3. Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel
Occupying 8 acres of tropical greenery, Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel boasts 30 suites arranged in a horseshoe shape, each facing the secluded L’Anse aux Epines beach on the southwestern end of Grenada. All rooms feature Elemis Skincare bathroom amenities, complimentary internet access and balconies or patios (where breakfast is served by a personal maid). Recent guests cited the breakfast delivery as one of the reasons they’ll continue to frequent this Relais & Châteaux outpost. Offering even more individualized pampering, the open-air Spa at Calabash tailors each treatment to your personal needs. When you’re feeling refreshed, enjoy L’Anse aux Epines’ waters on a paddleboard or a Hobie Cat sailboat, or schedule a tour with the hotel’s ScubaTech Dive Center. If you prefer to stay on land, perfect your backhand at the two on-site tennis courts or sign up for a private yoga lesson.
4. The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico
Luxury is the name of The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort’s game. Occupying a former coconut plantation along Bahia’s shoreline in northeastern Puerto Rico, this property boasts 100-foot palms and enviable beach access. Accommodations feature beamed ceilings, private terraces or balconies, minibars, butler service and Wi-Fi access (which is part of the $99 daily resort fee). To get the lay of the land, travelers recommend venturing outside your gorgeous room or suite to check out the flowing fairways of the Robert Trent Jones Jr. Golf Course and the resort’s expansive seaside pool. If you’re looking for more action, a concierge can help you arrange hiking, biking and water expeditions. Or, you can unwind with a massage or body scrub at the spa. When hunger sets in, dine on bistro cuisine at the poolside Seagrapes Restaurant or fresh Mediterranean fare at the Paros Restaurant. Guests caution that a stay here will cost a pretty penny, but thanks to St. Regis’ Marriott connection, Marriott Bonvoy members can use points to cover the cost of their rooms.
