Top Black-Owned Hotels and Resorts in the Caribbean
For the traveler who wants to support Black-owned businesses, resorts in the Caribbean — typically owned and managed by some of the largest multinational hospitality behemoths in the world — might not seem like the most obvious choice. But Black-owned hotels in the Caribbean are not just a growing and thriving section of the region's tourism industry; they're also some of the most desirable destinations in the region.

Spice Island Beach Resort
Grenada
In the Caribbean, there are luxurious places to stay, and there are properties like the Spice Island Beach Resort that nearly redefine the concept. On the edge of Grenada's famous Grand Anse Beach, the Spice Island resort comprises 64 suites, ranging from beachside rooms to mini-villas with private pools. Restaurants and a spa complement the all-inclusive experience at the Black-owned six-star resort.
Anguilla Great House Resort
Anguilla
Caribbean travel guides often overlook tiny Anguilla, a 16-mile-long spit of land with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. But the little island scores big for hospitality. Fronted by the white sands and crystal waters of Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla Great House Resort is the archetypal Caribbean beachfront property. Owner Conrad Walton Fleming didn't just found the business; he planted the first coconut trees on the property.
Half Moon
Jamaica
Billionaire businesswoman Sheila Crump Johnson co-founded BET and is the CEO of Salamander Hotels and Resorts, which owns some of the most elegant and luxurious properties in the global hospitality industry. A jewel in Salamander's portfolio, Jamaica's Half Moon is one of the largest and most captivating of the Montego Bay all-inclusive resorts, with a private beach, spa, fine dining, and 400 beautifully curated acres of land. Committed to giving back to the local community, Half Moon also offers discounted rates and packages for locals.
La Créole Beach Hôtel & Spa
Guadeloupe
There are Black-owned hotels worth staying in all over the Caribbean, but they remain more common in the English-speaking islands. La Créole Beach Hôtel & Spa on Francophone Guadeloupe's Grande Terre is an exception to that rule. The four-star resort includes a spa, restaurants, and a stunning seaside location on one of the Caribbean's most underrated islands.
Stonefield Villa Resort
St. Lucia
A cluster of luxury properties on a St. Lucian mountainside, Stonefield Villa Resort gives you an elevated view of the Caribbean Sea and St. Lucia's majestic Pitons, mountainous peaks that are irresistible to hikers and photographers. With a spa, several swimming pools, a gourmet restaurant, and many hammocks, some guests never make the 10-minute drive down to the nearest beach.
