Dear Diary

What island hotels would you move into immediately?

From island chic to laid back ease, these are my go-tos for the ultimate tropical stay:

• Coral Sands, Harbour Island – Pink sand beaches and coral-hued cottages make this newly redesigned Bahamian beauty a dreamy design moment.
• The Other Side, Eleuthera – Minimalist tents, hammocks over turquoise waters, and barefoot luxury at its finest.
• Cotton House, Mustique – Colonial elegance meets Caribbean soul down in the Grenadines.
• Malliouhana, Anguilla – Iconic 80s glam meets island ease with a breathtaking overlook and poolside perfection.
• Cap Juluca, Anguilla – Moroccan architecture meets Caribbean cool at this iconic hotel.

What are the most beautiful beaches you've visited?

My favorites all have one thing in common: crystal clear water perfect for an afternoon of floating with a cocktail in hand.

• Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island – A rosy-hued dream where blush meets blue.
• Meads Bay, Anguilla – Wide, white sands and laid-back vibes.
• Maundays Bay, Anguilla – Gentle curves, calm waves, and those views of Cap Juluca Hotel.
  
• Tobago Cays, The Grenadines – Barefoot beauty at its best, dotted with turtles and sailboats.
• The Sandbars of Spanish Wells, Bahamas – Like walking on water. These hidden gems feel untouched and otherworldly.
