For those ultra-discerning travelers craving both privacy and extravagance in the sun-drenched Caribbean, this curated collection of elite resorts is tailored to A-list standards. Whether you’re arranging a lavish escape for a VIP—or just want to vacation like one—these exclusive properties deliver impeccable service, next-level luxury, and serious star power.
- The Shore Club, Turks and Caicos: An Icon in Beachfront Glamour
Tucked along the pristine sands of Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club continues to define tropical sophistication. Though a two-time winner of “Most Instagrammable Hotel in the World,” the photos hardly do it justice. Home to high-profile guests like Simone Biles, Tracy Morgan, and Robin Roberts, the resort offers a selection of 8,800-square-foot villas—six-bedroom marvels complete with private pools, butler service, and even underground service tunnels for complete discretion.
Top-tier touches? Fast-tracked VIP arrivals at Providenciales International Airport, champagne welcomes, private chefs, kids’ amenities, and in-villa saunas. The views are stunning, but privacy is paramount—elevators connect directly to hidden staff pathways so no one ever has to be seen.
Prefer to stay higher up? The one- to three-bedroom Executive Penthouses offer sweeping ocean vistas, spacious balconies, gourmet kitchens, and spa-inspired bathrooms with soaking tubs. These are the go-to picks for celebrity guests seeking unobstructed views and an elevated escape.
At mealtime, the Asian-Peruvian fine dining spot Sui-Ren wows with dishes like lomo saltado and creative sushi on Fridays. For something more intimate, private dining experiences—on the beach or in-villa—can be easily arranged with advance notice.
The Dune Spa is another standout, featuring island-inspired treatments like the Twilight Ceremony and the region-exclusive LING Neolifting facial. Add a world-class fitness center, tennis courts, and a lap pool, and the wellness factor is off the charts.
Looking for adventure? Concierge-arranged excursions include kiteboarding (a must at Long Bay), horseback rides, snorkeling, and island-hopping via private yacht.

32. Kamalame Cay, Bahamas: Private Island Luxury, Reimagined
Accessible only by seaplane or private boat, Kamalame Cay is the crown jewel of secluded island living. Sprawled across 96 acres off the coast of Andros, this barefoot-luxe hideaway recently welcomed a stunning new villa, Buttonwood. Perched atop one of the Cay’s highest points, it offers wraparound terraces, four serene bedrooms, and 4,300 square feet of indoor-outdoor space perfect for families or small groups seeking total privacy.
All villas offer beach access, panoramic views, and optional upgrades like private chefs, yoga instructors, and in-villa spa treatments. While traditional butler service isn’t provided, the concierge team delivers personalized attention and indulgent extras like breakfast cooks and cocktail hours.
Standout feature? The overwater spa—said to be the only one in the Caribbean—specializes in organic seaweed-based treatments. The Vitamin Sea Brightening Facial is a guest favorite, blending marine ingredients with vitamin C for instant radiance.
Dining is equally impressive, with Ocean-to-Table lunches and curated private dinners served under the stars. Kamalame’s Sugarcane restaurant pulls flavors from around the world’s sugarcane belt—from Jamaica to Southeast Asia.
Excursions range from snorkeling the Andros Barrier Reef and deep-sea fishing to dolphin-spotting cruises and blue hole adventures. Don’t skip the seaplane arrival—stepping off straight onto your villa’s doorstep is a power move.

3. Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort, St. Kitts: Where Nature Meets Notoriety
Tucked into the lush hills of St. Kitts, Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort is a serene blend of seclusion and sophistication. The property’s crown jewel—the Farmhouse & Four Bedroom Villa & Pool—delivers the ultimate VIP experience with four standalone cottages, a sprawling terrace, and a 100-foot private pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
With 40 private accommodations scattered throughout the estate, guests enjoy near-total privacy and room to roam. Rainfall showers, soaking tubs, and organic design details create a haven for unplugging in style.
Belle Mont’s KayanJet arrival experience elevates the journey from the start. Whether flying commercial or private, guests are whisked from tarmac to private terminal, where customs, immigration, and baggage are handled discreetly over drinks and gourmet bites.
On-property enrichment includes cooking classes, foraging experiences, and exclusive dining at The Lookout—ideal for anniversaries or proposals. For foodies, don’t miss the Chef’s Table Dinner or spicy local dishes like tamarind-ginger chicken and flame-grilled lobster.
Wellness seekers will appreciate spa treatments using indigenous ingredients and custom body scrubs, while thrill-seekers can hike Mount Liamuiga or dive into Caribbean adventures like snorkeling, paddleboarding, or catamaran cruising.
Looking to sip and swirl? Book the Kittitian RumMaster experience—an interactive journey through the region’s rum legacy that ends with your own bespoke bottle.
