Venturing out of the BVI, the Caribbean as a region has a way of drawing people back again and again. What you may not know is that many luxury resorts that contribute greatly to the Caribbean allure, entertaining thousands of guests each year, are actually owned by celebrities.
Check out four of the Caribbean’s hottest celebrity-owned hotels and make plans for when you next decide to ‘get off the rock.’
Ariel Sands
Located on Bermuda’s southern shore, the collection of beach cottages known as Ariel Sands has been a vacationer’s dream since 1954. Actor Michael Douglas has deep family ties to the island, and he and his wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, have partnered with New York developer Seth G. Weinstein to reinvigorate the property and re-open it in 2017. With a focus on green energy use, the new Ariel Sands will also feature a freshwater pool, direct beach access for guests, and a top-notch salon and spa.
Stargroves Villa
Owned by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, you can vacation like a rock star in the Stargroves Villa. Hidden on the tiny island of Mustique in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the tropical property features seven elegant pavilions with plenty of space to relax, dine, and enjoy the beauty of the island. The villa sleeps 10 and includes a master suite just steps from the ocean, a children’s pavilion, and a freshwater swimming pool.
Marley Resort & Spa
With 16 themed suites and a stunning Cable Beach location in Nassau, the Marley Resort & Spa is a Bahamian paradise and was once the private retreat of the Marley family. Re-opening under new management in May 2016, you can relax under the sun by the pool, complete with a gentle waterfall or visit the Stir It Up Bar for a refreshing cocktail.
Musha Cay
Tucked away in the beautiful trail of islands known as the Exumas in the Bahamas, Musha Cay is 700 acres of pure tropical bliss. Owned by famed illusionist David Copperfield, Musha Cay at Copperfield Bay offers the ultimate private-island Caribbean experience. With room for a maximum of 24 guests at one time, you and your closest friends can enjoy five private English colonial-style villas, each with their own secluded beach. If relaxing on a tranquil beach becomes too much, step into the resort’s luxurious spa for a massage, enjoy a gourmet meal, or spice up the night with a private fireworks show from the beach.
