If white sand beaches, amazing water sports, luxury spas, butler service and stunning beauty sounds like your idea of a holiday, you may want to consider a trip to the Caribbean
The next time you’re daydreaming of an island paradise getaway, think about heading to the Caribbean: an idyllic archipelago made up of azure waters, pristine beaches and some of the world’s most stunning natural landscapes. But deciding where within the 2.7-million-kilometre paradise to visit can be a tricky task, especially with 13 sovereign nations and countless hotels and resorts scattered across the territory. We’ve searched far and wide to find the best luxury retreats in the Caribbean for a tropical wellness getaway.
BodyHoliday
All-inclusive holidays have a reputation for compromising quality in the name of quantity, but BodyHoliday puts that notion to bed. The award-winning, five-star facility on the island of St Lucia boasts just 170 rooms and suites, each complete with their own pillow menus and digital directories. One of the best luxury retreats in the Caribbean, the sprawling beachfront property has three freshwater swimming pools, two tennis courts, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a wide range of scheduled activities and programmes including scuba diving, aerobics, water skiing, spinning and more. There are also wellness activities including yoga, meditation and Pilates.
Como Parrot Cay
Bringing Como’s signature brand of wellness to the shores of Turks and Caicos, Como Parrot Cay is a holistic resort situated on a private island. The newly-renovated property just reopened on October 1, 2019, for guests in search of an intimate and relaxing retreat experience. The resort features a water sports hut, dedicated running trail and the option of a personalised butler service. The signature Como Shambhala wellness programme offers Pilates, Ayurvedic therapies and a wide range of massages and spa treatments from one of its nine treatment rooms.
