Home to white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and striking volcanic landscapes, the Caribbean encompasses everything from Anguilla and Turks & Caicos to the dramatic shores of St Lucia.
Scattered across warm turquoise waters, the Caribbean moves between quiet island hideaways, lively beach towns, rainforest interiors and long stretches of powder-soft sand. From the polished beach clubs of St Barths and the elegant resorts of Anguilla to the volcanic peaks of St Lucia and the rhythm of Jamaica, every island carries its own distinct atmosphere and pace.
Days are shaped by life outdoors, whether sailing between hidden coves, lingering over long beachfront lunches, snorkelling coral reefs or watching the light fade across the sea from a quiet terrace. Elsewhere, rainforest trails, rum distilleries, colourful fishing villages and lively island culture bring depth beyond the shoreline itself.
Accommodation across the Caribbean ranges from intimate beachfront retreats and adults only hideaways to larger resorts, private villas and quietly glamorous hotels overlooking the sea. Some islands feel polished and exclusive, others more relaxed and barefoot, but throughout the region the focus remains on warmth, atmosphere and an effortless sense of escape.
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla rises above Meads Bay with sweeping Caribbean views, contemporary villa-style living and a polished beachfront setting that has established it as one of the island’s most complete luxury resorts. The resort is built into the hillside above the shoreline, cascading down towards the sea through a series of terraces, infinity pools, palm-lined walkways and open-air lounges that constantly frame the water beyond. Its architecture stays clean and contemporary throughout, favouring broad lines, natural stone, timber detailing and expansive glass over anything overtly tropical or decorative. Despite the scale of the property, the layout remains surprisingly open and calm, helped by the spacing between the residences, the elevated positioning above Meads Bay and the uninterrupted views across the bay from almost every public space. There is a residential quality to the resort that feels noticeably different from many Caribbean hotels, particularly around the villa accommodation and shared living areas that give the property a more private, long-stay atmosphere. para-2 Accommodation ranges from spacious ocean-view guestrooms through to expansive multi-bedroom residences, penthouses and beachfront villas designed with full indoor-outdoor living in mind. Floor-to-ceiling glass, oversized terraces and open-plan lounge spaces give even the entry-level categories a strong sense of space, while the higher-tier residences introduce private pools, rooftop terraces and direct oceanfront positioning. The Oceanfront Townhouses and Beachfront Villas are particularly impressive, combining multiple bedrooms with fully residential layouts suited to families or extended stays on the island. Interiors remain restrained and contemporary throughout, using pale woods, soft neutral tones and natural textures that keep the focus firmly on the sea views and surrounding coastline rather than excessive styling. para-3 Dining moves comfortably between refined evening settings and more relaxed beachfront venues, with menus shaped by Caribbean flavours, Mediterranean influences and Asian-inspired dishes alongside fresh seafood and lighter daytime options. Restaurants and bars are spread naturally across the estate, allowing each venue to carry its own atmosphere rather than blending into a single central dining space. Long lunches beside the beach flow easily into sunset cocktails overlooking Meads Bay, while evening dining takes on a more polished pace without ever losing the relaxed character of Anguilla itself. The resort handles this balance particularly well, delivering the service and consistency expected of Four Seasons while still feeling connected to the slower rhythm of island life. para-4 Three swimming pools form the centre of the resort’s social spaces, including dedicated family areas and quieter infinity-edge pools positioned towards the sea. Direct access onto Meads Bay places guests immediately onto one of Anguilla’s finest stretches of sand, while snorkelling, paddleboarding, diving and other watersports remain a constant part of daily life around the resort. Tennis courts, a children’s water play area and a well-run kids’ club give the property genuine family appeal, though couples are equally well catered for thanks to the generous scale of the grounds and the quieter adult-focused spaces spread throughout the estate. Even during busier periods, the resort retains a composed atmosphere rather than feeling crowded or over-programmed. para-5 The spa introduces a quieter side to the resort, with treatment rooms, relaxation spaces and wellness facilities positioned away from the main activity areas overlooking the coastline. Treatments range from restorative massage therapies through to body rituals and beauty treatments, complemented by yoga sessions, fitness classes and a well-equipped gym. Wellness is integrated naturally into the wider rhythm of the resort rather than treated as a separate destination in itself, whether through morning yoga overlooking the sea, time spent between the pools and beach or slower afternoons within the spa facilities. The elevated setting and constant ocean views give even the fitness and wellness spaces a notably calmer atmosphere. para-6 Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla occupies a prime position above Meads Bay on the island’s west coast, approximately 15 minutes from Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport and within easy reach of Anguilla’s leading restaurants and beach bars. Its elevated location gives the resort some of the broadest coastal views anywhere on the island while still maintaining direct access to the beach below.
