In St Barth, a Secret Caribbean Beach Resort

 

Even a tiny island like St Barth has its secrets. 

And this one is hidden in plain sight. 

You can see it when you land at Carl Gustaf airport, if you look to your left as you head over the green hills and the roundabout.

You can see it if you squint from St Jean beach. 

Because here, set away from the crowds on a beautiful stretch of beach, is one of St Barth’s most closely guarded secrets. 

This is Les Ilets de la Plage, the colorful beach resort designed for those looking for an authentic, romantic, toes-in-the-sand St Barth experience.

It’s set on a lovely stretch of St Jean beach.

It’s comprised of 12 villas, some bungalows set on the beach, others larger cottages tucked amid the resort’s tropical gardens, from one to three bedrooms. 

And every one has a kitchen, because this is a villa resort, a place to live, from which you can enjoy the delights of St Barth living.

You can go shopping at the market, bring home your baguettes in the late afternoon, or have ti’ punch all day on the sand.

It’s a place for hammocks and beach naps and the castaway experience you didn’t even know you could have in St Barth. 

And no matter what time of day you’re here, the only sounds are the waving palms and the froth of the waves.

An All-Inclusive Luxury Villa in Virgin Gorda

 

One of the BVI’s signature luxury villas is back. 

Virgin Gorda’s Valley Trunk villa, which had been shuttered since Hurricane Irma in 2017, has reopened following a complete restoration and renovation project. 

The 10-suite compound, set on 19 acres in the hills above Virgin Gorda, has amenities including a pool, a cinema, a tennis court and room for up to 20 people at a time.

The best part? It’s all-inclusive, meaning every stay comes with meals prepared by a “world-class chef,” along with beverages and alcohol, along with inclusions like tennis, mountain bikes, airport transfers and laundry service. 

Valley Trunk’s signature edifice, the gathering space called Bali House, will reopen next year. 

The building, which was the centerpiece of the former Valley Trunk, was reproduced in Bali based on the original structure’s blueprints and shipped to Virgin Gorda, where it is being reassembled.

Dominica “Open for Business” Following Elections

 

Dominica is “open for business” following the island’s recent general elections, the Discover Dominica Authority said in a statement. 

Leading up to the elections, there had been pockets of what officials called “civil disobedience” on the island, focused in the villages of Marigot and Salisbury. 

“These disturbances resulted in some road blockages, which caused delays and inconveniences for people traveling to the airport,” the DDA said.

While the island’s airport remained open, cruise calls through Dec. 8 had been canceled, before resuming with a visit by MV Marella Celebration on Dec. 9. 

“Dominica reaffirms that it is open to conduct business and we welcome all our visitors to enjoy all that the nature island has to offer,” the DDA said. 

Silver Airways has also relaunched normal schedules to Dominica out of its hub in San Juan.
