These Caribbean Hotels Are Barefoot Luxury in Resort Form

View in browser | Manage Preferences Barefoot Luxury in the Caribbean Beaches are great all over the world, but let’s be honest—Caribbean sand just hits a little bit different. Summer is all about fun in the sun, and there’s perhaps nowhere better on earth to soak in that sweet, sweet vitamin D than on an island, and preferably one surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. That’s why we figured now would be a great time to share a few of our favorite hotels and resorts across St. Barts, Turks and Caicos, Costa Rica, the British Virgin Islands, and more beachy backwaters. Grab your chicest resortwear and the nearest tube of sunscreen—we’ve found exactly where you’re going to want to waste away your summer Fridays. Where to Stay Windjammer Landing Resort & Residences If St. Lucia has been on your bucket list, Windjammer Landing needs to be on your radar. On 65 lush acres along Labrelotte Bay, the peaceful five-star resort has been beloved by luxury travelers and even celebrities for over 30 years—and a $12 million refresh in 2023 has made it one of the most sought-after spots in the Caribbean. Offering both hillside and oceanside villas and spectacular outdoor experiences, it's perfect for a honeymoon, girls trip, or some well-deserved solo R&R. BOOK NOW Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa St. Barts has perhaps never been more popular than it is right now, and Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa is a fabulous place to stay if you want to experience all the island has to offer while still being afforded the utmost privacy. The boutique spa hotel sits along a reef-protected bay just begging to be jumped in, and the polished yet carefree vibes are ideal for anyone that wants to relax in style. Travel writer Lauren Harano loves the property so much, she's visited three times and counting, and told us all about it for our Rebooked series. BOOK NOW Hacienda AltaGracia If a private villa with a plunge pool in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle tickles your fancy, Hacienda AltaGracia, an Auberge Collection hotel, is calling your name. Known for its world-class spa, fabulous dining options, and impeccable design, you might end up leaving a different person than you came. Just ask wellness writer Mary Honkus, who left forever changed after a visit to the spa's Estée Lauder Skin Longevity Institute.
