French West Indies
& Windward Islands

Measuring a mere 10 kilometers long and four wide, Saint-Barthélemy might have remained a hidden pearl in the Caribbean. But when David Rockefeller built a retreat here in 1957—followed by JFK in the 1960s—this exquisite island quietly became a secret haven for the world’s elite. Arriving by sea, red-tiled roofs and lush palm-fringed hills frame Gustavia’s harbor, where yachts drift beside sailboats in serene harmony. The capital exudes the charm of Saint-Tropez, yet with a tropical twist. Whether you are leisurely browsing luxury boutiques and emerging designer stores, or strolling to the Place de la Rétrocession or Place Vanadis topped with Neptune's trident, in flip-flops or in heels, Saint-Barth offers a blissful blend of effortless beauty, sun-drenched scenery, and unforgettable style.

Set like a jewel in the vibrant blue waters of the BVIs, Virgin Gorda is nature's quiet rebel: untamed yet refined, wild yet welcoming. At its heart lie the Baths, an otherworldly labyrinth where ancient granite boulders rise from the sea, forming tidal pools, grottoes, and sun-dappled chambers. Worn smooth by millennia, these sculptural stones create intimate sanctuaries where shadow meets light. Beyond, Virgin Gorda reveals pristine beaches, crystalline waters, and hillside views untouched by overdevelopment—an island where luxury is measured in space, privacy, and profound connection to something timeless.

Six nautical miles north of Anguilla, an enchantingly wild islet, Prickly Pear Cay, emerges like a mirage, adrift in turquoise waters where time dissolves into salt and sunlight. This protected sanctuary embodies true escape, accessible only to those seeking paradise. Freedom is at your feet, walking ribbons of snow-white sand and swimming crystalline waters. Overhead, frigates and terns wheel across endless skies while beneath, kaleidoscopic reefs teem with life, making this stop a dreamscape for snorkelers. One cay shaped by wind, the other by serenity, this marine reserve remains gloriously raw yet refined—where a simply grilled lobster with chilled cocktails becomes pure poetry. 

Ahh, hideaways can be so delicious. This one lies off the north coast of Antigua, a tiny unspoiled islet. Its name? Little Jumby. Its address: where the whisper of waves and the breath of the wind tell of a barely known sanctuary for those in quest of the truly exceptional. An islet offering that rarest form of escape, where effortless luxury and chic discretion join forces in perfect harmony. At the heart of this oasis is The Hut, a private beach club that invites you to unwind and discover the unexpected. With sun-drenched allure and a Saint-Tropez vibe, this is barefoot glamour at its most intoxicating. But, shhh! Keep this gem to yourself.

Adjacent to Falmouth Harbour on Antigua’s hilly southern coast, historic English Harbor is a living tribute to a bygone maritime era. And an idyllic Caribbean getaway, to boot. Established in 1725 as a Royal Navy base, the town boasts the world’s only Georgian dockyard still in operation, the UNESCO-designated Nelson’s Dockyard. The legendary Admiral Nelson himself called it home for a time. The constant breezes here are just as legendary, luring sailing enthusiasts onto these waters. Had a more relaxed adventure in mind? Pigeon Point’s white sand and turquoise surf invite basking and swimming, while the vibrant Antiguan atmosphere adds zest to your respite.

Princess Diana Beach stretches along Barbuda’s untouched coast like a ribbon of silk between sky and sea. The sand is dazzingly white with a blush of pink, while the ocean shifts through shades of blue, its silence broken only by seabirds and the soft sway of anchored boats. Far away from the world, this is where Princess Diana found rare peace. Renamed in her honor, it remains a place one imagines her loving for its simplicity: a sunset, a brilliance of blue hues from sky to sea, a nap beneath the shade of an almond tree. Fiercely beautiful and untamed, Barbuda guards this shoreline like a secret. Princess Diana Beach is more than a destination—it is a place where every step in the sand tells a story, one of a woman seeking peace and of an island that chooses absolute authenticity.

Known as the “Isle of Flowers,” Martinique could as easily be called the “Isle of Colors.” From vivid tropical blooms to coral reefs and black-and-white beaches, it dazzles at every turn. Vibrant Creole cottages, golden-hued rum and the emerald slopes of Mont Pelée. Once the capital and a refuge for privateers, this was the “Little Paris” of the Caribbean before the volcano’s eruption in 1902. Left in ruins, the city was abandoned for years. Yet fragments of its past endure: the charred steps of its grand theater, the soot-darkened Fort Church and crumbling facades along Monte-au-Ciel Street. Beneath the bay’s surface, divers discover sunken ships—silent sentinels of that fateful day. Today, it’s a place where history and resilience converge, leaving a mark on those who walk its storied streets.

Cradled by the gentle curve of Carlisle Bay, Bridgetown offers one of the most naturally sheltered harbors in the Caribbean. Yet, beyond its geography lies a rich and unexpected blend of British heritage and tropical serenity.

Claimed by the British Crown in 1624, Barbados retains the legacy of its historic past. Throughout the capital, Victorian buildings stand proudly, the Parliament rises with its clocktower, and a Caribbean echo of Trafalgar Square adds to the sense of familiarity. This "Little England" of the West Indies has rightfully earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Bridgetown's coral-stone facades and sun-warmed streets invite unhurried exploration. In this corner of Barbados, history and beauty meet in perfect balance, offering an experience as refined as it is relaxed.
