I'm helping my friend plan a milestone birthday trip (she's turning 50). She would like 6 - 10 of her close friends to travel to an island for fun and relaxation. Because of the potential size of our party, we would like to find a resort that has villas on the property. This way, we can have some exclusivity while taking advantage of a resort-style vacation. Most private villas tend to be secluded and we want to be around other people during our trip. Not sure how many of these type of properties exist. Have been doing some research and not finding much. Any suggestions would be very helpful. The only place she is not willing to travel to is Puerto Rico. It's her least favorite destination. However, she would like to keep it to Caribbean/Central America. Thanks.

Some Resorts offering rental villas include:

Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic

Four Seasons, Nevis

Blue Moon Jamaica
Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos
Key west village of Beaches Resort Turks and Caicos (all inclusive)

Cap Jaluca, Anguilla


There are islands that have condo units, 2-3 bedrooms you can get with full kitchens, living areas. Still treated like a resort so you get both worlds (and probably more economical). Turks and Caicos is big for that, some in caymans, Harbour island Bahamas, others.

Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas... Sandals Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios also has a villa on property, but its three bedrooms only. Both are distinctly higher end Sandals properties.

Thanks guys. This is helpful. Although some of these are a little pricey (I've always wanted to travel to Cap Jaluca), it may be more economical with more people. Also, I failed to mention that the trip will be around November 6 (actual birthday) which is prime hurricane season. Maybe we will catch some deals. Thanks again.
