The Caribbean's Hottest New Hotels

Bequia

Set on a working coconut plantation, the just-renovated Firefly Hotel (doubles from $495, including breakfast) is the first of a handful of new hotels scheduled to open on this tiny seafarers’ island. Firefly has the requisite luxury touches (rooms with canopied beds and waterfall showers). But the wow factor comes from snorkeling off the hotel’s untamed beach; private picnics on the neighboring island of Isle à Quatre; and insider recommendations from British hotelier Elizabeth Clayton, who has lived in the Grenadines for more than a decade.
