巴布達島 Barbuda

Barbuda Belle

巴布達百麗酒店(Barbuda Belle)

On the smaller partner in the two-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, the six-bungalow Barbuda Belle opened in June on a 17-mile undeveloped stretch of pink sand beach. Wood cottages face the sea with canopy-draped four-poster beds, peaked ceilings and generous outdoor living areas with dining tables and showers. The island is frequented by up to 5,000 pairs of magnificent migratingfrigate birds, and the resort offers bird-watching and hiking as well as scuba diving, fishing and sailing and a restaurant that focuses on local ingredients. The hotel closes seasonally and will reopen Nov. 15. Rooms from $890 per night.

Guana Island

瓜勒島(Guana Island)

There are plenty of lavish private island resorts in the Caribbean, but the 850-acre Guana Island in the British Virgin Islands appeals more to nature lovers than party people. For nearly 40 years, the family-owned resort, which encompasses 18 cottages and villas, has invited scientists to the island to conduct research, resulting in the re-establishment of roseate flamingos and bridled quail-doves in its wildlife sanctuary, among other accomplishments. Guests can explore seven beaches and numerous hiking trails on the island, take a tasting tour of the fruit orchards and, in January, participate in the resort’s first food festival, which will celebrate island-grown produce. Rates from $695, including meals.

加勒比海有很多豪華的私人島嶼度假村，不過英屬維爾京羣島上佔地850英畝的瓜勒島，更容易吸引自然愛好者而非派對愛好者的目光。這座由18棟小屋與別墅構成的度假村系家族經營，在近40年的時間裏，業主一直在邀請科學家們到島上進行研究，從而促成了玫瑰色火烈鳥和白眉鶉鳩在當地野生動物保護區的重新定居，以及諸多其他成就。遊客可以探索島上的七處海灘和多條徒步小徑，在果園內展開一場味覺之旅，來年1月份還可參加度假村內的首屆美食節，屆時將慶祝島上農產品豐收。客房價格每晚695美元起，含早餐。

Playa Grande Beach Club

普拉亞格蘭德海灘俱樂部(Playa Grande Beach Club)

With sprawling resort developments like Casa de Campo and Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic is hardly off the radar. But the relatively sizable country sequesters pockets appealing to explorers, including the broad, beachcomber-beckoning north coast destination Playa Grande. There, the new Playa Grande Beach Club, opening in November, will offer just nine bungalows on 2,000 acres fronting a mile-long beach (management is mum on future development). The designer Celerie Kemble modeled the cottages, filled with vintage and custom furnishings, on the vernacular wood houses of the island. Each includes a full kitchen, though the central beach club has a restaurant as well as a library and outdoor pool flanked by lattice-framed cabanas. Rates from $800.

自從建成田園之家(Casa de Campo)、蓬塔卡納(Punta Cana)這些佔地遼闊的度假村後，多米尼加共和國便很難爲衆多遊客所忽略。但是這個面積相對來說較大的國家裏，仍有幾處孤地吸引着探險者的前往，包括面積開闊、巨濤拍岸的北海岸勝地普拉亞格蘭德(Playa Grande)。該地新建的普拉亞格蘭德海灘俱樂部將於11月份開業，共計2,000英畝的土地上，僅爲遊客提供9棟小屋，面對着一處一英里長的海灘（俱樂部管理層對於未來發展保持緘默）。設計師克里瑞·肯布爾(Celerie Kemble)根據該島的鄉間木屋設計了這些小屋，裏面擺放着復古風格的定製傢俱。每棟小屋均配有設備齊全的廚房，但中央海灘俱樂部也設有餐廳以及圖書館和露天游泳池，旁邊建有一溜格子式的簡便小屋。客房價格每晚800美元起。

Laluna Resort

月亮女神度假村(Laluna Resort)

This summer, JetBlue began offering twice-weekly flights between KennedyAirport in New York and Grenada, making the so-called Spice Island slightly more accessible. There, the laid-back boutique resort Laluna has just added seven three-to-five-bedroom villas, each with an infinity pool and access to a private beach. For those whose housing requirements are more minimal, 16 Asian-accented cottages feature outdoor showers, carved teak day beds and plunge pools on the decks. The Italian owner imports olives, wine and cheeses from back home, and the hotel channels a Zen vibe with daily yoga classes in a beachfront pavilion and a three-treatment-room spa with Balinese therapists. Rates from $425.

今年夏天，捷藍航空公司(JetBlue)開始每週安排兩趟航班，往返於美國紐約肯尼迪機場與格林納達之間，讓大家進出這座俗稱“香料島”的地方多少變得更方便了一點。島上氛圍悠閒的精品度假村——月亮女神度假村剛剛增建了七棟各有三到五間臥室的別墅，每一棟都擁有專屬的無邊際游泳池和私人海灘。16棟亞洲風格的小屋主要面向對住宿要求不那麼高的遊客，提供戶外淋浴、雕花柚木沙發牀和建在露天平臺上的跌水泳池。度假村的老闆是意大利人，從自己的家鄉進口橄欖、葡萄酒和奶酪運到島上，酒店每天都在海濱的亭子中提供瑜伽課，爲這裏添加了幾分禪意，還有共含三間理療室的水療中心，技師全部來自巴厘島。客房價格每晚425美元起。

Lodge at Pico Bonito

皮科波尼託旅館(Lodge at Pico Bonito)

On the doorstep of Pico Bonito National Park near La Ceiba on Honduras’sCaribbean coast, the 15-year-old Lodge at Pico Bonito plans to add a three-room spa in December, with treehouse-like treatment cottages elevated on stilts in the forest. The jungle spa will dispense massages and other services to guests in need of post-hike recovery after exploring some of its 400 acres or the park next door. Spacious cabins with vaulted wood ceilings come stocked with organic Honduran coffee and furnished with hammocks on the porches, but the real appeal of the lodge is its proximity to the wild, where exotic mammals including jaguars and over 400 species of birds have been spotted. Rates from $225, including breakfast.

已有15年曆史的皮科波尼託旅館，坐落在皮科波尼國家公園（Pico Bonito National Park）的入口處，鄰近洪都拉的斯加勒比海岸城市拉塞瓦(La Ceiba)。旅館計劃在12月份新建一座三室的水療中心，還有架在林木高處的樹屋式理療小屋。這座叢林水療中心，將爲在佔地400英畝的旅館或隔壁的國家公園內徒步漫遊後需要恢復體力的客人，提供按摩及其他服務。寬敞的小屋採用拱形木製天花板設計，屋裏存放着有機種植的洪都拉斯咖啡，門廊處架設着吊牀，不過這間旅館的真正訴求是近距離接觸野外——迄今已在這裏先後發現了多種外來哺乳動物，包括美洲豹和400餘種鳥類。客房價格每晚225美元起，含早餐。
