Karibuni, Pinel Island, St. Martin
Pinel Island, the offshore island off the coast of St. Martin, is one of our favorite places in the Caribbean, thanks to an intoxicating Mediterranean-meets-the-Caribbean ambience, ultra-calm water, stirring views and two terrific beach bars. But this one, run by the Karibuni Lodge on St. Martin, is the best, from the fresh-made piña coladas served in side a pineapple to the fresh seafood. (Oh, and the rose doesn’t hurt, either).
