Palm-fringed beaches, turquoise waters teeming with marine life, emerald forests and abundant sunshine — the Caribbean is about as close to paradise as it gets.
This otherworldly mosaic of more than 700 islands — each with its own cultural influences, rhythms and tropical adventures — truly has something to offer every kind of traveler. Unsurprisingly, the region is also home to some of the world’s most iconic, luxurious, eye-wateringly beautiful places to stay. There are also many unique lodging options, including properties with swim-up rooms and even a Disney hotel.
This list includes an ultra-luxurious designer haven in Turks and Caicos, a Bahamian grand dame with gardens inspired by Versailles, the oceanfront villa that James Bond author Ian Fleming once called home and a glamorous hideaway on St. Barts. Each hotel stands out for its dreamy setting, exceptional amenities and impeccable service. Most of all, though, each property has its own distinct story to tell.
Here are TPG’s favorite resorts in the Caribbean to visit in 2023.
Malliouhana
Meads Bay, Anguilla
Best for: Couples, families and solo travelers looking for an intimate, peaceful retreat focused on wellness, locally inspired cuisine and curated experiences.
Why stay here: Overlooking Anguilla’s finest white-sand beach, Malliouhana combines timeless elegance with a contemporary Caribbean vibe.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits.
Credited with putting Anguilla on the map in the ’80s and burnishing the island’s reputation as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, Malliouhana’s breathtaking ocean views and haute cuisine continue to lure A-listers and glitterati.
As part of a massive renovation in 2015, the property’s classic British styling was infused with art deco flourishes to create a contemporary Caribbean aesthetic.
Spacious, light-filled rooms and suites (starting at 775 square feet) are painted in vibrant hues of blue and yellow. They’re outfitted with white lacquered four-poster beds and tropical paintings by Haitian artist Jasmin Joseph. Large furnished terraces embrace the hotel’s prevailing indoor-outdoor ethos.
Sip cocktails by the two-tiered infinity pool, relax on the white sands of Meads Bay, snorkel in crystalline waters, play tennis or join a beachfront yoga class. From every angle, the scenery is spectacular.
The hotel’s culinary credentials remain impeccable. At the oceanfront Celeste, expect to feast on local delicacies, such as grilled Anguilla lobster ($72) or pot-roasted mahi-mahi with a vegetable curry ($48).

Gustavia, St. Barts
Best for: Fashion-conscious couples looking for a sophisticated retreat steps from one of the world’s most famous stretches of sand, Shell Beach.
Why stay here: Meticulously reimagined, this iconic property combines French elegance with a superb location overlooking the tony port town of Gustavia.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits.
A perfect marriage of French flair and Caribbean mystique, St. Barts is devoted to the finer things in life. As part of the French West Indies, it’s legally (and spiritually) French. Picture charming cobblestone streets dotted with gourmet restaurants, designer shopping boutiques (duty-free) and small, intimately scaled hotels hinged on a certain singular charm and elegance. You’ll see plenty of megayachts shimmering in the port but notice a lack of generic, supersized resorts.
Cool and classy, the 21-key Hotel Barriere Le Carl Gustaf — part of the luxe French hotel brand Barriere — embodies the essence of St. Barts. Rooms, suites and bungalow suites (with plunge pools) are effortlessly chic; they feature wooden furnishings, a light color palette and large bathrooms with tropical wooden accents and cream marble vanities. Furnished terraces (up to 590 square feet) overlook Gustavia’s glamorous marina and one of the Caribbean’s most enchanting stretches of coastline, where guests convene at the hotel’s private, scene-setting Shellona Beach Club.

Rates from $969 per night.
Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Dorado, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico’s most exclusive resort, Dorado Beach, bears all the hallmarks of the Ritz-Carlton Reserve brand: unbridled luxury, exclusivity, eco-conscious sensibilities and flawless service.
Originally built by the Rockefeller family in the 1950s, this opulent property is as rich in history as in design. With a spectacular location overlooking a pristine 2-mile beach, it remains a magnet for tycoons and celebrities.
Stylish rooms start at 941 square feet and feature natural woods, marble, local artworks and expansive outdoor living spaces (deluxe suites have private plunge pools). Discreetly nestled among the vegetation, accommodations afford guests plenty of privacy as well as every creature comfort they could possibly desire. Guests also receive bespoke service from a private embajador, or personal butler.
As you’d expect, the resort’s amenities are exceptional. The epicurean food and beverage program includes Coa, which pays tribute to the region’s Taino roots, and La Cava, the largest wine cellar in the Caribbean.

