Luxury Caribbean resorts just keep getting more and more impressive, and with every year the standard for Caribbean luxury gets higher. 

We’ve long said that Caribbean luxury is a unique concept; but even within the sphere there are so many different interpretations and manifestations of what the word means in the region. 

There’s sleek, modern luxury; the luxury of the residential resort; the luxury of overwhelming beauty and design; and the luxury of endless indulgence — to name a few. 

The hottest luxury Caribbean resorts for 2020 all exemplify a particular brand of luxury; what they all have in common is a commitment to making guests feel grand. 

Here are the hottest, buzziest luxury resorts in the Caribbean for 2020. 

Cabrits Resort and Spa Kempinski Dominica There’s no hotter luxury Caribbean resort than the brand-new Cabrits Resort and Spa Kempinski Dominica, the Nature Island’s first true resort. The 151-room resort in northern Dominica is the first-ever resort in the Caribbean for the luxe Kempinski brand, and a new level of modern luxury for an island that has long been one of the Caribbean’s most closely-guarded secrets. Make sure you go for one of the plunge-pool suites, either gazing at the sea or at Dominica’s stunning green-mountain scenery.

The British Virgin Islands is now home to its first Wyndham hotel: the Wyndham Lambert Beach Resort in Tortola. 

The newly resort is a rebranding of the former Lambert Beach Resort, which had been slated to debut as a Wyndham before Hurricane Irma and finally opened last month under the new flag. 

The 38-room hotel is set across eight “villa-style” buildings on 14 acres in Tortola. 

Amenities include a restaurant and bar on the beach, a swim-up pool bar, an outdoor verandah for private dining and a fun happy hour scene. 

The biggest amenity, though, is a setting on 1,500 feet of direct beach frontage.

Sure, a week at a beach resort in Barbados is one of the region’s ultimate getaways. 

But what if you spent the week at two resorts? 

That’s the beauty of UNNA Resort’s pair of properties in the northwestern edge of Barbados: Saint Peter’s Bay and Port Ferdinand. 

Port Ferdinand is home to the island’s most beautiful marina, a sleek, modern, luxe retreat that’s as much your own private club as it is a resort. And from an overwater pool to the only Nikki Beach in the English-speaking Caribbean, it’s a true standout. 

The other is Saint Peter’s Bay, the perfect beach resort, a boutique villa resort that marries grand luxury with barefoot elegance. 

And the best part? A short boat ride separates them, one you can conveniently take and enjoy the amenities of both resorts, no matter which one your staying at at the time.

As Abaco continues to work on its recovery from the impact of Hurricane Dorian, there’s a new way to chip in. 

Rum company Papa’s Pilar has partnered with the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation to create “Papa’s Pilar Relief & Rebuild,” a program to raise awareness for and support relief efforts in the Abaco Islands of The Bahamas that were devastated by Hurricane Dorian.

For every bottle of Papa’s Pilar Blonde and Dark Rum sold within Florida, Papa’s Pilar said it would donate $5 and $10 respectively to support the relief and rebuilding of the Abacos.

“Papa’s Pilar is inspired by Ernest Hemingway and strives to support causes that carry on his legacy,” said Mike Myatt, Papa’s Pilar Chief Communities & Conservation Officer. “We have a deep connection to the Abaco Islands’ people and culture, and through our program with the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, we hope to support those affected by the horrific devastation of Hurricane Dorian as they begin to rebuild their lives, homes and businesses.”

In addition to the donation program running through 2019, Papa’s Pilar and Guy Harvey will be working with relief partners to develop an ongoing recovery and rebuilding program for the Abaco Islands in 2020 and beyond.

“The Bahamas, including the Abaco Islands, are true treasures, both ecologically and culturally,” said Guy Harvey. “Being from the Caribbean and having dealt with powerful storms like Dorian, I know first-hand that it will take a conjoined effort to rebuild these communities, and we are happy to partner with Papa’s Pilar to make a significant, positive difference.”
