Point Grace, Turks and Caicos
Point Grace is a luxury boutique enjoying a beautiful remote location on Grace Bay beach in Turks and Caicos. It has 28 one- to four-bedroom suites decorated in a British Colonial style; picture vaulted ceilings, mahogany wood floors, and elegant clawfoot bathtubs. Luxe amenities include an ocean-side spa, a quiet pool, and lush garden grounds filled with bougainvillea and hibiscus. There are two on-site restaurants, but suites have full kitchens if you really want to stay holed up.
Geejam, Jamaica
Geejam touts itself as a “private hotel” and with only five modern cottages, it definitely delivers. The resort is tucked in the lush foothills of Port Antonio, about a two-hour drive from Kingston International Airport. There are no communal spaces, not even a lobby, except for the Bushbar restaurant. The on-site beach is small but lovely, in-room spa treatments can be arranged, and there’s even a recording studio. Rooms vary; one has a swimming pool, one has an outdoor whirlpool, and two have their own steam rooms. The vibe is relaxed and quiet, making it ideal for isolation-seeking couples.
