Four small hotels that let you live large.
Montpelier Plantation & Beach, Nevis
This elegant Relais & Châteaux hideaway in the mountains, which also has a seaside club, has been drawing the in-crowd for years. And it’s more stylish than ever now that the 19 rooms have been redone with natural Caribbean accents (local-bamboo headboards, coral lamps). $
Casas Del XVI, Dominican Republic
There wasn’t a chic place to stay in Santo Domingo until this seven-room property opened last year. Occupying two restored colonial-era houses, it feels like a stone-andbrick casbah in the heart of the city’s historic district. Antique furnishings and conquistador-era tile floors fill the interiors, and each guest gets a loaner iPhone in order to stay in touch with a personal butler. $
The Lone Star, Barbados
Recently renovated, the six airy rooms are each named for a car—fitting since this beachside hotel is actually a former Texaco garage. (Buick and Studebaker have ocean views.) A blue, gray, and white color scheme gives the whole property—which includes a popular restaurant serving killer wood-fired pizzas at lunch—a calming vibe. Five-night minimum. $$
Le Soleil D'Or Boutique Hotel and Rentals, Cayman Islands
Most travelers flock to the Caymans for two things: diving and Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach, the country’s marquee stretch of sand. To go off the beaten path, head out to this new retreat (pictured) with a 20-acre organic garden on tiny Cayman Brac. Guests can choose between a two-story villa, a one-story cottage, and a four-room hotel, and spend their days lounging at the beach club, touring the farm, or taking a cooking class. $$
