A villa vacation is so much more than what is inside four walls. It goes beyond just choosing the right location and how many bedrooms.

The difference between a good vacation and one that is utterly unforgettable comes down to who helps you plan.

The founders of Key Caribe Luxury Vacation Rentals launched their company when they saw a need. They listened to travelers complain that their island—Curaçao, next to Aruba—wasn’t exciting. When they asked further questions, they found that most people were spending a week and not venturing too far from their villas—and definitely not seeing the best spots that locals love.

When Mitchell Poleon and Carmela Klooster started Key Caribe, they wanted to share the Curaçao that they knew and loved. The hidden hiking trails, secret beaches and best restaurants—these are all just a piece of what they share with every guest.

The experience starts when you first make a booking—whether that’s on Curaçao, or on any of the other 14 Caribbean destinations they serve. The full list of Caribbean and Central American destinations they service includes Antigua, Anguilla, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bonaire, Curaçao, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Barts, St. Lucia, St. Martin, Suriname, and the Turks and Caicos.

And if you have no idea where you want to travel? That’s no problem.

Some travelers seek serenity and pristine beaches. Others, fine dining and nightlife. For still others, it’s all about adventure. Or some want a combination. All you need is an idea of what you’re looking for, and Key Caribe will get to work. Poleon, Klooster and their staff know which questions to ask to pair you and yours with the destination that best aligns with your wishes and interests.

From there, everything is tailored to you.

Starting with price. Some travelers might hear the word “villa” and think it’s too pricey. But there’s a vast range of accommodations available. Key Caribe caters to all travelers, whether you’re looking to spend $100 a night in Curaçao for a one-bedroom villa, or $24,000 a night in St. Barts for up to 14 people—or any price in between.

Villas can be right on the beach, or higher up in the hills for sea views from your infinity pool. Many offer indoor-outdoor living with massive sun decks with outdoor dining and lounge areas to accommodate everyone in your group—and even a few more people should you want to do any entertaining.

Options include airport pickup or having a team member meet you at the villa after you’ve picked up your rental car. You can opt for your fridge to be fully stocked with groceries, such as fresh fruit and juices, or Champagne and cheeses. If you want a massage in your villa, just say the word.

Butler service is also an option. Keep in mind that every villa renting for $10,000 a night and more includes full service, which comes with a chef, butler and 24-hour concierge service.

Nannies are also available should you want to enjoy a night out, or even have a chef come in for the night to cook dinner for you and your partner—or the entire group—all while you have childcare taken care of.

The biggest difference with Key Caribe is the attention to detail. Key Caribe has worked with groups for more than 5½ years. They understand that a group of six, 10 or 14 people can have a lot of moving parts. For example, maybe most of the group wants to go deep-sea fishing, and a few in your party get seasick. No problem. They will help you find an itinerary that keeps everyone happy.

What they offer is a wide range of activities and recommendations. They can help you arrange everything from a bachelorette-party getaway to a media tour with artists. Anything you have in mind is possible.

They’re able to make so much happen because their teams of experts are on the ground in each of these 15 locations. You get insider tips from locals because the staff is composed of locals in each location.

So much of what Key Caribe offers depends on you. Every experience is unique to the person asking.

Overall, it adds up to an experience that most of their clientele describe as beyond perfect. In fact, it’s an experience that most people don’t know even exists—and once they know it does, it’s the only way they will see the Caribbean.

For every type of traveler, there’s a resort somewhere in the world ready to cater to your needs. Now more than ever, this is true for Marriott International, which has welcomed a variety of properties into its portfolio since merging with Starwood.

In fact, Marriott International now offers accommodations (more than 7,000) in beloved destinations all over the world for so many types of travelers, and you might not even be aware of them, especially how booking through Marriott International and joining the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program can make your vacations-of-a-lifetime even better, before you even embark.

Here is just a sampling of travelers who can benefit from Marriott Bonvoy and the convenience (and savings) offered by booking directly through Marriott International.

Beach Bums

You’re a simple leisure traveler and you only need one thing to be happy: A beautiful beach. Maybe you’re looking for a combination of relaxation and adventure on the water, so take a water taxi to the private island at Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, where you can also mingle with Aruba’s biggest stars—the pink flamingos.

