Top 5 Luxury Hotels in the Caribbean

25/06/13 ᛫ 6 Comments

For most, a trip to to the Caribbean is an indulgence in itself, but if you really fancy pushing the boat out, the Caribbean is a laced with super luxury retreats. So if you’re on the lookout to rub shoulders with elite jet setters, chances are you’ll fancy one of the hotels in my Top 5 Luxury hotels in the Caribbean.

The one fit for the A-List…
St. Barths, Eden Rock

One of the most famous A-List haunts in the French West-Indies, The Eden Rock in St. Barths is the place to go if you want to feel like a rock-star. Most definitely on my luxury hotel bucket list, the Eden Rock Resort offers sumptuous rooms, suites and private villas – all of which come with the most jaw-dropping amenities and stunning views over the bay. And if you fancy doing it properly…as in really properly…there are two uber-deluxe villas on the site that give you a good idea how the A-List Travelistas live (Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Elle MacPherson). Think two private pools per villa, your own butler, your own art gallery and even a Mini Cooper at your disposal!

The Eden Rock in St Barths is internationally known as the ultimate A-List hang out in the Caribbean

The one for workaholics needing to switch off…

St Lucia, Anse Chastanet

For those looking to really get away from it all to an extent most of us mere mortals can’t ever comprehend, Anse Chastanet redefines gorgeous seclusion. You wouldn’t normally expect it from a deluxe resort, but out there you will find no communication technology or devices, which means it’s bye-bye Wi-Fi for a much-needed escape. As a social media and blogging addict, this prospect terrifies me, but I think a stay here would force me to switch off and relax. It’s all about the purest of the pure here and guests find themselves on rough terrain and facing a climb to get to their bespoke wooden hillside rooms. The people at Ane Chastanet believe it’s only by going back to basics like this that you can get a feel of the authentic Caribbean and real island living. More than reason enough to go in my book!

The one for getting active…
British Virgin Islands, Bitter End Yacht Club

No surprises here – sailing is the order of the day at this resort which occupies a stunning plot on the coast of Virgin Gorda. The best thing about this resort is that use of all the smaller craft and windsurfers etc. is included in the price you pay, which makes it the perfect place for anyone with nautical dreams. The ambience is lively, there’s always something going on and there are few better places in the world to take your very first sailing lesson.

The one for pure relaxation and culture vultures…
Anguilla, CuisinArt Resort

Unlike the other humdrum resorts you find scattered around Anguilla and many other Caribbean islands – CuisinArt Resort is quite literally, one big work of art. Rooms are enormous and painted to resemble a clear blue sky, while the exterior of the building will in some areas have you wondering if you’ve been washed on the shores in Greece. The atmosphere is all about laid-back relaxation and guests are lavished with an all-inclusive spa, tons of sports on offer, a staff contingency that just can’t do enough for you and two restaurants supplied by the resort’s own hydroponic farm. I shall say no more!

The one for family-friendly luxury…
Dominican Republic, Paradisus Palma Real

And to finish off with one for the family, this little gem is part of the Melia hotel group and has Leading Hotels of the World status. The Paradisus Palma Real Hotel caters perfectly for families demanding more from their holidays. Even the standard rooms are off-the-scale – featuring a jacuzzi for two, jet showers, flat screen TV, huge balcony and so much more besides. On hand are staff with a proven passion for keeping kids entertained and showing families the time of their life. It’s all about opulence with a family-friendly twist here – a unique find if you ask me.

Who says you have to compromise on luxury with the little ones in tow? Family friendly luxury can be found at the Paradisus Palma

    I’ve been to Anguilla with my family. It was gorgeous. The beaches.. so pristine. We got a great beach house rental while at Anguilla and had the most beautiful to wake up to. Still remember vividly those few days. Only wish such luxury could come more often. Or maybe I don’t want them to. Cause then I might not be able to appreciate them as much. 🙂 Please keep posting more.

I had too many words about 2022 for a caption, so I’ve put them all into a blog post. 

My “2022 year in review” is live on The Travelista. It’s a longer, personal blog post about lessons, learnings, achievements and travels from year just gone, as well as my hopes and goals for 2023. I’ve put a link on stories for anyone interested. 😊

17 destinations across 9 countries. My son stepped foot in 3 new countries and I got to bring him on 6 trips with me, including his first cruise. Wow ♥️

I’m finding a new rhythm for travelling with (and sometimes without) a little one and can’t wait for what’s to come in 2023.

Whether you’re new here or you’ve followed my journey for years, thank you so much for being here, for every like, comment and share. It is this amazing, supportive and loyal community that has enabled me to quit my job this year and return to doing this full time again post Covid.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ♥️.
Before I sign off for a little Christmas social me Before I sign off for a little Christmas social media break, here’s a festive photo dump of the past week + sharing my favourite poem🕯🎄🥂

Featuring 

➕ A lunch to @bettys with the girls. Making a new tradition. 
➕ A family visit to @castle_howard for their spectacular #IntotheWoods Christmas experience. Phenomenal. We go every year and it just gets better and better.
➕ Carols by candlelight at our local church - magic - but so many layers because the heating was broken!
➕ Dust if you Must by Rose Milligan. The perfect tonic in the (potentially stressful) build up to Christmas. 

We are hosting family this year and I’m excited! I’d love my house to look like a festive show home but it doesn’t, and that’s ok. (I have a 4 year old making mess twice as fast as I can tidy it). 

Fellow hosts, don’t be so busy ‘dusting’ that you miss all the little moments of magic! I’m reminding myself of this too. Swipe to read the poem and you’ll get it. ♥️

Wishing you a perfectly imperfect Christmas 🎄 

Love Jess x

We are all feeling the pinch this year with the rising cost of living, so I set myself a challenge to find gifts for under £30. By shopping at outlets like Junction 32, which has over 80 brands offering up to 60% off the retail price, your money truly does go so much further. ♥️

What gifts I bought;

✔️ Slippers from @radleylondon RRP £40 J32 Price £20
✔️Himalayam charcoal gift set from @thebodyshop RRP £36.00 J32 Price £29.50
✔️Wax cheese wheels from independent retailer @themousehouse_lincoln £3 for £16
✔️Children’s cutlery set from @procookuk RRP £10 J32 Price £7

As usual J32 had some brilliant items on offer and a huge amount of choice, even this far into December.

Have you got any last minute Christmas shopping to do? I think I am finally done! 🛍