You’ll also find two gorgeous pools fronted by swaying palms, a state-of-the-art fitness center and three Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed golf courses. Little explorers can participate in Ritz-Carlton’s signature Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment program and enjoy wholesome children’s menus. Parents can unplug and indulge at the Spa Botanico with holistic treatments incorporating indigenous ingredients. Treatments occur in open-air treatment rooms scattered throughout the forest.

Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts
Shoal Bay East, Anguilla
Best for: A tranquil stay just steps from the Caribbean Sea.
Why stay here: At Zemi Beach House, you can unplug and unwind in the pool, on the beach or at the Thai-style spa.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits such as on-property credits, or through Hilton using cash or Hilton Honors points.
Spanning 6 acres of Anguilla’s idyllic Atlantic coastline (with direct access to the sugary white sands of famed Shoal Bay Beach), the 76-key Zemi Beach House is a boutique haven with imaginative programming, fine food and excellent amenities.
Part of Hilton’s fledgling luxury brand LXR, the hotel’s modern rooms and suites are the epitome of Caribbean chic. They feature spare wood and wicker furnishings accompanied by beds dressed in crisp white linens. It’s the eclectic bathrooms that really stand out here, with walk-in glass showers, stone sinks, copper piping and luxurious soaking tubs.
The resort never feels crowded thanks to the modest room count and surplus of amenities, including four outdoor pools, a tennis court and a fitness center with a yoga platform. Children ages 4 to 12 can partake in island-themed activities such as mermaid classes and coconut bowling at the kids club.
Water sports enthusiasts should note that the water here can sometimes be too rough to use the complimentary kayaks, paddleboards and snorkeling gear — a drawback of its location on the island’s Atlantic side.
At each of the five restaurants, breeze-cooled diners delight in heavenly ocean views and menus that showcase local produce and seasonal ingredients. The main restaurant, 20 Knots, specializes in Caribbean fusion dishes with plenty of seafood options.
The lavish spa sits inside a 300-year-old authentic Thai house complete with a hammam and mud deck. Should you choose to indulge, an 80-minute Balinese massage will set you back $240.
Rates start at $594 or 110,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Why stay here: A chic, intimately scaled all-suite hotel nestled on a blissfully under-the-radar, but accessible, Caribbean island.

A tiny speck of an island with jungle-fringed white-sand beaches, lush mountains and brilliant blue waters, Canouan has become more accessible over recent years thanks to improved infrastructure and a clutch of new hotels. One of these is the sumptuous Mandarin Oriental, which debuted on the pristine sands of Godahl Beach in 2019.
Formerly the Pink Sands Club, this exclusive, Italian-inspired resort is a secluded hideaway for couples and families — not to mention a fair few celebrity guests.
Discreetly tucked into the forested hillside, the 26 lavish suites and 13 villas sport marble bathrooms and expansive indoor-outside living spaces with ocean views. Many also have private terraces with infinity pools.
The focus on impeccable service and curated experiences, however, is what distinguishes this property. As part of the property’s Castaway experience, guests can sail away at sunset to enjoy private, romantic dining under star-studded skies on nearby Tobago Cays or Mayreau Island. They can also relax with treatments from their own massage therapist.
Private butlers can arrange kite surfing, guided hiking tours, private catamaran tours, snorkeling excursions and day trips to Mustique. They can also book signature spa treatments, such as a 90-minute Oriental Qi ($300) massage with essential oils.
Rates from $1,800 per night for a one-bedroom ocean-view suite.

Highly rated dining venues include Great House, which serves an expansive breakfast buffet, and the waterfront Fisherman’s Village, the hotel’s dedicated seafood restaurant. Meanwhile, the adults-only Stone Barn specializes in farm- and sea-to-table cuisine.
Two large, beautifully designed pools (one of which is adults-only) are surrounded by plush loungers. They are the perfect places to relax with a cocktail in hand and soak up the captivating views of St. Kitts’ sister island, Nevis.
Active types can dabble in complimentary nonmotorized water sports, such as snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding. Wellness seekers can head to the Sugar Mill Spa & Sanctuary, which takes a holistic approach to self-care with “intention-based” healing treatments, guided journeys, and yoga and meditation classes.