If you’d like to squeeze in a round of golf between naps in a cabana, the Royal at Atlantis has clubs and shoes ready for your tee time. If all you care about is a great meal following a day spent snoozing on the sand, then the new AC Hotel Kingston’s AC Lounge will provide delicious tapas and creative cocktails.

Solo Adventurer

You’re a brave, bold, adventurous traveler and ready to take on the world—in some cases, literally. Dipping your toes in the ocean offers you no thrills, so your heart is set on visiting captivating jungles or riding the waves of the world’s most popular surf locations, all while catching selfies that’ll make your friends and family incredibly jealous. Costa Rica’s Santa Rosa National Park and Miravalles Volcano are a stone’s throw from El Mangroove, an Autograph Collection property, while Le Méridien Bangkok drops you in the heart of Thailand, where tall-ship tours will show you islands you’ve only dreamed of.

Or surround yourself with the awesomeness of Oahu by grabbing a room at the Ko Olina Beach Club, where guests are just a few miles from epic hiking and biking trails, as well as world-class surfing.

Families with Various Tastes

We know how hard it is to plan a family vacation, especially with children of varying ages, because everyone expects something different. From Florida’s Captiva Island to California’s Coronado Island Resort & Spa, Marriott International offers more than 800 family-friendly travel hotels and resorts with enough amenities to please everyone, from your energized toddler, to parents who would love just an hour to themselves for a quick spa retreat, a round of golf, or just pure, blissful silence.

Bucket-Listers

You’ve spent years, maybe even decades, staring at the same photos of overwater bungalows until you just couldn’t take it anymore. Your lone travel dream has always been to visit Fiji and spend your nights in a lagoon villa, or maybe you’re fine with a beachfront bure. Whatever the accommodation, there’s a property in Fiji that will fit your needs and budget. For bungalows, Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay can fulfill your dream.

Bringing the entire family? Sheraton Denarau Villas has more spacious accommodations. Look out over the beach from your own private patio at the Sheraton Fiji Resort, or kick up the romance by choosing a spa hotel like an adults-only spa studio suite at the Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa.

Newlyweds and Hopeless Romantics

A perfect honeymoon is all about the little things that couples hotels offer that make us forget everyone else in the world. A classic Hawaiian honeymoon awaits in a romantic villa at Kauai Lagoons – Kalanipu’u, or head right from your reception to a week of pampering in Palm Springs, where Triada Palm Springs is set against the San Jacinto Mountains and offers a variety of massage services at Studio M. Your dog is even welcome at the pet-friendly Triada Palm Springs, an Autograph Collection, just in case little Fluffers McScrunchyface was your ring bearer.

Better yet, choose a romantic vacation getaway to a destination you’ve never imagined, such as Mauritius, where the Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa mixes modern elegance and serenity with spectacular accents derived from local elements, all while directing your attention to the stunning body of water from which the resort takes its name. Or, for absolute seclusion, target Thailand’s Nai Yang Beach and check in to the Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, where the lagoon pool offers a front-row seat to the sunset of a lifetime. Your lifetime, together.

Wakatobi delivers everything a traveler expects in an Indonesian getaway without the one thing you won’t miss: crowds.

This private-island resort, just a two-and-a-half hour plane ride east of Bali, fronts a magnificent coral reef at its doorstep, and is home to just 25 bungalows and four villas. In other-words, it’s as private as it gets without buying your own island. Off the grid, yes—but Wakatobi’s attention to amenities and level of service provide so much extravagance that you get the best of both worlds: a natural island escape and a high-end getaway with unlimited pampering, especially for villa guests.

Wakatobi offers four villas, two with two full bedrooms and a private pool, and two one-bedroom models. As if luxuriating in your own secluded retreat weren’t heaven enough, each of the villas comes with butler service. Should you wish for a watermelon mojito or club soda and lime while sunbathing on your own stretch of sand, your butler will bring it to you. Guests of the villas also enjoy the services of a private snorkel or dive guide. This same guide is available to you throughout the entire trip, anytime you wish to scuba dive or snorkel. Your guide will lead you on a swim overtop the resort’s famed House Reef or on boat trips to nearby reefs, all the while pointing out unique fish and critters to help you make the most of your in-water time.

