The most luxurious hotels and resorts in the Caribbean

The two-story, five-bedroom villa at Four Seasons Anguilla has access to Barnes Bay Beach.

The villa comes with butler service, a sun deck outfitted with a plunge pool, meals prepared by a chef in the gourmet kitchen, en-suite spa treatments and round-the-clock room service.

A first in the Caribbean, over-the-water villas at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay, Jamaica, are about as picture-perfect as it gets.

The Tahitian-style watery wonderlands at the adults-only all-inclusive sit on a deck that floats above the Caribbean Sea.

Designed with see-through glass floors, the villas also come with hammocks suspended over the water, an infinity pool on the deck and a big soaking tub.

Butlers do all the heavy lifting like making dinner reservations at eight restaurants, booking spa treatments and suggesting sightseeing tours.

Commanding a prime location on the Grand Cul-de-Sac in St. Barts, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa is, indeed, grand.

For a high-roller stay, Aqua and Bleu are twin oceanfront villas, each with six bedrooms, a wine cellar and lap pool.

A chef works his magic in the big kitchen and staff arrange stand-up paddleboarding, kite surfing and snorkeling to see the sea turtles.

The fine art of chilling out starts in the six-bedroom villas at The Shore Club in Turks and Caicos Islands.

The palaces in Providenciales are designed with kitchens next to the outdoor dining area and patios that face Long Bay Beach.

Concierges and chefs are available for en suite dining, and guests have access to the resort's pools, spa, bars and fine dining restaurants.

Also in Turks and Caicos, whatever floats your boat you’ll find on the 65-foot catamaran called Kitty Katt. Big enough for 90 and wonderfully private for two, a two-hour sail stops at a private island for snorkeling and beach time.

If a resort rather than a private villa is more your speed, check into Marigot Bay Resort & Marina in St. Lucia.

Balanced on a leafy hillside, the majestic three-bedroom penthouse features a four-poster bed, high ceilings, a hot tub and big kitchen.

Author James Michener once described Marigot Bay as “the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean.”

The pool at Sandyline, a villa for rent in St. Martin.

The seven-bedroom villa features interiors designed by Philippe Starck.

A tropical reef aquarium graces the entrance.

Sandyline also comes with a chef, gym, steam room and tennis court.

Villa Neo turns up the swagger at the exclusive Eden Rock, the first hotel to open on the French island of St. Barts 60 years ago.

A butler and chef are on hand and for a day in the sun, chairs, umbrellas and a cooler are set up on nearby Eden Rock Beach.

The six-bedroom villa comes with a cinema, gym, Turkish bath and nightclub.

In St. Barts, the superyacht Joy can be chartered by guests of the Eden Rock Hotel.

The sporty crew includes a fitness instructor, physiotherapist and boxing coach.

Joggers can do their thing on the upper deck while the more pensive enjoy a yoga session on the bow.

On Shoal Bay West Beach on the southwest tip of Anguilla, you’ll live like royalty in the Antilles Pearl at the Altamer Resort.

Designed by architect Myron Goldfinger, whose work has been exhibited in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the 12,000-square-foot, five-bedroom villa has a striking geometric chalk-white exterior.

Guilty pleasures include an elevator to traverse the three floors, butler service and a 23-speaker sound system.

At St. Lucia's Jade Mountain, the showpiece sanctuaries are sweeping spaces with infinity pools, unapologetically sinful bathrooms and the signature fourth wall that opens to views of the Piton Peaks and Caribbean Sea.

Check into one of three Galaxy Sanctuaries – the resort’s largest suites – for a seven-night Total Romance package.

The sanctuaries at Jade Mountain feature views of the Pitons.

Guests at Jade Mountain can fly from Hewanorra International Airport on the resort's private helicopter.

Round Hill Hotel & Villas west of Montego Bay in Jamaica has long hosted discerning guests like John F. Kennedy, Sir Paul McCartney, Beyoncé and Prince Harry.

Round Hill's Villa 20 is built for maximum privacy at the edge of the forest.

The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom, two-pool villa measures nearly 9,000 square feet and easily sleeps 14.

While the beach at Shoal Bay East in Anguilla is the main attraction, a Beachfront Villa Suite at Zemi Beach House Resort & Spa could steal the show.

Super-spacious with three bedrooms, there’s plenty of room for a terrace, big kitchen and a pool that overlooks the sea.

In Grenada, the AAA Five Diamond Spice Island Beach Resort is a collection of 64 chichi suites on Grand Anse Beach.

At the all-inclusive and family-owned resort, high-rollers go for the Cinnamon and Saffron suites.

If yoga in the beachfront pavilion isn’t relaxing enough, kick it up a notch at Janissa’s Spa with a yummy Chocolate Body Wrap.
