9 Best Caribbean Private Islands for the Ultimate Escape

Scrub Island Resort, Spa Marina may be just located 1.5 miles off Tortola, the largest island in the British Virgin Islands chain, but once you’ve taken the short boat ride to this compact paradise you’ll forget the real world is anywhere nearby. The resort offers spacious villas, suites, or guest rooms, all sporting clean-lined, modern Caribbean design, and dazzling ocean views; three restaurants, a market, and café, and private dining options like beachside candlelit dinners; and the award-winning hilltop Ixora Spa, whose menu of treatments focuses on Ayurvedic rituals. If all this proves too tough to leave behind, guests can purchase their very own property on the island.