All guests of the resort with dive or snorkeling in their packages can partake in guided snorkel / dive trips from one the resort’s large boats. Every day, the crew brings guests to one of 40 named sites. Plus, all guests can enjoy unlimited snorkeling from shore on the house reef, one of the most renowned in the world for its clownfish, cuttlefish—cousins of the reef squid—schools of bright-pink and orange anthias fish, hard and soft corals in a rainbow of colors, as well as sea turtles, the occasional passing eagle rays and more.

What’s exceptional about the House Reef is that Wakatobi offers a service that few other resorts do. It’s a one-way boat-taxi service that will drop you at the far—or near—edge of the reef, allowing you to snorkel as much as you like, then meander your way back to the beach or the resort’s jetty. Easy.

For both snorkelers and divers, one of the reasons Wakatobi remains a top favorite resort is its seclusion. Situated within the famed ‘Coral Triangle,’ the resort is located in the Wakatobi Marine Reserve, the third-largest marine park in the country. Here, guests of the resort will typically see no other snorkelers/divers for many miles. That means unfettered access to pristine reefs where 500 species of reef-building corals crowd one another, creating habitat for an abundance of macro life, from nudibranchs to robust ghost pipefish. Moreover, the area is home to more than 2,000 fish species, including the exotic mandarinfish with its electric-cobalt coloring, and 15 species of frogfish.

When the day ends on Wakatobi, the colors keep going. On this tiny isle, sunsets—with their wispy bands of pastel pink and fuchsia—are the kind you settle in for. The best perch for taking in the show is the Jetty Bar, where drinks are served at the end of a long dock just a few feet above the waterline. There’s no better place to sip a Wakatobi mai tai or an icy cold beer while snapping sunset photos, relaxing as the pinks fade to black, and a canopy of stars claims the horizon stage. Come day’s end, you’ll also want to take time to plan your next day’s adventure, be it snorkeling or diving, or taking advantage of everything else offered at Wakatobi.

Such as the Wakatobi Spa. Here, treatments include body scrubs, Balinese massage and pedicures, all with products incorporating numerous botanical essences and the resort’s custom spa oil blends, which can be created based on a guest’s desired treatment.

Guests seeking active pastimes can paddleboard, kayak, kitesurf, or walk the Onemobaa nature trail and spy on local birds as well as monitor lizards. Trips to nearby island villages are also offered, allowing guests the chance to experience a bit of local life, including customs and traditions.

Another unique opportunity is a picnic on a private portion of the beach. Resort staff pack a high-end picnic—with sparkling wine and a wide variety of treats—for you to enjoy while playing castaway. For an afternoon, you and yours can enjoy the utmost in seclusion before returning to the resort. Here, you just might realize that as much as the fantasy of your own island sounds incredible, it’s much more satisfying to visit an island that includes the services of snorkel and dive guides, chefs, massage therapists, bartenders, and ecology experts—who, together, create the one-of-a-kind luxury island retreat that is Wakatobi.

Today, St. Barths is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive and luxurious islands in the world.

To get there, public ferries are available daily from St. Martin, and flights are available from various other Caribbean islands. However, if you really want to arrive in style, you need to do so aboard a yacht.

Gustavia Harbour, the main port on the island, is world-renowned for its yachting scene, with the world’s rich-and-famous converging on the island aboard multimillion-dollar mega-yachts. If this is out of your price range, you can get there aboard a private 3- or 4-cabin-yacht through charter companies such as The Moorings.

Pick up your yacht, complete with a professional captain and perhaps a chef if you please, in St. Martin for a week-long-charter and a 3-hour sail will take you directly to Gustavia, the capital city of St. Barths. Easily walkable, this quaint town is immaculately clean and features upscale shopping and dining unique among this region of the Caribbean. In the winter months, a celebrity sighting or two is nearly a guarantee.

From Gustavia, grab a taxi the next day to explore the island’s many beaches, which are among the most pristine and remote in the world. Anse du Colombier, Anse du Gouverneur, Shell Beach, Lorient Beach, and Flamands Beach all await with an exclusive, tranquil feel not found in more touristy Caribbean destinations.

