First, it’s situated on a 12-acre peninsula on Tortola, know for being one of the more laid-back islands in the Caribbean and is often described as “nature’s little secrets.” The property decided to forgo a large hotel and instead offers just nine one- and two-bedroom cottage villages all surrounded by tropical gardens. If you decide to make your way out of your stunning beach view room, a secluded beach awaits.

Located eight miles off the coast of Puerto Rico, Vieques Island doesn’t even have a single traffic light and locals can still be spotted traveling by horseback on the island’s Paso Fino horses.

In fact, the limited availability of private land has kept large development and cruise ships off the island and helped to keep Vieques relatively undiscovered making it the island’s crown jewel.
