Planning an upscale Caribbean vacation means not only deciding where in the region you’d like to travel, but also choosing luxury accommodations that cater to your tastes and needs. A stay at a luxury Caribbean IHG resort ensures that you can enjoy a unique island experience while taking advantage of high-end amenities like pools with cabanas, spas featuring locally inspired treatments, fine dining options and prime beach access.

If you’re traveling with young children, Grand Cayman’s beachfront Kimpton Seafire Resort has a kids camp, access to water sports and an complimentary evening social hour—ensuring plenty of entertainment for everyone. For an adults-only, all-inclusive leisure option, consider the JOIA Bávaro in the Dominican Republic with its seven on-site restaurants and personal butler service. Explore the coral reefs and rainforests of Dominica through the InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa’s action-packed excursions before returning for a locally caught fish dinner. Or if it’s an off-the-beaten-path location you’re seeking, the Six Senses La Sagesse in picturesque Grenada is a remote resort with a focus on sustainability and wellness. Read on to learn more about what each of these IHG luxury properties has in store for a rejuvenating and memorable Caribbean vacation.

IHG Luxury Hotels In The Caribbean, At A Glance

An Oceanfront Paradise With Kids Programming

Kimpton Seafire Resort

Amenities: Kids camp, cabanas and complimentary beach chairs, fitness center
Location: Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Address: 60 Tanager Way, Grand Cayman

Perched along the white sands of the world-famous Seven Mile Beach, the luxury Kimpton Seafire is designed with open-air architecture that maximizes ocean views and outdoor space. For parents looking to keep their little ones entertained on premises (perhaps while unwinding with cocktails and ceviche by the seaside pool), Camp Seafire is an on-site activity center for children ages 5 to 12 with daily programming, games and a water slide to help them enjoy the island’s aquatic offerings. Local activities include hitting the links at the 18-hole North Sound Golf Club, boutique shopping in Camana Bay and adventuring to Stingray City or the Cayman Turtle Centre to swim with stingrays and green sea turtles, respectively. You can also visit Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park to take in local flora in the home of the endangered blue iguana. However you choose to spend the day, cap it off with a spa session followed by a meal at one of the Seafire Resort’s four on-site dining experiences, from the casual Coccoloba Bar & Grill (kids menu included) to Avecita—a five-course, interactive, Spanish tapas-inspired dining experience by chef Massimo De Francesca (only 10 seats available nightly).

An Adults-Only Location With Ample Dining

JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar

Amenities: Personal butler service, 7 on-site restaurants, 3 outdoor pools
Location: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Address: PH72+8JRCarretera Arena Gorda Bavaro, Higuey

Between personal butler service, a world-class spa, multiple high-end restaurants and lush gardens, the JOIA Bávaro is an all-inclusive adults-only resort for those seeking pure luxury across every aspect of their getaway. In addition to lounging by one of three on-site pools or along the palm-lined shore of Bávaro Beach, you can partake in a number of add-on excursions, from snorkeling in the crystalline waters of Catalina Island to exploring Cave Oviedo and its indigenous rock art to zip-lining and off-roading through La Hacienda Park. When mealtime rolls around, the JOIA Bávaro offers enough on-site restaurants that you may not have to dine in the same place twice. Head to Le Tourbillon (French), El Galeón (American), La Tentazione (Italian), Hashira (Japanese) and more, plus enjoy a daily breakfast buffet and 24-hour room service. Before you turn in, the property’s bar within a floating replica of a traditional Spanish galleon offers a unique opportunity for a Caribbean nightcap.

An Adventure Hub Immersed In Nature

InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa

Amenities: Tennis courts, spa and wellness center, swim-up bar

Nestled within Cabrits National Park—a 1,300-acre nature reserve encompassing coral reefs, rainforests and wetlands—the InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa allows you to experience the land and oceanscape of Dominica up close. Resort amenities include a spa, a wellness center with yoga classes and tennis courts—plus outdoor excursion options abound. You can hike to nearby sites like the Wotten Waven hot springs, Titou Gorge and Trafalgar Falls; ride horses through a pristine rainforest and swim in the waters of Prince Rupert Bay; bird-watch in the only ecosystem on earth inhabited by the sisserou and jaco parrots; and snorkel through seabeds home to octopi, seahorses, sea sponges and more. The Cabrits’ focus on nature extends to the on-site culinary offerings; at beachfront Kwéyòl Restaurant, all produce is sourced from an organic orchard, and every fish served has been caught by local fishers.

A Secluded Resort With Dramatic Scenery

Six Senses La Sagesse, Grenada

Amenities: Spa and wellness center, suites with privatepools, hillside and oceanfront villas

A yoga pavilion, a hammam, the Alchemy Bar and on-site practitioners are included in the hotel’s wellness and spa programs, and the extensive spa menu features a range of massages, facials and body treatments as well as sound baths, guided meditations, aerial yoga, manicures and pedicures. For a local outing, you can take a guided hike to nearby waterfalls, visit artisanal rum-makers and tour nearby farmers markets as well as the farms that supply them, perhaps followed by dinner at the on-site SeaFire restaurant to taste the locally sourced produce you observed.
