It isn’t often that your room itself is a work of art.

Sure, there are well designed suites and well appointed rooms, units with striking paintings and dazzling lines.

But these are different.

The onetime owner of Antigua’s Galley Bay was an art lover, and in an homage to her favorite painter built a special wing at this classic all-inclusive beach resort: the Gauguin Suites.

They are truly striking, with classic Caribbean shingles and marvelous curves and rugged patterns of wood on the exterior, each with its own patch and style.

The insides are even more so: bright walls, impressive furnishings and playful lines and curves.

And then there are the exterior areas: private plunge pools and endlessly tranquil settings on the water’s edge.

They’re very romantic, perfect for a Caribbean honeymoon or an adults only retreat.

There are 13 of these cottages, perched on the edge of the lagoon, a resort within a resort.

You can travel around the Caribbean and back again and not find anything quite like them.

In his long career, Paul Gauiguin spent a short, important time in the Caribbean, the people and and the hues speaking to him, a string of island muses.  (If you squint, you can see in these suites the island huts that inspired several of his paintings.)

Hut Under the Coconut Palms, 1894 by Paul Gauguin.

Because this is the primary reason people keep coming back to the Caribbean – it’s beauty, its tranquility, its transformative power of relaxation.

The lagoon at Galley Bay.

Its romance.

Its art.

And when you find yourself somewhere like this, staying inside of a sculpture, looking out at a painting, you understand.

Luis Fonsi sent shockwaves through the music industry last year with his Puerto Rico-focused Despacito, and the Caribbean star is at it again with his newest single: Calypso.

The new single features British-Jamaican rapper and singer Stefflon Don.

Just like Despacito, the song’s music video puts Puerto Rico at the front and center, opening on the sands of Palominito Island off the coast of Fajardo.

“I’ve been very excited about this song for a while now because of how it makes me feel every time I play it. Calypso for me represents fun, colors, Caribbean vibes, and beach, basically a good time,” Fonsi said. “The song has a fresh sound…, an island sound and it plays again with three languages, Spanish, English and even a little bit of French. When we went to the studio to record the track, I wanted to have a female voice that will give it that special touch and Stefflon Don was it. She is an incredible artist, super talented, her style and that combination of British accent with her Jamaican flavor was exactly what the song needed.”

It’s the first collaboration for Stefflon Don on a Spanish track.

“This song is lit! You are going to keep repeating it every day, is not going to come out of your head,” he said. “For me it’s an honor that Fonsi asked me to be a part of this track, I feel like it’s going to be a big situation.”

“Calypso” was written by Luis Fonsi, Dyo, Mauricio Rengifo, Andrés Torres, Stefflon Don and produced by award-winning producers Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo.

Behind the new video is director Carlos Perez, who was also responsible for Despacito.
