Private Paradise: Exclusive Caribbean Beach Experiences

The sound of the waves hitting the sandy white shore, the pelicans swooping overhead, the laughter of your family — the sounds of seclusion when you spend your day ashore at an exclusive beachfront retreat. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has curated a series of outings ashore at some of the most beautiful, secluded beaches in the Caribbean, along with exclusive events for guests to enjoy. 

Grenadine Islands

The southern Grenadine islands are known for their lack of crowds, magnificent natural landscapes and a languor that is sure to relax even the most harried traveler. The private island of Mustique is known as a glamourous getaway for royalty, from those styled with an HRH to kings of rock 'n' roll. 

From the island of Bequia, enjoy a spectacular catamaran trip through the aqua waters past Moonhole, an iconic stone resort built in the 1960s into natural rock formations. When you arrive at Mustique, you'll discover a paradise that has transformed from the playground of the jet-set crowd to an island focused on sustainability and conservation. Enjoy this exclusive and luxurious escape where you can choose between exploring the local stores and restaurants, or relaxing on the pristine shores. 

Arrive early at the Baths in Virgin Gorda, seen above, near where Evrima anchors, and enjoy a morning swim beside an unspoiled, white sand coastline while floating in and out of quiet coves. Massive granite boulders, which comprise the Baths, conspire to form grottoes, arches and tidal pools.

Canouan

Canouan is another island favorite for celebrities seeking a break from the spotlight. With unspoiled natural beauty, both on shore and in the water, there is plenty to see and do from this private beachfront retreat. The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection is pleased to offer guests access to the exclusive Sandy Lane Yacht Club. After tendering to the world class marina, guests will be able to choose from the activity that appeals most to them. For those looking to add adventure into their day, a kayak, surfboard or paddleboard offers a new perspective on the sea, with colorful tropical fish and sea turtles populating the water. And of course, snorkeling will put you even closer to the marine wildlife and is easily arranged for any guest. 

If you are looking for more rest in your day of R&R, then head to the pool at the Sandy Lane Yacht Club, where you can enjoy a meal and drinks under the shade of your personal umbrella before diving into the refreshing water. If the beach is luring you, enjoy the soft sand that Canouan is known for, along with the crystal-clear waters that lap up to the shore. A nap will surely be in order at some point during the day, to ensure you head back to the yacht as fully refreshed as possible. 

No visit for our guests would be complete without our private beach barbeque event, exclusively for those journeying with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Immerse yourself in the wide variety of local fruits and vegetables, taste the tropics in freshly made cocktails made by expert mixologists, and enjoy the delectable bounty of the sea freshy grilled for you. The menu might include anything from grilled lobster tails to saffron couscous to exotic tropical fruits like guava or dragon fruit. As the sun dips toward the horizon and the lush blue sky turns into a vivid pink over the cerulean sea, the quiet of the private beach will allow you to soak up the full extent of the true beauty of the island.

St. Barthélemy

With its scenic harbor and chic French style, St. Barth is a haven in and of itself best reached by yacht. Once you arrive, you’ll find idyllic and exclusive beach clubs dotting St. Barth’s tranquil, white sand coastline, and discover some of the Caribbean’s most pristine — and secluded — beaches.

A soft breeze, a delicious drink, a spectacular view of untouched nature — these are the ingredients for a perfect day ashore. With our exclusive access to private beaches and unique experiences that could only be found through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, we offer our guests the luxury of true tranquility.
