Going with the kids? Sleeping 6-8 guests, this cottage is ideal for a family with small children as two of the bedrooms are interconnected. The extensive garden makes a great spot for some lawn games – why not whip out the croquet set and have a family tournament? Loser jumps in the pool…

Comprising a gorgeous pool with sunbathing platform and hot tub, a large barbecue and covered dining space, and gorgeous interiors.

The bedrooms are placed on the ground floor, making it a leisurely morning stroll straight to the pool deck, while the upper terrace is where you’ll want to be to catch the magnificent sunsets.

5. Westcoast Penthouse, Barbados

Sleeps: 8

Above a sheltered cerulean cove on Barbados’ west coast, Westcoast Penthouse brings contemporary Caribbean living into its most effortless register. This top-floor residence is all calm neutrals, curated artwork and soft natural textures, with generous open-plan spaces that drift easily towards private terraces and uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. Oversized glass doors slide back to let the tradewinds move through the penthouse, blurring the line between indoors and out, while the ocean holds the room in a constant wash of blue.

6. Sancocho, Dominican Republic

Sleeps: 12

Set within the prestigious Casa de Campo resort on the Dominican Republic’s south coast, Sancocho is a striking six-bedroom villa overlooking the iconic Teeth of the Dog golf course.

7. Villa Zanmann, Jamaica
