Barbados
High above the sugary sands of Carlisle Bay and beyond the bustle of Bridgetown, Sweetfield Manor is a bed-and-breakfast for travelers who wouldn’t normally be caught dead in a bed-and-breakfast. In this restored 1903 plantation house – the island’s only great house B&B – there’s no forced intimacy between the hosts and guests and not even a hint of chintz in the decor.
Even the food is exceptional. Owner Anni Clarke’s morning feasts might include boiled eggs marinated in sweet soy and oolong, fresh-baked croissants, roast pineapple and Mason jars brimming with tangy juices, all served alfresco in a sun-dappled walled garden strewn with bougainvillea petals and shaded by mahogany trees…

Shore Thing: The Bitter End Yacht Club, BVI
I came to the Bitter End with the loose intention of learning how to sail. OK, that’s not entirely true: I arrived on Virgin Gorda with fantastical visions of standing at the helm and hurtling out of the North Sound and into the open sea, squinting heroically into the salt spray and barking orders to first mate Stovall with timber-shivering authority.
