COMO Shambhala, Turks and Caicos

Located on the glorious Turks & Caicos, COMO Shambhala is the epitome of barefoot luxury, allowing guests to reconnect with nature and find their inner peace. 

The eight inhabited islands and forty-plus cays of the Turks & Caicos are fantastic alternative cruising grounds for a winter charter

Forming part of the award-winning Turks & Caicos resort Parrot Cay, the COMO Shambhala is more like a retreat than a spa. Ideal for those seeking a Zen-like, relaxing afternoon, it offers holistic, Asian-inspired approaches to mental quietude, physical well-being and spiritual balance.

Jumby Bay Spa, Antigua

Voted the Caribbean's best resort spa in 2022, the Jumby Bay Spa is infused through and through with elements of nature, making you feel calm and relaxed from the very moment you arrive. 

Quietly tucked away from the hum and bustle of the Caribbean, the newly designed spa offers a sublime escape by the sea, that is ideal for a complete day of rejuvenating and relaxing reprieve.

Located on one of the Caribbean's most popular islands Antigua is a great place to embark on a superyacht charter through the Leeward Island chain and the ultimate desert-island idyll.

Jumby Bay is part of the uber-glamorous Oetker Collection (which includes some of the world’s most iconic hotels including the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc and Eden Rock St Barths) and is renowned for being an upscale yet authentic Caribbean escape. 

The spa itself boasts an expansive treatment menu that combines modern therapeutic practices and West Indies traditions, from the Restorative Signature Massage to the Tata Harper organic massage, a guest favorite that combines a nourishing serum of heritage herbs, organic ingredients and extracts from the island’s indigenous Neem tree.

For the ultimate treat, try the luxurious “Castaway Experience” where the resort’s private yacht will transport you to the uninhabited Maiden Island for an afternoon of peace and tranquility followed by a side-by-side massage for two on the soft white sandy beach.

Rainforest Spa at Sugar Beach, St Lucia

Authentic and completely unique, the Rainforest Spa at Sugar Beach is a naturally beautiful tree-top spa, unlike anything else you'll see on this island.

Unlock complete relaxation at the rainforest Spa, somewhere that is like no other place in the Caribbean

Scattered over more than 100 acres of rainforest sloping down to a secluded white-sand beach (imported to replace the volcanic black sand), the Sugar Beach Viceroy Resort has a perfect bay for an afternoon anchorage. Known as the Anse des Pitons, the span of water between the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Piton is one of the most picturesque anchorages in the world.

From here, guests can take the tender to the jetty and step ashore to the Rainforest Spa. Nestled deep in the rainforest, the spa is a maze of traditionally built tree houses.

Seven treatment rooms are connected via wooden bridges, featuring wetrooms, beauty salons, an earthen Amerindian steam dome (Arawak huts of the ancient Carib Indians), and a relaxation pavilion suspended over running water.

Try the Caribbean Glow body scrub followed by a heated lava shell massage where the shells are used on pressure points to relax the body. Follow with a Natura Bisse Facial, which consists of an enzyme detox deeply cleansing the skin. Following your treatment(s), retire to the relaxation room, where the sounds of the native birds and running water will leave you in a tranquil state.

The Hillside Spa, Petit St Vincent

Nestled in the trees on Marni Hill, the Hillside Spa has been designed to blend into the island's surroundings, using local wood and materials. Winding wooden pathways link the treatment rooms, all of which can be closed or open to the elements, and the spectacular hilltop views over the surrounding Grenadines.

A place where hummingbirds dance in the treetops, a warming ocean breeze surrounds you, and scents from fragrant essential oils fill the air

As such, this out-of-this-world corner of the Caribbean is perfect for those cruising the archipelago by motor yacht who want to escape just about everything and experience the Caribbean as it was two decades ago.

The private island is its own self-contained world without towns, roads or shops. It is effortlessly luxurious while at the same time one of the most laid-back resorts in the Caribbean. Instead, the emphasis is on escape and at the very core of this is the Treetop Spa. 

Cotton House Spa, Mustique

Stepping into the Cotton House Spa is like stepping back in time. Indeed, the facility was originally the old cotton warehouse itself and was totally redesigned by the flamboyant British theatre designer Oliver Messel in 1968. Since then, the spa has enjoyed an exacting refurbishment to maintain the opulence of its early days.

The name conjures up images of fresh white fabric billowing in the breeze, and the spa's décor certainly reflects this. A bespoke range of treatments, many of which take inspiration from Mustique’s natural wonders, are available to guests on board visiting yachts.

A blissful experience that leaves you feeling calm and pampered

The exclusive private island of Mustique in the Grenadines is the perfect place for practicing the fine art of limin'  (doing nothing all day). With its renowned history as a retreat during the 60s for English aristocracy, the quaint and idyllic isle has continued to attract the rich and famous ever since.

Just three miles long and one mile wide, the Caribbean island is home to the Cotton House hotel, a number of privately owned villas and cottages, quaint boutiques, the fabulously fun Basil's Bar, and the renowned Cotton House Spa.  

With a Wellness Centre offering meditation, yoga and personal training and a spa that boasts the most relaxing and reinvigorating massages, if you are looking for an easy, chic retreat whilst cruising through the Grenadines then this is the place to go.

Located on the remarkably charming islands of St Kitts and Nevis those on a yacht charter in this region who fancy a hit of style should definitely head to the Four Seasons Nevis for the ultimate pamper and relaxation session. 

A truly magical, peaceful and memorable spa experience

Signature treatments include the Guava Body Wrap and a Rum Tonic Sugar Cane Exfoliation, or, if you are looking for something to share with your partner, try the Aphrodisiac Treatment for Two. The spa menu also includes a range of body rituals, massage therapies,  and facials, using fresh produce grown in the spa's own herb garden.
