Staniel Cay, Bahamas
This has long been an outpost for boaters, thanks to its remote location in the Exuma archipelago. But that’s what makes it so impossibly cool. There’s not much on the island itself save for the pilgrimage-worthy Staniel Cay Yacht Club, made up of water’s edge bungalows (some of which come with their own boats) and a bar-restaurant with magnificent seafood. But the real story of the Exumas is the water, so get out and explore the nearby islands, from Thunderball Grotto to the islands of the swimming pigs.
Where to Stay: Staniel Cay Yacht Club.
