It’s a first-of-its-kind culinary experience in the Caribbean: a hotel with its own fish market.

It’s the brainchild of the Zemi Beach House hotel in Anguilla: each week, the Zemi Beach House Fish Market sees local fishermen bring the fresh catch of the day to the shores of Shoal Bay.

The fish is then barbecued by the hotel’s culinary team and served to guests, with a spectacular view of Shoal Bay.

The market, which is every Friday at 12 PM, also features periodic live music by local artists like the Musical Brothers.

Zemi Beach House opened earlier this year.

Saddleback Cay, named for the shape it assumes when viewed from the sea, is home to seven major and minor beaches, a main house, and several ancillary cottages.

The island is set upon over 90 feet of elevation, and boasts a commanding 360-degree view from one of the highest points in the Exumas.

And it’s for sale.

This 35-acre private island represents a rare opportunity for buyers looking to own property in the world-famous Exumas.

Located in the northernmost section of the cays, the island is easily accessible by boat or air from New Providence.

Neighboring Norman’s Cay offers an operational airstrip, providing even greater ease of access for those traveling to Saddleback.

The island’s location is ideal for fishing enthusiasts – located near some of the best bonefishing and deep water fishing spots in all of the Bahamas.

It is currently listed with Bahamian realty company HG Christie for $11.8 million.

A beautiful stretch of sand at Dover Beach Barbados

By Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon
CJ Travel Editor

It’s 7:30 on an ordinary weekday morning. All around the world people are going about their business, getting ready for work; commuting; kissing their kids before sending them off to school.

But I’m in Barbados, toes sunk deep into damp white sand, my shoulders warmed by the Caribbean sun, my hair tousled by a brisk morning breeze. Here at Dover Beach, the main beach in the tourist hub of St. Lawrence Gap, neat rows of chaises are lined up in front of Sandals Barbados. Within an hour they’ll be filled with sun-seeking guests, eagerly prostrating themselves beneath a cloudless blue sky. Runnesr and walkers will make their footprints on the sand, and the air will be filled with the delighted shrieks of children playing at the water’s edge.

But for now, I have this winsome strand all to myself. Which makes this anything but an ordinary weekday morning.