Once you have explored the island of St. Barths, stop by Ile Fourche on your way back to St. Martin. A quiet uninhabited islet only accessible by boat, it makes one feel as though you are truly at the edge of the world. For the more adventurous, climb the hillside for some of the most dramatic scenery around.

St. Barths beckons travelers from all over the world, and to many it may seem unaffordable or simply out of reach. But for savvy travelers, a yacht charter vacation can unlock destinations and experiences that would otherwise be reserved for only the world’s most wealthy travelers. Remember, “A tourist remains an outsider throughout his visit; but a sailor is part of the local scene from the moment he arrives.” – Anne Davison.

Truly the pioneer of the All-Inclusive Resort, Club Med has been on the scene since 1950 when founder Gerard Blitz’s revolutionary vision of offering families unforgettable, stress-free vacation experiences in pristine locales first took shape on the Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Nearly 70 years later, it operates almost as many resorts, or “villages,” in breathtaking destinations around the globe.

Club Med has also expanded Blitz’s vision into something that’s likely more than he could have ever imagined. Today, guests (or GMs – Gracious Members) enjoy full-board gourmet cuisine prepared by internationally trained chefs, an open premium bar, unending sports and activities, entertainment day and night, and more. All this amid refined accommodations and attentive staff (or GOs – Gracious Organizers) whose only mission is to make you happy.

With that kind of lead-in, it’s easy to understand why Club Med has received the 2019 Islands All-Inclusive Awards for being among the best in three categories. Let us count a few more of the reasons why.

All Inclusive, Choices

Reason 1 & 2 You might think “all inclusive” is a given and doesn’t count as a reason, but not all AIRs are created equal. There’s a Club Med vacation experience for every type of resort goer. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a friend, with your significant other or an entire family, you can choose experiences ranging from those designed for the relaxed and peaceful-minded to the pumped-up-for-action sort — and everything in between. Plus, some experiences are unique to Club Med destinations. Take award winners Club Med Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Club Med Finolhu Villas in the Maldives.

Cirque du Soleil Inspired Performances, Circus Playscape, Learning to Fly on a Trapeze

Reasons 3, 4 & 5 As winner of the Best Entertainment category, Club Med Punta Cana is a year-round beach escape in the sun-soaked Caribbean for couples and families that includes an array of activities, day and night, seven days a week. Including one-of-a-kind entertainment featuring themed demonstrations and immersive experiences inspired by world-renowned theatrical production company, Cirque du Soleil. Imagine a 38,000-square-foot playscape where more than 25 circus-inspired artistic and acrobatic activities come alive. At Club Med CREACTIVE by Cirque du Soleil, adults and children can interact with and learn from trained Cirque artists and Club Med GCs (Gracious Circus Artists). Better yet, the artists can also train you in the circus arts, like flying on a trapeze, bouncing on a trampoline, stretching on aerial silks, face painting, juggling and bouncing on the acro-bungee, to name a few. After your workout and before dinner, rejuvenate at the Club Med Spa by L’Occitane and you’ll be ready to continue the fun taking in nightly theater performances.

And now the reason why Punta Cana is a readers’ choice winner of the Best Included Amenity category: Club Med CREACTIVE by Cirque du Soleil is included in your vacation experience at no extra cost. Does “the greatest show on Earth,” ring a bell?

Living Over Crystalline Azure Waters, Private Swimming Pool, Personal Butler, Sunset or Sunrise View

Reasons 6, 7, 8 & 9 Looking for more of a dreamscape vacation with your own private oasis? Like its Caribbean sister resort, Club Med’s Finolhu Villas in the Maldives is all-inclusive — but then some. As part of Club Med’s Exclusive Collection, GMs are pampered with personalized services and hospitality amid luxurious spaces that exceed the imagination. It’s such spaces that have garnered Finolhu Villas the Best Overwater Bungalows award. Not an easy feat in a crowded field — after all, this tropical nation of nearly 1,200 coral islands in the south pacific is home to a majority of the world’s overwater bungalows.

