Sunset Reef St. Kitts (Rooms at $850 right now)

Sunset Reef St. Kitts occupies a dramatic position above the Caribbean near Trinity Palmetto Point. The boutique property feels closer to a private estate than a conventional resort, with seven suites containing a total of 11 bedrooms.

The rooms have terraces, kitchens, large bathrooms, and broad water views. An infinity pool forms the social center of the property, while a fitness center and in-room or waterside wellness treatments add to the secluded experience. The hotel can also be reserved in its entirety for groups of up to 25 people, making it particularly well suited to family gatherings, celebrations, and private retreats.

Meals are served at Drop Anchor Grill, where menus emphasize seasonal produce and locally sourced ingredients. There is also the sea-facing SandBar and a poolside bar. Sunset Reef works best when you want personal service, minimal crowds, and enough space for a small group to spend several days together in complete privacy.

It’s a hotel we’ve adored since it first opened.