From £880 per night
Carlisle Bay, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, occupies one of Antigua's most beautiful bays where a long sweep of white sand meets protected turquoise waters and rainforest covered hills on the island's quieter south coast. The setting shapes almost every aspect of a stay here. Unlike many Caribbean resorts built around manicured grounds or dramatic clifftops, Carlisle Bay feels anchored within its natural surroundings. The bay curves gently around the resort, creating a broad beachfront that remains the focal point throughout, while the rainforest rises directly behind. Accommodation, restaurants and leisure facilities are arranged along the shoreline rather than concentrated around a central hub, giving the resort an easy sense of space and allowing guests to move naturally between beach, suite and dining venues without ever feeling crowded. Contemporary in style yet unmistakably Caribbean in character, the resort favours wide open spaces, natural light and a relaxed elegance that has aged exceptionally well. Large terraces, covered walkways and open sided public areas ensure the sea is rarely out of sight, while the atmosphere remains calm, refined and refreshingly understated. para-2 All 87 suites face the beach and Caribbean Sea, a rarity even amongst Antigua's leading resorts. The entry level Garden Suites offer generous proportions and direct access to the resort grounds, while Ocean Suites place guests closer to the shoreline with uninterrupted sea views from expansive living spaces and terraces. Families are particularly well served by the Bay Suites and two bedroom Beach Terrace and Beach Balcony Suites, which provide substantial indoor and outdoor living areas. At the top of the collection, the Carlisle Suites deliver some of the most impressive accommodation on the island, combining multiple bedrooms, large entertaining spaces and expansive beachfront terraces that make them feel more like private residences than hotel suites. para-3 Four restaurants and several bars give Carlisle Bay a breadth of dining that comfortably supports longer stays. Indigo sits at the heart of the resort, serving Mediterranean inspired dishes throughout the day in a relaxed beachfront setting, while Ottimo focuses on Italian cuisine with fresh pastas and classic regional favourites. East introduces Asian flavours and a more intimate atmosphere, whilst The Jetty provides the resort's signature dining experience, positioned directly beside the water and specialising in seafood and grilled dishes. Together the restaurants create genuine variety rather than repetition, allowing guests to move between casual lunches, family dinners and more sophisticated evening dining throughout their stay. para-4 The beach remains central to daily life, with calm waters ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing. Beyond the shoreline, Carlisle Bay offers five tennis courts, two pickleball courts, a well equipped fitness centre and a broad programme of activities ranging from hiking trails in the surrounding rainforest to boat excursions exploring Antigua's coastline. Families are exceptionally well catered for through dedicated children's facilities, while adults can easily find quieter corners of the resort to relax. The result is a property that manages to appeal to couples, families and multi generational groups without compromising the experience for any of them. para-5 CARA Organic Spa provides a dedicated wellness space within a quieter area of the resort. Treatments draw on natural and organic products, while yoga sessions, personal training and a fully equipped gym complement the spa facilities. The surrounding rainforest setting adds a welcome sense of privacy and separation from the beach, creating a distinctly different atmosphere for relaxation and wellbeing. para-6 Carlisle Bay is located on Antigua's southwest coast, approximately 40 minutes from VC Bird International Airport. English Harbour, Nelson's Dockyard and many of the island's historic attractions are within easy reach, while the resort's position on one of Antigua's most secluded bays allows it to feel considerably more remote than the journey time suggests.
