Luxury villa firm Sibarth has unveiled a slate of the newest villa offerings in St. Barth, led by a stunning option overlooking Lorient.

It’s called Clementine, and this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home includes its own fitness room, a spectacular mosaic-tiled infinity swimming pool and an ultra-modern galley kitchen with everything from a uicer to an espresso machine.

Bedrooms boast rain showers, terraces and details like Bose Sound Touch connections.

But it’s the St Barts views that truly stand out, with vistas of St. Martin and the tiny islands of Fregate, Toc Vert and Tortue in the distance.

For more information, visit Sibarth.

We’ve long loved the beach town of Bathsheba, Barbados for its eclectic mix of break-seekers, rum-lovers and spectacular scenery.

There’s just something mystical about the place, a destination that teems with inexplicable energy.

And then there’s the sound of the waves – the steady hum of frothing blue that is almost meditative.

Here’s what it’s like on the beach in Bathsehba.

If you really want to get off the grid, consider the Grenadines, an archipelago of 32 compact islands governed by both St. Vincent and Grenada. Afloat in a sapphire sea, they’re a huge draw for sailors, snorkelers and beach seekers, who are practically guaranteed sugary sands, palm-studded hillsides and sunrises so spectacular that sleeping in isn’t an option. If you haven’t yet visited these idyllic outposts, there’s no time like the present. And when you finally get to touch down, here’s where we recommend you stay. Here are the best resorts in the Grenadines.

Petit St Vincent What’s not to love about this all-inclusive private-island outpost, where a mere 22 cottages punctuate winsome white-sand beaches and tree-carpeted hillside? Spend your days sunny side up at the oceanview spa or sailing the nearby Tobago Cays on Beauty, the resort’s sloop. And then toast to your good fortune with a frosty Hairoun beer at waterfront Goatie’s Bar.

After months of decline, American Airlines saw a strong uptick in Latin America and Caribbean traffic in July, according to the carrier’s latest numbers.

American Airlines Group reported 2.952 billion revenue passenger miles in Latin America and the Caribbean last month, up 3.9 percent from July 2016.

Available seat miles totaled 3.48 billion in July, itself a 3 percent jump year over year, while load factor rose by 0.7 percentage points to 84.8 percent.

For the year, Latin America and Caribbean traffic remains in decline by 1.5 percent, however.

The surge comes at a good time, as competitors like JetBlue and Southwest have seen continued strong growth in the region.
