Social Spots
JAMAICA
Rockhouse Hotel
If nearby Negril is Jamaica's party capital, the Rockhouse is its more grown-up social sibling. A 60-foot seafront pool, a restaurant serving updated Jamaican fare, and an outdoor yoga pavilion set the chill vibe at the 34-room boho favorite. Or, book one of the 19 cliff-top villas, which have private terraces, and invite new friends for sunset cocktails.
MUSTIQUE
Cotton House Resort
On Mustique, anyone without a private villa checks in to the Cotton House. Recently refreshed by acclaimed hotelier Grace Leo-Andrieu, this 19-room, 300-year-old onetime cotton warehouse sits on 13 lush acres wedged between the isle's Caribbean and Atlantic coasts. At the weekly Manager's Cocktail Party, guests mingle with Mustique's other visitors—and residents.
ST. BART'S
Eden Rock Hotel
Maybe it's the perch on a rocky promontory above the bronzed sunbathers on St. Jean beach, or the celebrity elbows rubbed at cocktail hour in the Sand Bar: the colorful, eccentric Eden Rock Hotel remains the elite epicenter of status-conscious St. Bart's. And the three beachfront villas are big enough for jet-loads of Vuitton luggage.