From £435 per night
Cap Juluca unfolds along the brilliant white curve of Maundays Bay, where Moorish-inspired villas, calm turquoise water and one of Anguilla’s most celebrated beaches create a quietly glamorous Caribbean stay with unmistakable identity. There is an immediate sense of arrival here that feels entirely its own, from the line of white domes rising above the palms to the arched walkways, courtyards and lantern-lit pathways running down towards the beach. The resort carries the symmetry and elegance of Mediterranean architecture without ever feeling formal, balancing polished design with the openness and ease expected of Anguilla itself. Public spaces remain intentionally low-key and beautifully proportioned, allowing the beach and sea to dominate almost every view across the property. Interiors stay light and restrained throughout, with soft white tones, limestone, dark woods and woven textures giving the resort a clean, timeless feel rather than anything overtly decorative or trend-driven. para-2 Accommodation sits directly along the shoreline in a collection of beachfront rooms, suites and private residences, many with uninterrupted sea views and terraces opening almost directly onto the sand. The Beachfront Junior Suites remain among the most sought-after categories, pairing oversized bathrooms and airy bedroom spaces with shaded outdoor living areas positioned just steps from Maundays Bay. The larger One Bedroom Beachfront Suites introduce a more residential feel, adding separate lounge areas and broader terraces that suit longer stays particularly well. Across all room categories, the atmosphere remains calm and understated, with high ceilings, crisp white finishes and natural materials reflecting the light and colour of the bay from morning through to sunset. para-3 Dining at Cap Juluca feels deliberately varied without losing the relaxed rhythm of the resort, with each restaurant carrying its own distinct setting and character. Pimms remains the signature address for dinner, serving refined Caribbean cuisine beneath vaulted ceilings with views stretching across the water, while Cip’s by Cipriani brings a more classic Italian approach with polished service and familiar Cipriani dishes beside the sea. Uchu introduces Peruvian flavours and a livelier evening atmosphere through ceviche, grilled seafood and Nikkei-inspired plates, while The Cap Shack keeps things casual directly on the beach with rum punches, fresh fish and long lunches in the sand. Even with several venues across the resort, dining never feels over-produced or overly busy, retaining the relaxed confidence that has long defined Cap Juluca itself. para-4 Life here revolves naturally around Maundays Bay, widely regarded as one of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, where calm water and powder-soft sand shape the pace of each day. Complimentary sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkelling bring gentle activity onto the water, while tennis courts, cycling and nearby championship golf offer further variety beyond the shoreline. Despite its reputation and long-established status on the island, the atmosphere remains remarkably peaceful, particularly away from the main pool during the quieter hours of the day. Guests drift easily between beach loungers, shaded terraces and slow afternoons by the water, giving the resort a sense of ease that feels increasingly rare among larger luxury Caribbean properties. para-5 The spa continues the resort’s quieter, restorative side with treatment rooms positioned within serene garden surroundings and a wellness programme centred around massage, body therapies and holistic treatments. Yoga classes and fitness sessions are available throughout the week, while the beachfront setting itself becomes part of the wider sense of wellbeing that defines the property. The fitness facilities are discreetly integrated into the resort rather than dominating it, allowing wellness to feel naturally connected to the slower rhythm of island life. Mornings here are just as likely to begin with a walk along Maundays Bay as they are with a scheduled class or treatment. para-6 Cap Juluca occupies one of the most coveted stretches of coastline on Anguilla’s south-west shore, approximately 13 kilometres from Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport and within easy reach of the island’s ferry connections to St. Martin.
