The Caribbean is a vast and, yes, somewhat scary place - but that doesn't make it any less intriguing.

It's the home of the rich & famous in a lot of ways, and as such, you're likely to find quite a few high-end hotels littered throughout the islands.

Our aim is to look at three of the many that would almost certainly be receiving our bookings if we ever won the lottery - or if we ever decided to sell a body part in order to get a whiff of that fresh Caribbean air.

There are places which may be viewed as more practical, but the allure of destinations like this can be too much to handle, and it's not exactly hard to understand why.

3 Sublime Samana, Dominican Republic

Via: Uncommon Caribbean

Not only are these beach casitas set against an utterly remarkable background, but they're also perfectly symmetrical which certainly makes for an incredible visual.

The Dominican is a mystifying place and Sublime Samana truly does live up to that reputation. Oh, and above all else, it's tremendously unique.

2 Le Sereno, Saint Barthélemy

Via: Sereno Hotels

You aren't going to find many folks struggling for cash over in St. Barts.

From discovering sea turtles on the beach to being able to look out onto some of the most tremendous mountains and sights on the planet, Le Sereno represents a destination that has been able to fight back brilliantly following the devastation of Hurricane Irma.

1 Amanera, Dominican Republic

Look at that view and try telling us you don't feel at least a little bit emotional or reflective.

Above all else, there's a certain 'serenity' to proceedings that you're just not likely to find anywhere else. When the sun sets over this resort there aren't really too many things to be stressed out about.
