Jonquil Suite
Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla

Combining Caribbean comfort with refined style, Cap Juluca is a firm favorite among East Coast jet setters. With its privileged position overlooking a private stretch of beach along Maundays Bay, its white-washed domed villas are an iconic sight and something of an island emblem. A selection of beachfront suites are situated some distance away from the Main House for privacy, including a Beachfront Five Bedroom Pool Villa and the Jonquil Suite. At 3,000 square feet, the suite has two master bedrooms, a living area, a private infinity pool and an oceanfront terrace, making it ideal for couples or friends. But the view is the highlight – stretching across the white sands of Maundays Bay all the way to neighboring St. Maarten and your next port of call. belmond.com

Villa du Pêcheur
Hotel Le Sereno, St. Barths

The chic, upscale hideaway Hotel Le Sereno is nestled on St. Barths’ Grand Cul-de-Sac – a turquoise lagoon that is also a protected nature reserve. The shallow waters of the lagoon are home to stingrays, turtles and brightly colored coral and fish for those looking to discover St. Barths’ underwater offerings. Ashore, however, the colors are equally vibrant – even the pool tiles have been chosen to match the color of the lagoon. Epitomizing understated luxury, the waterfront Villa du Pêcheur has its own private swimming pool, separate living area, two bathrooms and outdoor dining. When connected with two other Grand Suite Plage Sud rooms, the Villa du Pêcheur becomes the Village du Pêcheur – ideal for multi-generational families arriving by yacht and spending a few nights ashore on the most coveted island in the Caribbean. serenohotels.com