Rosewood Little Dix Bay
Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

Why stay here: Fresh from a lengthy renovation, the Rosewood Little Dix Bay sports sumptuous decor, stylish quarters and haute Caribbean cuisine.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits.
This stunning Rosewood outpost spans 500 acres of rolling forested hills and spills onto a gorgeous arc of palm-fringed white sand. The property has once again raised the bar for Caribbean glamour following an extensive four-year rebuild that stayed true to the vision of Laurance Rockefeller (who built the original resort in 1964).
Inviting, light-filled beach cottages and treehouses are tastefully appointed with midcentury modern furnishings and tropical accents that give off breezy Caribbean vibes. Bathrooms feature rain showerheads, mosaic-tiled double vanities and light wooden accents. Spacious furnished terraces channel the property’s prevailing indoor-outdoor ethos and afford dreamy ocean views.
If you can drag yourself away from the tranquil beach or lushly landscaped pools, you can arrange superb snorkeling and an array of on-the-water activities at the activities hub. Sense, a Rosewood Spa, offers restorative spa treatments, rejuvenating mind-body experiences, fitness classes and outdoor activities.
As expected, the hotel’s dining options are exceptional, showcasing sustainable local seafood and fresh produce sourced from the on-site organic garden.
Start the evening with a Cantaritos cocktail made from tequila, orange juice, pink grapefruit juice, lime juice and grapefruit soda ($22). Then, graze on tapas and sashimi oceanside at the Sugar Mill.

Ocean-view cottages start at $1,035 per night.
GoldenEye
Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica
Best for: Steeped in literary and musical lore, GoldenEye is an inspired setting for artistic types and travelers looking for a hip but welcoming retreat.
Why stay here: From the luxurious villa which James Bond author Ian Fleming once called home to the swim-up spa and Technicolor-blue ocean views, island living doesn’t get much better than this.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits.
Overlooking a dazzling blue lagoon in Oracabessa, 20 minutes from Ocho Rios, GoldenEye is part of Jamaican lore. It’s also one of the island’s most authentic and beloved boutique properties.
Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, penned 12 novels at his GoldenEye villa, which he built in 1946. Following his death in 1967, it was sold to Bob Marley. Shortly thereafter, Chris Blackwell, the record producer who founded Island Records, purchased it. He still owns the 52-acre resort, and it forms part of his Island Outpost hotel group.
Artfully designed clusters of cottages, suites and beach villas take their cues from nature. Some have full kitchens, outdoor showers, clawfoot tubs and pavilions that allow easy access to the lagoon or secluded Low Cay Beach. The beach is known for superb snorkeling along its nearby coral reef.
Fleming’s five-bedroom beachfront bungalow, the Fleming Villa, is available to rent (from $7,630 per night). Appointed with original furnishings, including the author’s writing desk, the fully staffed luxury villa has a private pool, beach and garden. Fleming entertained a slew of visiting celebrities and literati (including playwright Noel Coward and actress Katharine Hepburn) at this very villa.
Spend days relaxing by the freshwater infinity pool, dining on authentic Jamaican fare from Bizot Bar or kicking back with potent rum cocktails from Bamboo Bar on Button Beach. You can also swim up to the FieldSpa for a pimento and ginger massage (90 minutes, $210), salt scrub, herbal wrap or meditation session.
Rates from $578 per night.
La Samanna
Baie Longue, Terres Basses, St. Martin
Best for: A secluded, celebrity haunt, La Samanna marries French style with a blissful tropical vibe most suited to couples.
Why stay here: A pristine beach, striking Mediterranean-inspired design, elegant oceanside dining at L’Oursin, and plenty of wellness pursuits and adventures to punctuate lazy days poolside.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits.
A peaceful haven on one of the Caribbean’s most heavily touristed islands, this lavish Belmond outpost blends classic Mediterranean beach glamor with playful tropical vibes.
Fronting St. Martin’s finest and most exclusive beach, the quietly sophisticated property is a magnet for celebrities. They are drawn to its impeccable, art-filled public spaces, breathtaking Caribbean Sea views and chic rooms discreetly spread over low-rise, whitewashed adobe buildings.
The room categories vary in style and size, but all six types are primed for relaxation. A beachy aesthetic prevails with crisp white linens, panoramic ocean views and thoughtful amenities. For families and groups of travelers, there are eight freestanding, luxurious villas (three- and four-bedroom options), which afford an extra level of privacy and feature wraparound terraces and private pools.
Helmed by chef Marcel Ravinand, L’Oursin (one of two exquisite restaurants on the property) fuses French and Creole flavors to create a hyperseasonal menu. Meals are best paired with fine wine from the legendary 15,000-bottle wine cellar.
Wellness seekers will delight in the candlelit spa, nestled among gardens with cascading bougainvillea and towering palms. Two inviting swimming pools and plush private cabanas dot the hotel’s private beachfront.
An array of lifestyle amenities and daily programming — including tennis, yoga, meditation, fitness classes and water sports — appeal to travelers looking for more than just a drop-and-flop vacation. The staff can also arrange private charter sailings between St. Barts and Anguilla, or to the uninhabited island of Tintamarre to snorkel with rare hawksbill turtles and stingrays.
Rooms start at $962 per night, including taxes and fees.
Amanyara
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Best for: Luxury travelers with an unlimited budget.

