My Top-Selling Beach Escapes (and Why They're So Popular)

Written By Krista Nannery

If you've been dreaming of a beach vacation—something luxurious, sunny, and totally stress-free—this list is for you.

These are my top-selling resorts this year, and there’s a reason they’re booking like crazy. Some are tried-and-true icons, some are under-the-radar gems, and all of them deliver that perfect blend of beautiful setting, standout service, and just the right vibe—whether you're celebrating something special or just need to reset with a coconut in hand. Interested? Book a complimentary vacation consultation to talk more.

Remember, by booking through me, you will receive complimentary breakfast for two, priority for upgrade, and a $100 hotel credit.

Prices quoted below are just an estimate for double occupancy rooms after checking a few dates in October and November of 2025. Pricing and availability is always subject to change. Tips and tricks for saving money? Book early. And understand that the best rates will always be found in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Jamaica where the costs of labor are low.

Here’s a quick peek at the 10 resorts everyone wants right now. Note that most of these properties are Virtuoso properties; to get my perks and amenities, you can use the booking links below!

Sugar Beach

🌴 Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort – St. Lucia
Tucked between the Pitons, this spot feels like a private tropical dream. Think private plunge pools, jungle spa, and toes-in-the-sand dinners. Price range: Outside of hurricane season, prices start at $1000 a night.

Grand Velas Riviera Maya

🌴 Grand Velas Riviera Maya – Mexico
All-inclusive—but elevated. Michelin-worthy food, a stunning beachfront, and huge suites make this one of my go-to recommendations for families. There are lots of family-friendly room categories. Prices generally start at $1000 a night. But remember that’s all inclusive! This resort is extremely popular over Thanksgiving and Christmas, just fyi.

🌴 Atelier Playa Mujeres – Mexico
Adults-only and artsy with oversized suites, great dining, and a chic, modern feel. Perfect for couples or girlfriend getaways.

Kimpton Seafire

🌴 Kimpton Seafire Resort & Spa – Grand Cayman
This one’s fresh and fun—great design, beachfront sunsets, and a real crowd-pleaser for families and groups alike. Prices starting around $600 a night.

COMO Parrot Cay

🌴 COMO Parrot Cay – Turks & Caicos
The definition of peaceful luxury. This private island retreat is all about wellness, quiet beach walks, and understated elegance. Great for a romantic weekend but they have a surprisingly good kids’ program as well. Pricing starts at $1300 a night.

Half Moon, Jamaica

🌴 Half Moon – Jamaica
Classic Caribbean, with a long stretch of beach, beautiful villas, and that signature Jamaican hospitality. Bonus: amazing spa and horseback riding on the sand. This is where I want to go! Pricing starts at $500 a night.

Amanyara, Turks & Caicos

🌴 Amanyara – Turks & Caicos
An ultra-luxury sanctuary on a secluded beach. Design-forward, quiet, and effortlessly cool. Ideal for total escape artists. Pricing starts at $2500 a night.

Grace Bay Club

🌴 Grace Bay Club – Turks & Caicos
A long-time favorite for good reason—big suites, great service, and one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. I haven’t stayed here but I’ve toured the facilities and I love it. They also have some great room options for families but they book up quick! Pricing starts at $680 a night.

Cheval Blanc, St. Barth’s

🌴 Cheval Blanc St-Barth
Refined, French island elegance in a glam but relaxed setting. Perfect for honeymooners, couples, and stylish escapes. Rooms from $1500 a night.

The beach at Casa de Campo

🌴 Casa de Campo – Dominican Republic
This resort is like its own mini country—golf, beach, marina, and everything in between. Great for active families and friend groups who want it all in one place. Rooms from $500 a night.

Some of these are already booking into winter (yes, really!), so if one jumps out at you, let me know—I’d love to help you find your spot in the sun.

Warmly,
Krista
