These 12 Caribbean Islands Are Perfect for a Luxury Spring Break Vacation
St Barth
From the moment your Tradewind plane drops over the hill into Gustavia, you understand the tone. The harbor spreads beneath you. The runway hugs the slope. You’ve arrived somewhere distinct.
You settle into long lunches with rosé at beach clubs. You book dinner at Tamarin under the palms. Gustavia fills with yachts by late afternoon. Espresso turns into aperitifs. You drift into the evening.
Many families choose a villa retreat through WIMCO Villas. You wake up to open water views, spend the afternoon between beach and private pool, and end the night with a final drink at Le Ti.
We also love the Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa, where you stay along Grand Cul-de-Sac, where the water remains calm and shallow. The dining at Amis St. Barth carries real culinary credibility. It’s French Caribbean at its most confident — and there’s just a lovely, breezy feel here.