Best way to book: Book Amanyara directly through the Aman Resorts website for special offers, including all-inclusive package deals. You can also book via American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts and Skylark for extra benefits like a $100 stay credit.
Unfurling along the secluded shores of an 18,000-acre nature reserve on Providenciales, Amanyara is a design lovers haven. Ornamental water features and exuberant tropical vegetation surround the 36 pavilions and 20 villas.
From warm Indonesian wood accents and soaring ceilings to glass-walled indoor-outdoor living spaces and private infinity-edge pools, everything here is designed to promote privacy, comfort and serenity.
The hotel’s natural assets include a milelong white-sand beach lapped by calm, turquoise water and exceptional snorkeling. (Turks and Caicos is widely known as one of the planet’s best snorkeling and diving destinations.) So, there’s plenty to lure you from your palatial sanctuary.
Overlooking the central reflection pond, The Restaurant serves delicacies such as oysters, caviar and sashimi, followed by seasonal Caribbean-inspired entrees like lobster risotto, grouper with puttanesca sauce and grilled whole fish.
Along with four spa pavilions offering a range of holistic therapies and treatments, there’s a comprehensive lineup of daily activities and custom experiences. Options include tennis clinics led by professionals, underwater photography excursions, yoga and meditation classes, and kid-focused activities at the Nature Discovery Centre.
Rooms start at $3,160 per night.
The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas
Paradise Island, Bahamas
Best for: Four Seasons devotees who want an island getaway that doesn’t require long-haul flights.
Why stay here: This resort is classic Caribbean luxury at its best, sitting on a prime stretch of white sand with lush, green lawns, a challenging (but not overly so) golf course, various fine dining restaurants and one of the region’s best spas.
Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits.
This iconic Four Seasons, which opened in 1962, remains something of a rite of passage for luxury seekers visiting Paradise Island. Set on a gorgeous 5-mile beach — a stunning sweep of soft white sand that gently shelves to clear azure waters — there’s an air of refined seclusion, a world apart from the more bustling areas of Nassau.
There are nine room categories, ranging from garden and ocean-view rooms to four-bedroom villas with private infinity pools, a team of butlers and almost 5,000 square feet of living space. All rooms meld a contemporary Bahamian design with classic elegance, led by rich fabrics, inviting colors, spacious furnished terraces and marble-clad bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and mosaic-tiled vanities.
Three pools (including a lagoon-style family pool) are surrounded by 35 acres of Versailles-inspired gardens. Luxurious Balinese-style spa villas provide the setting for innovative, award-winning mind-body rituals and treatments. Not to mention, the Tom Weiskopf-designed Ocean Club Golf Course is one of the region’s finest.
At the resort’s fine dining venue Dune, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten conjures innovative French-Asian cuisine with a Bahamian twist in a beautiful oceanfront dining room. The restaurant serves, perhaps, the best Sunday brunch on the island.
Rates from $1,800 per night.
Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa
Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Best for: Families, thanks to a kids club with lots of programming, an action-packed water park and special family suites complete with bunk beds.

This fun, 266-key hotel is a high-end (but down-to-earth) Grand Cayman property offering a well-rounded Caribbean resort experience.

Rooms and public spaces embrace a laid-back, indoor-outdoor lifestyle concept, with furnished patios, terraces, and ocean views from most rooms. Bright pops of pink and purple, whimsical design accents and thoughtful perks — such as yoga mats, pet amenities and loaner bikes — create a playful, warm ambience.
The resort’s convivial main restaurant, Ave, appeals to both families and couples. It offers creative Mediterranean cuisine served alongside tropical cocktails and views of Seven Mile Beach.
Kids can enjoy daily programming and activities at Camp Seafire, as well as pool slides and a splash zone. Wellness-seeking adults head for the 8,500-square-foot Spa at Seafire, which draws on island-inspired rituals incorporating local ingredients like coconut, tropical fruits and coffee.

An incomparable private-island experience in one of the world’s most breathtaking locations, Jumby Bay Island is a castaway’s dream (the kind of castaway who wants someone to cater to their every whim).
Ringed by powder-soft beaches and coral reefs teeming with marine life, this 300-acre hideaway has plenty to offer families and romantic couples. There are no cars, eyesores or real-world reminders in sight.
The property’s 40 suites, 14 luxury villas and 22 private residences (with large pools) radiate an elegant beach house vibe and sit steps away from spectacular beaches.
The all-inclusive food and beverage program is far from standard all-you-can-eat buffet fare. Wholesome, locally inspired menus feature sustainably sourced fish, seafood and produce. Memorable dining settings include a circa-1830 plantation house, fresh from a $6 million renovation.
While unbridled relaxation is the primary objective for most guests, there’s plenty to occupy adventurous types.
