Dear Diary

At Palm Beach Regency, we believe good style is just as important on vacation as it is at home—and no one curates it better than Koko. From shell-drenched bars to rattan-filled hotel rooms, she’s giving us the ultimate guide to island hopping.

What are your favorite island destinations?

When it comes to Caribbean travel, I’m all about those off-the-beaten-path island gems. The smaller the better!

My top picks? Anguilla, Eleuthera, Bequia, and Mustique—each one is a little pocket of paradise.

What are the best island bars you’ve visited?
I love a bar at the end of the world! So, if there’s one thing I know, it’s how to find the perfect beach bar. My favorites are laid-back gems.

• Garvey’s Sunshine Shack, Anguilla – Famous for BBQ and Garvey’s warm vibes.
• Basil’s Bar, Mustique – Iconic, legendary, and just the right amount of barefoot glam.
• Soggy Dollar Bar, Jost Van Dyke – The original painkiller cocktail? Yes, please.
• Elvis’ Beach Bar, Anguilla – Flip-flops required, dancing encouraged.

Stay tuned for more of Koko’s top island picks later this month. And be sure to shop our curated Island Chic Summer Edit all month.
