From Pink Sands Resort and Casa de Campo Resort & Villas to Secret Bay, these 15 luxury Caribbean resorts turn Labor Day weekend into a final summer escape built around great beaches, private villas and serious resort experiences.
From Pink Sands Resort on Harbour Island to Casa de Campo Resort & Villas in the Dominican Republic and Secret Bay in Dominica, these 15 luxury Caribbean resorts give Labor Day weekend a very different ending to summer. Casa de Campo covers 7,000 acres, while Secret Bay has grown to 27 private villas, two very different versions of Caribbean luxury.
Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 7, which means a Friday-to-Monday trip gives you three nights in the Caribbean; add Thursday or Tuesday and the long weekend starts to feel like a real vacation. It is also late summer in the region, when many resorts are running seasonal packages and the winter crowds have yet to arrive.
A long weekend asks for a different kind of luxury experience. A great beach becomes more valuable, a private pool can replace a day of sightseeing, and a hotel with enough restaurants and experiences can make three or four nights feel surprisingly complete.
Here are 15 luxury Caribbean resorts we like for Labor Day right now.
Pink Sands Resort, Harbour Island
Harbour Island gives you one of the most distinctive beach vacations in The Bahamas, and Pink Sands Resort puts you directly on the island’s famous three-mile pink-sand beach. Cottages, villas and larger homes give the property a residential feel, while Malcolm 51 and Blue Bar & Kitchen keep the experience centered on the resort when you don’t feel like making the short trip into Dunmore Town.
This is the choice when the beach itself is the trip. Spend most of the weekend barefoot, take a golf cart into Dunmore Town for lunch or drinks, and return to the Atlantic side when you want the quieter version of Harbour Island.
