The Caribbean collection
Luxury travel in The Caribbean.
Staffed houses on St Barths, Mustique, Canouan, Harbour Island and Barbados's west coast — the region where a villa is the normal way to stay rather than the expensive alternative. Every house links to partner rates and books with our trusted partners, and the Caribbean guide and FAQ carry the timing, transfers and hurricane-season detail.
Where we hold houses
We hold houses on St Barths, Mustique, Canouan, Harbour Island and Barbados. For the islands we do not yet list — Anguilla, Turks and Caicos and the rest — the destination guide is planning advice rather than a listing page.
The best months to go
- December to April
- Ask the property directly about current conditions and its Christmas and New Year rate and minimum-stay policy before booking.
- May to June
- Ask the property directly for its current rate and confirm which restaurants are open before booking this window.
- July to August
- Check the current hurricane forecast outlook and confirm carnival dates and the property's current rate directly before booking.
- September to October
- Check the current hurricane forecast outlook, and confirm directly with the property and nearby restaurants whether they are open before booking. Take insurance that covers weather cancellation.
- November
- Ask the property directly for its current reopening date, staffing status and rate before booking.
The places worth building a trip around
- St Barths
The most concentrated villa market in the Caribbean — Pointe Milou for sunsets, Flamands and Gouverneur for beachfront.
- Mustique
A private-island community of staffed estates; almost nothing here is bookable any other way.
- Canouan
Quiet Grenadine island with a marina, golf and very few visitors; reached by connection from Barbados or St Lucia.
- Harbour Island
Pink-sand beach, golf carts and a handful of tables worth booking ahead; reached via Nassau.
- Barbados
The west coast for calm water and restaurants, the east for surf and space; the easiest island to reach direct.
Anguilla
Long empty beaches and a serious restaurant scene, a short ferry from St Martin. No villas of ours here yet.
Turks and Caicos
Grace Bay for families and flat water; check current forecasts and flight schedules before booking.