From £915 per night
Jumby Bay Island, part of Oetker Collection, occupies its own 300 acre private island off the coast of Antigua, delivering one of the Caribbean's most exclusive resort experiences where the pace of life is defined entirely by the sea, the landscape and the privilege of space. Arrival is by private boat, and from the moment Antigua slips from view the atmosphere changes. There are no cars, no crowds and no sense of urgency. The island unfolds through a network of sandy paths and cycling trails that connect beaches, cottages, restaurants and residences hidden amongst mature tropical gardens. Long stretches of white sand curve around the coastline, while open lawns, palms and native vegetation create a setting that feels established and natural rather than engineered for tourism. What makes Jumby Bay distinctive is not spectacle but restraint. The island has been carefully developed to preserve its character, with accommodation spread across the landscape rather than concentrated into a central resort complex. Guests are free to explore the island by bicycle, discovering quiet beaches, hidden corners and uninterrupted views that reinforce the feeling of having escaped somewhere genuinely private. para-2 The accommodation consists of just 40 rooms and suites alongside a collection of individually owned residences and cottages. Interiors are bright, elegant and residential in character, drawing inspiration from classic Caribbean living with generous indoor and outdoor space, high ceilings and wide verandas designed for life in the warm island climate. Ocean Cottages occupy some of the island's most desirable positions close to the shoreline, while Pool Cottages and Plunge Pool Cottages offer additional privacy and outdoor living space. The larger residences provide a more secluded retreat still, combining extensive accommodation with private pools, dedicated service and direct access to some of the island's most beautiful beachfront locations. para-3 Dining is a central part of the Jumby Bay experience, with three principal restaurants offering very different settings across the island. Veranda provides relaxed all day dining close to the beach, while The Sand Bar pairs Caribbean flavours and fresh seafood with one of the finest waterfront locations on the island. The Estate House, set within a beautifully restored plantation house, delivers the resort's signature dining experience and remains one of Antigua's most celebrated restaurant settings. Menus draw heavily on local produce and the surrounding waters, while private dining experiences can be arranged across the island for guests seeking something more intimate. Whether dining by the beach or beneath the historic arches of The Estate House, the emphasis remains firmly on place and atmosphere. para-4 Life on Jumby Bay revolves around the island itself. Guests spend their days moving between beaches, pools and shaded terraces, often by bicycle, with the freedom to explore at their own pace. Watersports, sailing, paddleboarding and kayaking make full use of the surrounding Caribbean waters, while tennis courts, fitness facilities and organised island activities provide additional variety. The island's size creates opportunities rarely found elsewhere in the Caribbean. It is entirely possible to find a stretch of beach to yourself, cycle through tropical landscapes without seeing another guest, or spend an afternoon watching the sea from a quiet corner of the shoreline. para-5 The Jumby Bay Spa occupies a peaceful part of the island where treatment rooms are positioned amongst tropical gardens away from the resort's social spaces. A menu of wellness therapies, massages and beauty treatments is complemented by fitness facilities and yoga sessions that reflect the island's calm and unhurried rhythm. para-6 Located just two miles from Antigua, Jumby Bay is reached by a short private boat transfer from VC Bird International Airport. The journey takes only minutes, yet the island feels entirely separate from the mainland, creating a level of privacy that has attracted discerning Caribbean travellers for decades.
