The blue cobblestones of Old San Juan are packed long before lunch. At El Yunque National Forest, the sound of waterfalls carries through the trees. Along the west coast in Rincón, surfers paddle out beneath orange evening skies. Puerto Rico has become one of the Caribbean’s most in-demand destinations, and getting there is about to […]
Cushioned double daybeds. Red-and-white parasols planted in the sand. A champagne cart pouring Moët over ice, all afternoon long. That’s the scene at the newest addition to Round Hill Hotel & Villas, the storied Montego Bay resort that has just unveiled an exclusive summer partnership with Maison Moët & Chandon — and it might be […]
The Maya Beach Hotel might be the best boutique value on Belize’s Placencia Peninsula. A small, beachfront boutique hotel on one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in Belize. A villa with its own private pool. Rooms with names like “Flip Flop Palace” and “Dreamsicle House.” And direct walk-out access to the sand. That’s […]
Mexico City is having a major moment — and one of the world’s largest hotel companies wants a piece of it.

Aruba is adding a major new luxury hotel to its lineup on Palm Beach — and it’s one of the most interesting openings the island has seen in years.

There’s a different hotel experience for everyone. Some people love large resorts. Others, all-inclusives. Then there are the travelers who go for something tiny, boutique. The Caribbean is filled with beautiful hospitality options — but some just have that x-factor. That added degree of personality. That singular quality. They feel different, no matter their size. […]
La Sagesse is the kind of beach you remember. A wide, palm-lined stretch on the southeastern coast of Grenada, it just seems to keep going — soft sand bending gently around a sheltered bay, palm trees leaning in toward the water. It is calm, with the rhythmic lapping of the waves constant. The hills behind […]
The Caribbean is getting its first major fashion week. Casa de Campo Resort & Villas in the Dominican Republic is set to host the inaugural Casa de Campo Fashion Week from June 4 to 8, transforming the storied luxury resort in La Romana into a four-day stage for runway shows, designer presentations, art exhibitions and […]
The bay it sits on has been ranked the third most beautiful in the world. The island it’s on is a five-square-kilometer speck of red-roofed houses, hibiscus gardens and clear water reached only by ferry. And the hotel itself has been quietly operating since 1969. Meet Hotel Bois Joli — a three-star boutique hotel on […]
The stretch of sand at Isla Verde gets busiest just before sunset, when the water turns bright blue-green and the beach chairs start filling again after the afternoon heat breaks. Across the street, people drift between casinos, rooftop lounges and late-night eateries, all within a few blocks of one another. Right now, rates at the Fairmont […]
A pool with a waterslide. A grotto cave. An underwater music system. And a swim-up bar with a blackjack table built into it.
