Island queens in the Caribbean

There’s a reason that holidaymakers flock to the Caribbean to reset. The region – home to hundreds of paradisical islands – is blessed with aquamarine waters, alabaster sands and warm trade winds. Then there’s the people, who are so laid-back and without pretence that you can’t help but feel them rub off on you. Which is why, when you make the trip to this wellness nucleus, you’ll want to make the most of it. It’s easy to jump from, for example, the Windward Islands to the Lesser Antilles. We suggest starting in Grenada. To experience the vibrant tapestry of shipwrecks, Soca music and rum of the so-called Spice Isle, stay at Six Senses La Sagesse. Reposing in a serene bay, the hotel seamlessly integrates into the topography of vegetation-blanketed cliffs; this proximity to nature culminates in an eco-commitment that ranges from the resort growing its own ingredients, to hosting sustainability workshops at its Earth Lab. The stresses of life positively evaporate here: the interiors are light and airy, while scents of cinnamon, nutmeg and palo santo emanate from the lagoon-adjacent spa.