From £2060 per night
Blue Waters Resort & Spa occupies a privileged stretch of Antigua's northwest coastline, where secluded coves, mature tropical gardens and a long established reputation for warm Caribbean hospitality create one of the island's most enduring luxury resorts. Spread across 17 acres of landscaped grounds, the resort feels established in a way that many newer Caribbean properties cannot replicate. Palm lined pathways lead between gardens, pools, restaurants and hidden beaches, while the coastline reveals a series of intimate coves that provide a greater sense of privacy than the broad expanses of sand found elsewhere on the island. The layout encourages guests to wander, with each part of the estate offering a slightly different perspective of the Caribbean Sea. Despite its size, Blue Waters retains an intimate atmosphere. Longstanding ownership and decades of careful evolution have shaped a resort that feels comfortable in its surroundings rather than overly polished or theatrical. The result is a property that appeals equally to couples seeking a quieter Caribbean escape and families looking for space, facilities and a relaxed pace of life. para-2 Accommodation is positioned throughout the estate, from rooms and suites set amongst the gardens to some of Antigua's most desirable beachfront addresses. Deluxe Beachfront Rooms place the sea directly outside the door, while the Hillside Suites and Hillside Luxury Suites enjoy elevated positions overlooking the grounds. The Cove Suites represent some of the resort's most sought after accommodation, occupying a more secluded section of the coastline with direct access to a quiet beach. Luxury Suites introduce additional indoor and outdoor living space, while the Cove Penthouse provides a residential style experience with expansive terraces and uninterrupted sea views. para-3 Dining is centred around three restaurants and several bars, each taking advantage of a different setting across the resort. The Palm Restaurant serves breakfast and evening dining in an open air environment overlooking the water, while The Reef provides a more relaxed beachfront option for lunches and lighter meals throughout the day. The Cove Restaurant remains the culinary focal point of the resort. Positioned dramatically above the shoreline, it specialises in French inspired cuisine and enjoys some of the finest dining views on Antigua. Elsewhere, the Pelican Bar and additional lounges provide relaxed settings for cocktails, afternoon drinks and evening gatherings beside the sea. para-4 Blue Waters offers two beaches and seven freshwater pools spread throughout the grounds, allowing guests to choose between lively social areas and quieter corners hidden amongst the gardens. The coastline is ideal for swimming, while complimentary watersports, snorkelling, kayaking and windsurfing provide opportunities to explore the bay. Tennis courts, a modern fitness centre and a varied programme of activities cater to more active guests, while boat excursions, fishing trips and island tours allow visitors to discover more of Antigua beyond the resort. For many guests, however, the greatest luxury is simply spending the day between beach, pool and shaded terrace with nowhere particular to be. para-5 The Elemis Spa occupies one of the most peaceful positions within the resort and combines treatment rooms with panoramic sea views, a beauty salon and a comprehensive wellness programme. Massage therapies, facials, body treatments, yoga sessions and fitness classes are complemented by a well equipped gym, creating a wellness offering that comfortably exceeds expectations for a resort of this scale. para-6 Located close to St John's on Antigua's northwest coast, Blue Waters is approximately 15 minutes from VC Bird International Airport. The convenient location allows guests to arrive quickly while still enjoying the privacy and tranquillity of a resort that feels removed from the island's busier areas.
From £315 per night

Set across an expansive stretch of Antigua’s west coast, Hawksbill Resort is an adults-only all-inclusive retreat defined by its unspoiled setting and four distinct beaches. Spread over acres of tropical gardens and natural coastline, the property feels open and unstructured, with a quieter, more traditional Caribbean atmosphere shaped by its surroundings rather than overt design. The layout follows the natural contours of the land, with low-rise buildings and bungalows positioned among greenery and along the shoreline. The architecture is simple and functional, with a focus on space, light, and ease of access to the beach, allowing the landscape and sea to remain the defining features throughout the resort. para-2 The 111 rooms and bungalows are understated in style, with a focus on comfort and practicality rather than embellishment. Each includes a private patio or balcony with garden or sea views, alongside air conditioning, mini-fridges, and coffee facilities. The absence of televisions reinforces the slower pace, with interiors designed to complement the relaxed, unplugged setting. para-3 Dining is centred around a selection of open-air venues, including Tamarind Tree, Sea Grape Bar & Grill, and Il Vigento Su Mare. Menus combine buffet and à la carte options, with a focus on local dishes and straightforward international fare, served in settings that range from beachfront to elevated positions overlooking the water. para-4 The four beaches provide variety, from broader stretches of sand to more secluded coves, including Eden Beach.
