A region synonymous with balmy azure waters, swanky shoreline retreats, and impossibly white sand beaches, the Caribbean has long been the gold standard of high-end getaways. And, as summer 2025 approaches, our thoughts and our flight itineraries turn once more to the region’s most radiant destinations – places where days drift by in a haze of salt-water dips, spa rituals, and perfectly shaken cocktails, and golden hours are best spent barefoot and beachside, before an evening of fine-dining beneath the stars.
Whether you’re craving a romantic retreat, a stylish family escape, or simply enough turquoise-hued bliss to fill your camera roll and calm your soul, we’ve got you covered. Here, we shine a spotlight on four standout summer 2025 destinations offering curated Caribbean indulgence at its brilliant best.
Turks and Caicos
There’s an undeniable magic to Turks and Caicos – a hush in the air, a shimmer on the crystalline coastline, and the distinct sense that the rest of the world has momentarily slipped away. Somehow, this archipelago of 40 low-lying islands and cays, encircled by the planet’s third-largest coral reef system, feels both wildly remote and effortlessly elevated all at once.
While its beauty may be immediate, what truly sets Turks and Caicos apart is the calibre of calm it delivers. Here, privacy reigns supreme, with its secluded beachfront estates, flawless five-star service, and a slowed-down rhythm that has made it a favorite among celebrities and UHNW travelers alike. Top accommodation options include the exclusive private island retreat COMO Parrot Cay and Amanyara, which showcases Aman’s signature tranquillity on a protected stretch of coastline bordering the Northwest Point Marine National Park.
Underwater, things are just as impressive. Renowned dive sites, vibrant coral walls, and gentle shallows teeming with marine life make for some of the finest diving and snorkelling in the Caribbean. Pair all that with decadent dining, world-class beaches (a visit to Grace Bay is a must), spellbinding sunsets, and curated castaway-style excursions, and it’s easy to see why Turks and Caicos remains one of the region’s most coveted destinations. And, with Providenciales International Airport welcoming private jet arrivals via its modern FBO, swift transitions from sky to shore can be expected.
Aruba
Bathed in perennial sunshine, kissed by gentle trade winds, and blissfully positioned outside the hurricane belt, Aruba is the year-round sparkling gem of the Southern Caribbean. With its award-winning beaches, infectious energy, and perfect blend of adventure and elegance, a few moments here is all it takes to see why Aruba earned its nickname - ‘One Happy Island’.
Thankfully, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy its natural splendor. Saddle up for a horseback ride through the wild, cactus-strewn landscapes of Arikok National Park, snorkel or dive to witness the kaleidoscope of color and life beneath the surface, or take a yacht charter to Aruba’s famous Renaissance Island, where you can lounge on the powdery sands while a flock of flamingos wander freely around you. For a taste of local culture, take in the colorful colonial architecture in the small but buzzy capital city of Oranjestad. Or, for a different kind of thrill, Aruba’s upscale casinos offer a touch of Monte Carlo-style glamour after dark.
Luxury resorts abound; you’ll find everything from peaceful beachfront sanctuaries to sleek, high-rise modern showstoppers. Top options include the ever-popular Ritz-Carlton and the new, highly anticipated offering from St. Regis. Conveniently located only 7 miles from the island’s top hotels is Queen Beatrix International Airport, where private jet passengers are serviced through the dedicated VIP terminal for smooth, expedited arrivals and departures.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Located on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea in a sweep of bone-white sands and rustling palms, Punta Cana is a sanctuary for sun-seeking sophisticates. Heralded for its laidback luxury vibe, it’s once again rising to the top of the radar for this summer’s most exclusive escapes – and for good reason.
Days here unfold in true island style – slowly, and in serious comfort. Tee off on palm-lined fairways at championship courses like Punta Espada and Corales, skim across turquoise waters on private yacht charters, and enjoy plenty of toes-in-the-sand seafood lunches, sumptuous spa rituals, and afternoons spent lounging beneath a palapa with a mamajuana cocktail in hand.
As for where to stay, you’ll find opulent oceanfront bungalows and plush resorts concealed within the area’s prestigious private enclaves. Tortuga Bay – the only hotel designed by the legendary Oscar de la Renta – offers understated elegance in spades. While just down the coast, Eden Roc Cap Cana pairs timeless sophistication with Mediterranean-meets-Caribbean charm.
Private jet passengers can land directly at Punta Cana International Airport, where discreet service, a dedicated VIP terminal, and FBO make arrivals and departures as seamless as the stay itself.
Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau is the beating heart of the Bahamas and a long-standing favorite amongst discerning travelers drawn to its vibrant energy, breathtaking beauty, and hassle-free one-hour flight time from Miami. Framed by sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear waters, this capital city offers a cosmopolitan take on island living, rich in color, culture, and unmistakable Caribbean flair.
By day, stroll pastel-hued streets steeped in history, browse designer boutiques in upscale marinas, or set sail for the nearby cays to claim your own private slice of paradise. Its close proximity to offshore gems like Rose Island makes Nassau the ideal starting point for day trips, snorkeling excursions, or champagne-fuelled sunset sails. Back on land, indulge in the island’s thriving culinary scene, try your luck at a glitzy casino, or delve into the dynamic tapestry of festivals and arts that define Nassau’s distinctive soul.
When it comes to stylish spots to stay, you are truly spoilt for choice. The iconic Rosewood Baha Mar, set within the grand Baha Mar enclave on a prime strip of Cable Beach, delivers impeccable service and all-encompassing luxury, while The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort – with its cinematic Bond-cameo credentials – remains an undeniably suave choice. Private jet travelers are in good hands, too, with Lynden Pindling International Airport’s private terminal located under 10 minutes from many of Nassau’s top resorts.
