beaches, and world-class dining. Pair this elegance with the Aruba’s vibrant coral reefs and rugged landscapes in Arikok National Park. Antigua, too, boasts 365 beaches and a rich maritime history, ripe for exploration.

Barbados and St. Vincent & the Grenadines are some of the best Caribbean islands to visit together. Barbados could stand alone with its historic Bridgetown sites, unique Bajan culture, and epic surf waves at Bathsheba. St. Vincent & the Grenadines, on the other hand, comprises a collection of islands. This makes it ideal for sailing through cays, hiking on volcanoes, and unwinding on pristine sands.

An additional twin-island paradise includes the enchanting St. Kitts & Nevis. Travelers can hike through the rainforests of Mount Liamuiga and stroll through the charming streets of Charlestown. They can also unwind on the tranquil beaches of Nevis or explore the historic Brimstone Hill Fortress.

Finally, don’t forget the British Virgin Islands, a stunning string of islands renowned for world-class sailing. Island hopping through its pristine waters is a must for luxury travelers.
