It’s one of the loveliest discoveries you can make in the Caribbean: the off-the-radar beach hotel, tucked away on its own little stretch of sand, charming and private, unpretentious and uncrowded.

While the region teems with terrific beach hotels, some are harder to find than others — some are closely guarded secrets.

But when you find them, you never want to let go.

Here are 10 secret beach hotels in the region — some you may have never heard of, others you may have never seen. Some are on better known islands, others on remote outposts. But all of them you’ll dream about.

This is the essence of a Caribbean beach hotel: a great beach bar, quiet, tranquil beach chairs and the feeling of total privacy.
