Still daydreaming about an island getaway? Travel writer @katherineparkermagyar continues our #HAPBoutiqueCaribbean series with the most luxe boutique hotels in the West Indies. 🏝
Fort Young Hotel (Roseau, Dominica):
Explore the "Nature Island" of the Caribbean at Fort Young Hotel; a seaside property tucked against a cliff in the nation's capital of Roseau. The pool overlooks the ocean, offering a taste of the Amalfi Coast along the Caribbean Sea—although the delectable cuisine (and the steel drum band at sunset) leaves no doubt you're in the West Indies. Sign up for adventurous excursions to explore the island's volcanic valleys, rushing waterfalls, and tropical rainforests.
Compass Point Beach Resort (Nassau, Bahamas):
There's so much more to Nassau than all-inclusive resorts and Senor Frogs: Discover a different side of paradise at Compass Point Beach Resort, a boutique property on the northern coast of New Providence. Book a colorful seaside hut for a thoroughly unique getaway in the Bahamian capital—and prepare to be inspired.
Carlisle Bay (Saint Mary Parish, Antigua):
Escape to your own secluded paradise on the south coast of Antigua at the 5-star Carlisle Bay Resort. The boutique property is surrounded by lush rainforests and boasts a private beach overlooking the glistening turquoise sea. The resort's elegance commingles with the warm Caribbean hospitality, offering an unparalleled level of tropical luxury.
The House Barbados (St. James, Barbados):
Barbados is famous for its hospitality—think of it the Switzerland of the Caribbean, albeit considerably more laid-back. (And Bajan charm is a legendary thing—look no further than Rihanna). The House exemplifies the welcoming yet sophisticated ambiance of the island itself, boasting gorgeous vistas overlooking Payne's Bay. Consider the 34-room, adults-only property the ultimate home-away-from-home on the Caribbean Sea.
