The 6 Hottest Luxury Resorts in the Caribbean Right Now, From Turks and Caicos to Curacao 

There are resorts, and then there are destinations within destinations. Places that aren’t just where you stay — they’re why you go. They inspire you. They transport you. They become the trip.

In the Caribbean, where luxury is a way of life, these five properties are setting the tone. They’re remote but accessible, indulgent yet soulful, designed to thrill and soothe in equal measure. They offer something rare: that feeling you get when you arrive somewhere you never want to leave.

These are the Caribbean’s hottest luxury resorts right now, including both EP and all-inclusive luxury options. The choice is yours. 

The Palms, Turks and Caicos 

This is the buzziest luxury resort in the Caribbean right now, and it’s easy to see why. The rooms are grand, capacious and stunning; the service is impeccable; after a recent upgrade, the resort has never looked better, including its stunning new Sisi restaurant and bar (the latter we just called the most beautiful bar in Turks and Caicos). 

Everything here is thoughtful, everything here is well executed. The spa is one of the most striking and impressive in the whole Caribbean. There’s even a great kids’ club. The swim-up bar just might be our favorite anywhere. But it’s also deliciously relaxed, serene, almost therapeutically calm. This feel is off the charts.

And did we mention that it’s on Grace Bay, one of the best beaches in the world? This was already a world-class resort. Now, it’s even better. And that’s a testament to parent company Hartling Group’s impressive commitment to modern, cutting-edge hospitality (which you see at its sister resorts, The Shore Club and The Sands, too).

Galley Bay, Antigua

It’s barefoot luxury, perfectly distilled — and all-inclusive. The kind you feel the moment you step into the powdery sand and hear the surf rushing the reef just offshore.

Galley Bay isn’t a secret — but it still feels like one. Tucked away on Antigua’s secluded west coast, this adults-only escape is all about intimacy and immersion: a long, golden beach, palm-dotted walkways, private cottages, plunge pools, and a rhythm that moves at your pace.

This is where you go when you want to write your own story, not follow someone else’s itinerary. Mornings begin with sea breezes and birdsong. Afternoons drift between rum punches and hammock time. At sunset, the sky puts on a show — and you’ll have front-row seats from your beachfront suite.

Ambergris Cay, Turks and Caicos

Private island. Private flight. Private everything.

Ambergris Cay is more than a resort — it’s an entire island dedicated to you. This is the Turks and Caicos at its most exclusive, a place where the runway is part of the arrival experience and the villas come with your own golf cart and butler.

You’re on a secluded cay just minutes from Providenciales, but it feels like another planet — one where wild donkeys roam, coral reefs glimmer just offshore, and the water doesn’t come in shades of blue, but in a symphony.

Everything here is curated and intentional: the cuisine, the cocktails, the service. But what really makes it special is the freedom — to roam, to relax, to live untethered.

Four Seasons Resort Nevis

This is old-school Caribbean luxury, reimagined for now.

Four Seasons Nevis sits quietly between the foot of Nevis Peak and the wide open sea — a place of refined calm, lush beauty, and a rhythm that belongs entirely to the island. From its luxurious suites and villas to its vast championship golf course, and expansive racquet club, everything here feels effortless.

But it’s the soul of the resort — the mango-sweet air, the friendly Nevisian welcome, the quiet mornings on Pinney’s Beach — that keeps travelers returning year after year. It’s not just a luxury resort. It’s an island state of mind.

Baoase Luxury Resort, Curaçao

There’s luxury, and then there’s Baoase.

It’s sensual. It’s cinematic. It’s a kind of tropical theater where the stage is set with Balinese-style villas, hidden lagoons, orchid-draped walkways, and beachfront dining that rivals anything in the hemisphere.

Baoase doesn’t scream luxury — it whispers it. Every villa is its own private sanctuary, complete with plunge pools, al fresco showers, and just the right touch of island mystique. You’re in Curaçao, but this could be Bali, the Maldives — or nowhere on Earth at all.

This is where you come to disappear — not from the world, but into yourself.

Secret Bay, Dominica

Secret Bay isn’t a resort. It’s a revelation.

This is luxury redefined for the modern traveler — immersive, eco-forward, hyper-personalized, and deeply Dominican. Perched on a jungle-covered cliff on the edge of the island’s untouched north coast, Secret Bay delivers all-villa living with private pools, gourmet kitchens, and treehouse-style architecture that dissolves into the rainforest.

It’s where nature meets nurture: a quiet fusion of volcanic earth, green canopy, and open sky — paired with Michelin-level cuisine, a one-on-one concierge model, and the sort of wellness programming you don’t just book, you believe in.

Secret Bay isn’t just changing Dominica. It’s changing the way we think about Caribbean travel.

The Takeaway

These aren’t just the hottest luxury resorts in the Caribbean — they’re some of the most inspiring places anywhere in the world. They elevate escape into art. They blur the line between resort and reverie.

And once you check in, you may never want to check out.
