The Caribbean and Mexico are currently the two most popular destinations for American travelers — and on top of that, people are doubling down on fun while traveling. Here is our round-up of some of the best Caribbean beach bars -- so kick off your shoes and pull up a chair!

Pink Bar, Wymara Resort

Situated on a 13-mile stretch of sand, Pink Bar at Wymara Resort & Villas occupies prime Grace Bay beachfront real estate. The playful, rosé-themed Pink Bar is known for putting spunky twists on classic cocktails, earning this watering hole a spot among Turks + Caicos’ trendiest locales. Dig your toes into the powdery sands, or claim a beach bed and let your mind wander with a pink-hued cocktail in hand. Keep it classy with a Roseé Spritz or Rosé Gin & Tonic, or get flirty with a tropical, blush-colored margarita. Soak in the dramatic ocean views and munch on light beach bites that include crusted yellowfin tuna and organic popcorn with truffle oil. On Sundays, a live DJ sets the stage with tropical house and  that pair perfectly with that iconic sunset Insta story.

Eden Rock, St Barths Beach Bar

Sip a cocktail and feel the island vibes...Being the most iconic sandy stretch of St Barths, St Jean Beach is safe haven when it comes to paddle-boarding in the clear-blue sea, snorkeling around the coral reefs, or relaxing under the pervasive warm sun. Redesigned and remade, the new Eden Rock Beach Bar offers ultimate luxury and comfort all around the newly tiered sundeck set directly onto the beach … and then beyond where floats the unmissably much photographed ERock raft.

  

Ocean Lounge, Holland House

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of St. Maarten’s capital, Philipsburg, Holland House sits on the Great Bay Boardwalk just steps away from the turquoise beach waters. Ocean Lounge, their in-house restaurant and bar, offers an intimate yet beloved Caribbean vibe. Guests can enjoy complimentary chaise lounges with a drink in hand, while non-guests can rent two chairs for $25 - and it includes four drinks! The best part? You can order food and drinks from Holland House beach attendants, who will bring everything you need directly to your chaise.

 

Resorts World, Bimini Beach

Opened in May 2021, the 4.5 acre Resorts World Bimini Beach is the ideal location for taking a dip. Home to two expansive lagoon pools surrounded by palm trees, a DJ booth sits at one end of the pools while a bar with porch swings sits at the other. With a tropical drink in hand, guests can immerse themselves in this beach lounge experience while listening to live music and relaxing in poolside daybeds, private cabanas, hammocks, or in-water chaise lounges. For those who want to opt for an ocean swim instead, the beach is just a few steps away. With vibes similar to beach clubs found in Mykonos or Tulum, RW Bimini Beach blends laid back luxury with unrivaled ocean backdrops of the Caribbean Sea.

  

Sandy Island, Anguilla

Anguilla is as remote and private as you can get. Well, almost. There is one Anguilla off-island cay so seductive in its idyllic-tropical-paradise beauty, taking you even further away from stress, hustle and bustle... a visit to Sandy Island is a must-do Anguilla activity. The ultimate barefoot beach bar!

  

Basil's Bar, Mustique

Basil’s Bar is legendary. For nearly fifty years it has been the cultural heartbeat of Mustique where generations of homeowners, royalty, fisherman and rock stars come to let their hair down. Whoever you are, Basil’s welcomes you with open arms for a delicious lunch overlooking the sea, a beer at the bar as the sun sets or a cocktail in between dances at Jump Up.
