Chase the Caribbean sun on a private jet
As Old Man Winter tightens his grip on North America, we begin to dream of Caribbean adventures. Sun-kissed sand, turquoise waters and unparalleled hospitality are in abundance at our favourite luxury destinations, all accessible by private jet.
Here are five properties that stand out for their top-notch facilities, stellar service and unforgettable surroundings.
Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa – St. Barts.
One of the most prestigious resorts in the world, Sandy Lane on the West Indies island of Barbados is known for unparalleled luxury. Choose from ocean-view hotel rooms or suites, penthouses or even the one-of-a-kind Villa at Sandy Lane, a stately 7,300-square-foot private retreat set amongst its own garden and featuring staff dedicated to your every need. Walk the resort’s coral sand beach overlooking the Caribbean Sea, sample world-class golf, or get in a game at the property’s many sports facilities. Land at Grantley Adams International Airport (TBPB), 40 minutes from Sandy Lane.
2. Hamilton Princess & Beach Club – Bermuda
This Fairmont property features a relaxing view of the resort’s marina, with easy access to Bermuda’s pink sand beaches. Hail the hotel’s complimentary jitney for a ride to the stunning hotel beach club on Sinky Bay, a private cove on South Beach. If you’d rather stay at the resort, you can pass the day in a cabana at the onsite infinity pool, enjoying a clear view of Hamilton Harbour. Sip on a cocktail at the pool bar or, if you’re full of energy, play a game of tennis or pickleball. Fly into L.F. Wade International Airport (TXKF), just 30 minutes away.
3. Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve – Puerto Rico
True to the Ritz-Carlton name, this luxury beachfront resort has every amenity under the Caribbean sun. Try the onsite golf, tennis or spa facilities, or simply relax around one of two swimming pools or sample perfectly-prepared cuisine at the resort’s four restaurants. Take a day trip into the capital city of San Juan, just 40 kilometres (24 miles) away, or stake out your spot on the breathtaking beach and dig in for the day. Your plane will fly into Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (TJSJ), located 50 minutes from the resort.
4. Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa – St. Barts
Operated under a “couture hospitality” credo, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa on the French West Indies island of St. Barts is lauded for its exceptional staff and luxury facilities. Together, they combine into a near-perfect vacation experience in a family-friendly setting. Choose from a hotel room or private villa that comes with personal concierge service and private roundtrip transfers to and from the airport. Soak up the sun in this idyllic beachfront setting, where sustainability is top of mind. Fly into the St. Barthelemy Airport (TFFJ), just 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) from the property.
5. COMO Parrot Cay – Turks & Caicos
Situated on a private island with its own pristine white sand beach, this stately property offers elegant accommodation in rooms, suites, villas and houses. Enjoy a gourmet menu inspired by Caribbean seafood and fill your days with custom boat or fishing charters, biking, tennis, and paddleboarding, or tour the resort’s coconut and banana groves. Your jet will fly into Providenciales International Airport (MBPV) and the resort’s private transfer service includes a 15-minute drive to the marina followed by a 35-minute boat ride.
