In the know

Our favourite rooms: The upper-level suites have bird’s-eye views of the crystalline waters; the two lower rooms are smaller, but have the advantage of being bang on the beach. All the hotel’s rooms are decked out in cool whites and polished woods, and are finished with a segue of local Bajan and Italian furnishings.
Packing tips: A pair of Jimmy Choos, a pashmina or two, and that more prosaic twilight essential: insect repellent.
Also: Make sure you drag yourself out of bed at sunrise at least once during your stay – that’s when the turtles gather on the beach.

Lone Star Restaurant & Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean[view map]

Style: Beach shack retro retreat
Setting: Dozing on dazzling sands

This boutique Bajan beach hotel’s past incarnation, a 1950s garage, informs its modern-day aesthetic in a big way: rooms named after cars, retro furnishings, staff clad in boiler suites – all coloured in the Lone Star Restaurant & Hotel’s smart signature white and blue.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant: Once the main garage, the restaurant is now a permanently buzzing Barbados institution. Lined with gilt mirrors and touched with retro flashes – we love the rows of cool white ceiling fans – it serves skilful world cuisine with a Caribbean twang.
