Secluded Hideaways
BARBUDA
Beach House
The resort's unofficial motto is Do not disturb. It's easy to play castaway here, on this low-lying coral island near Antigua where your only company is the seabirds that inhabit the pink-sand dunes along the empty shoreline. The 21 white-on-white guest rooms, all with private teak decks, face a saltwater pool and the surf beyond.
MARTINIQUE
Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa
At this 50-suite escape on Martinique's verdant eastern coast, a Guerlain spa and Creole fusion cuisine add Gallic spice to a modern plantation-style hotel decorated with vibrant madras fabrics. Take your cue from the French clientele and touch up your tan Euro-style (read: topless). After sunset, dance to steel drums in the lounge.