Today, modern, luxurious structures boasting sophisticated architecture and amenities like those found at Club Med Finolhu Villas are a far cry from the rustic hut-on-stilts concept born more than half a century ago in French Polynesia. Perched above the tranquil crystalline azure waters surrounding the private island of Gasfinolhu, each eco-friendly villa has a private swimming pool — and a personal butler who intuitively knows when to make an appearance. Choosing a villa that offers either a sunset or sunrise view is the most difficult decision you’ll have to make.

If you feel inclined to leave the privacy of your magical surroundings, you can begin your days with oceanfront yoga or meditation before soaking up the beauty and wonder of your natural aquatic environment with a myriad watersports. Later, head beachside for a pampering CINQ MONDES spa treatment, gourmet dining or a movie under the stars. All you have to do is return to your villa on the water and wake up to do it again. No, you’re not dreaming.

“All-Inclusive” just gets better and better! Learn more about Club Med’s all-inclusive vacation destinations.

Exceptional is a potent word, yet it’s apt for the countless over-the-top elements at Namale Resort and Spa, an ultra-luxury all-inclusive resort tucked into a 525-acre expanse of beach and jungle. Designed for vacationers of age who delight in being pampered with outstanding service, lodging, food and experiences, Namale Resort and Spa is a retreat like no other on northern Fiji’s Vanua Levu island.

Book a stay at Namale Resort and Spa, and you’ll experience true South Pacific culture blended with the modern touches needed to keep you indulgently comfortable.

Home base during your Namale Resort and Spa stay will be a private bure, or bungalow, facing the rainforest or ocean. You’ll arrive to discover your name on the door and chilled bubbly greeting you within. Local wood and stone create a warm embrace in each one-of-a-kind home away from home, all with plush cloud-like king sized beds and several with private pools. Help yourselves to the unlimited mini-fridge tastes and luxury bath products. You’ll have complete privacy, but friendly staff members will be at the ready to serve custom meals on your deck, wash your laundry, turn down your bed each evening and plan your outings.

With a staff-to-guest ratio of 4-to-1, Namale Resort and Spa always has assistance on hand. The smiles are sincere, and guaranteed. With no more than 42 guests to dote on in 19 bures, Namale Resort and Spa staff says yes to your requests — and anticipates what you want before you think to ask. You’ll be greeted with an enthusiastic “Bula!” regularly, followed by your name. Expect the Namale Resort and Spa team to have your favorite cocktail or coffee drink waiting before you request it. Likewise, the team will keep your bure stocked with your preferred fruit juices, wines and beers — chilled, of course. The culinary crew will create menus of foods you love, whether lobster every single day, all-vegan choices, creative takes on classic Fijian flavors or the western fare you miss. They’ll respect your time alone, book your massages, and plan your itineraries based on your whims and preferences.

Namale Resort and Spa is as much about special experiences as it is intimacy. Simply ask, and you might be treated to a cliffside champagne breakfast with Pacific vistas, a heart-shaped whirlpool tub by your side. Choose instead to picnic just the two of you by a remote waterfall amid lush island greenery, or to share a candlelit sunset dinner on a quiet stretch of sand — or perhaps within a sea cave. The longer you stay at Namale Resort and Spa, the more private dining destinations you’ll get to experience.

Essentially every element except spa treatments are included during your Namale Resort and Spa stay. That begins with transfers to and from the airport, and continues with guided reef walks, snorkeling excursions on the resort’s boat and never-ending pours of top-shelf beverages. All watersports equipment is free for your use, so spend leisurely hours out on the water in or on banana boats and wake boards, stand-up paddleboards and sea kayaks.

Fijian culture is fascinating, and Namale Resort and Spa brings it to you — and you to it — in fun and fulfilling ways. Each evening, you’ll be invited to enjoy cultural entertainment, perhaps by participating in a kava-drinking ceremony or observing a traditional meke performance by villagers of all ages. Indulge in local specialties during Indo-Fijian night, where mendhi and curry flavors abound. Take a complimentary tour of the town of Savusavu, perhaps with a visit to the colorful farmers’ market, where residents shop.

Romantic and scenic, with top-tier service worlds away from the workaday world, Namale Resort and Spa is the place to retreat, relax and rejuvenate. No wonder newlyweds seeking time alone together, and celebrities shunning the spotlight, choose this boutique sanctuary for their escapes.
