At these 10 resorts scattered all over the Caribbean, you’ll feel as if you’ve discovered your own private club, personalized and exclusive. 

Here are 10 to check out right now (all prices sourced either directly from the hotel Web site or Google Hotels, for travel within the next 30 days).

The main pool at Laluna.

Laluna, Grenada Portici Beach in Grenada is set at the bottom of a long, winding hillside road, with the lovely shade of a grove of palm trees and a wonderful, secluded feeling. It’s also home to a funky, cool, unique little boutique hotel with just 16 rooms called Laluna. The property is a slice of the Mediterranean in Grenada, with a selection of rustic-chic cottages and some outstanding Italian-inspired food. It’s a hidden gem. Rates start at around $485 right now.
