Caribbean tourism is currently seeing its brightest days, with throngs of vacationers flocking to the archipelago’s shores to enjoy its sun, surf, and sand like never before. The surge in popularity has led to the highly anticipated openings of several new Caribbean resorts.
Experience adventure, romance, or the right amount of self-indulgence at any of these exciting locations. Planning itineraries is easier than ever, with exclusive amenities suitable for guests of all activity levels situated on or near resort grounds. These destinations put an emphasis on a personalized and stress-free vacation experience you’ll brag to others you were among the first to enjoy.
Sandals Curacao
Sandals has a well-earned reputation for value and premium accommodations, providing its guests with award-winning luxury no matter what kind of room they book. With its grand opening in June 2022, Sandals Curacao is the first-ever Sandals in the Dutch Caribbean. This highly-anticipated, adults-only resort further enhances Sandals’ distinguished reputation for optimal comfort and stress-free stays.
This dazzling new resort’s location off the coast of Venezuela makes it an ideal destination for those sailing or flying. With natural wonders like blissful beaches, exotic marine coves, and dozens of ocean dive sites home to unique flora and fauna, Curacao is a safe and serene paradise.
Sandals resorts are known for their marquee destinations, all-inclusive amenities, and affordable stays; Sandals Curacao is no different. This all-inclusive resort offers unlimited drinks and food. Guests can take advantage of free snorkeling trips, a round of golf, or relaxation with a significant other by the signature heart-shaped pool.
The Seaborn
Marriott’s Seaborn is a recent addition to the hotel brand’s lineup of exclusive Autograph Collection resorts. Take part in a one-of-a-kind luxury experience that combines an ideal location, scenic views, and lavish rooms with the tropical serenity only found in the Caribbean.
Opened in June 2022, the Seaborn at Frenchmen’s Reef contains just 94 rooms with interiors inspired by Caribbean heritage with Dutch-themed accents. Like Marriot’s Noni Beach Resort before it, the Seaborn continues a legacy of luxury established by resorts that occupied the famed Morningstar Beach. Guests also enjoy complete access to amenities offered by Marriott’s nearby sister property, Westin Beach.
In addition to open-air restaurants, an infinity pool, and a swim-up bar, the sleek new property also offers a spa and health club. Explore natural wonders via a private catamaran for snorkeling and sailing, exclusive to Marriott guests. The Seaborn is also a prime option for corporate meetings with its combined 18,000 square feet of event space. Coworkers can enjoy Caribbean-inspired food at the signature outdoor eatery and enjoy a night “out” at a buzzy beach club located on the property.
Rock House Resort
Enjoy swaying palms, alabaster sand, and scenic views of Turks and Caicos Islands like never before with the new Rock House resort. As of May 2022, this all-suite hotel offers an exclusive, boutique stay with 40 villa-style rooms for an ornate coastal escape. Experience cliffside ocean views in luxury on wraparound terraces set above the gleaming waters of the Atlantic Ocean and shimmering sands of Grace Bay Beach.
Centrally located with easy access to upscale restaurants and endless retail shopping options, the Rock House experience was crafted to be reminiscent of Italy’s Almalfi Coast. Its sophisticated spaces are decorated with timeless organic materials like limestone and rattan.
The low-lying archipelago shores of Turks and Caicos make it ideal for both beginner and expert level snorkeling, sailing, and fishing. Explore shallow inlet waters to see the coral reefs up close by kayak, stand-up paddle board, or canoe. Enjoy sunset sailing with guided tours or boat rentals. Engage in watersports like tubing, jet skiing, and waterskiing or take to the skies by parasail or helicopter for a tour of the island.
