Just after Labor Day, the fantasy returns: travelers begin plotting their Caribbean winter escapes, dreaming of that next unforgettable island vacation. 

And for most frequent Caribbean travelers, particularly families, it’s hard to beat a villa vacation, with the combination of space, comfort, privacy and amenities in some of the region’s most sought-after vacations. 

And just in time, leading Caribbean villa provider WIMCO has released its annual list of the top 10 best new villas in the Caribbean, from luxury destinations like St Barth to private-island sanctuaries like Moskito Island. 

“This year’s top 10 list includes a stunning modern villa in St Barts within walking distance of some of the best restaurants in the Caribbean, as well as two villas directly on the beach that’s regularly named the best in the Caribbean” says Stiles Bennet, WIMCO’s president. “We also feature an extraordinary new villa on a private island in the BVI, where the local staff will take care of your every need”.

Here are WIMCO’s favorite new villas for the upcoming winter season. 

Villa Embrace, St Barth This villa “hovering” over Gustavia harbor is just steps from celebrated eateries like L’atelier de Joel Robuchon and Bonito. WIMCO says it just might be the most stunning villa in the Caribbean. It’s part of the company’s new Special Reserve Collection, which includes perks like private chef service.
