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 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. 

It’s the Caribbean beach resort you dream about, a gateway to a St Barth few ever get to enjoy.

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.

A new hotel is coming to the heart of Cancun’s famous hotel zone next year, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The new Royal Uno All-Inclusive Resort and Spa, is the latest property from top resort company Royal Resorts. 

Royal Uno, which will make its official debut in December 2020, will be the product of a multimillion-dollar transformation of the former Royal Caribbean resort. 

“We are delighted to introduce a new standard in hospitality with Royal Uno’s authentic Cancún experience for all travelers seeking endless vacation fun, signature dining and five-star amenities,” said Javier Vales, Chief Operating Officer at Royal Resorts. “Cancún is certainly a proven desirable destination and we are looking forward to welcoming guests with our warm approach to hospitality and activities tailored for all ages. It is our mission to give visitors a true sense of place here at Royal Uno.”

The new resort will feature a mix of 540 rooms and suites, with the latter split among both one and two-bedroom suites. 

All of the rooms at the “all-new resort” will include private terraces or balconies, smart TVs, Wi-Fi, bluetooth speakers and minibars, among other amenities. 

Also on hand will be 13 ground-floor beachfront suites, all of which will have plunge pools. 

Eateries will include five different dining concepts: an international restaurant, Mexican, Italian and Asian eateries, a cafe and a “grab-and-go” counter. 

There will be two pools, along with a children’s pool with a water play area, a spa, a swim-up bar, a beach bar and a kids’ club. 

Royal Resorts operates a portfolio of hotels and resorts across the Mexican Caribbean, in Cancun, the Riviera Maya and Puerto Morelos. 

The company is perhaps best known for its Grand Residences Riviera Cancun in Puerto Morelos, one of the most celebrated resorts in the Mexican Caribbean.
