From glamorous beach clubs to barefoot-chic hideaways, these curated destinations offer the perfect blend of tempting dining, island charm, and easy tender access. Whether you’re an owner, a guest, or part of a charter crew planning your itinerary, this is your definitive guide to the must-visit stops across the Caribbean archipelago.

The Hut, Little Jumby is redefining destination dining with imaginative cuisine and unique experiences—from Caribbean feasts to island sleepovers and live music evenings on Fridays and Saturdays. Nestled on a private island off Antigua’s north coast, this exclusive beach club and restaurant blends laid-back Caribbean charm with vibrant energy. As diners groove to funky soul music, the kitchen cooks up a storm with a globally inspired brasserie menu, packed with seafood dishes—including the famous giant Surf ‘n’ Turf boards. Guests can also book private cabanas or larger beach huts with sunbeds, plush sofas, and private bars. Access The Hut via its dedicated tender service from Antigua’s Barnacle Point or by private tender directly to the island’s jetty.

The Caribbean extension of the Nikki Beach brand is the epitome of barefoot luxury. Located on the idyllic Saint-Jean Beach, Nikki Beach Saint Barth is a sea of all-white sun beds and signature teepees. The globally-inspired menu, crafted by Corporate Executive Chef Alessandro Pizza, features fresh local ingredients and tempting dishes from sushi rolls to coastal cuisine, paired with a curated international wine list. The beach club is open 10:30 AM–7 PM, while the restaurant welcomes diners 12 PM–5 PM. The buzzing venue, which is known for its music and entertainment, also hosts private events—from romantic dinners to weddings—set against panoramic ocean views. 

La Guérite in St Barth’s Saint-Jean Bay anchored in spring 2023 as a complement to the Gustavia Harbor sister and extension of the famed Cannes spot. Ideal for stylish beachside lunches and vibrant gatherings, the beach club and restaurant feature chic tropical-inspired design by Caprini & Pellerin with palm tree-shaded parasols and vibrant décor. The menu, crafted by Greek chef Yiannis Kioroglou, harmonizes Mediterranean and Caribbean flavors—think grilled fish and lobster, burrata with tomatoes, and La Guérite’s signature pasta. Open daily from 10:30 AM, the venue invites guests to book loungers or private cabanas on the beach or tables at the restaurant and lounge bar where creative mixology complements upbeat tunes. 

Yacht guests dropping anchor off Anguilla’s Meads Bay are warmly welcomed at Four Seasons Resort Anguilla. Just steps from the sand, Bamboo Bar & Grill offers an inviting midday escape—think grilled Caribbean seafood, crisp salads, and chilled rosé overlooking the bay. For a livelier scene, head to Sunset Lounge, where Asian-inspired small plates and tropical cocktails are paired with a breezy, DJ-backed ambiance. When the sun sets, SALT offers a refined dinner experience with ocean views and a contemporary menu focused on local seafood. Whether it’s a leisurely lunch in the sun or a meal under the stars, dining here is a highlight for day or night.

Known as “The Lobster Island”, this small private island just off Anguilla is a great lunch stop for those cruising the Caribbean by superyacht. Accessible by yacht tender or helicopter, or via the free ferry from the main island, this laid-back spot offers a simple, well-executed menu of grilled lobster, crayfish, fresh catch, chicken, ribs, or steak. Open Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, the Gorgeous Scilly Cay eatery is an easy-going place to enjoy fresh seafood and a quiet afternoon or a post-snorkel feast. Beyond the beachside restaurant, the island—family-run since 1985—has little more than sand and sea grape trees. Their $5 rum punch is a local favorite and Sundays feature live music. If you’re looking for a casual, no-fuss island experience that’s still memorable, Scilly Cay is worth a visit.
