Baoase Luxury Resort

The Best Hotels in the Caribbean, According to a Writer

"Serene and secluded by design, this lush, green oasis sits on a private white cove where Balinese-inspired villas and cottages rise from the sand. With just 23 keys, it feels tailor-made for romance—and you’ll be tempted not to stray far, especially if you spring for a room with a private pool. When you do venture out, the island reveals itself as a still mostly hidden haven with spectacular snorkeling and beaches that feel blissfully bare compared to neighboring islands, and the on-site restaurant ranks among the Caribbean’s best, part of a sizzling culinary scene that’s blossomed beyond anything I imagined when I first visited more than 15 years ago." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
