From the Mykonos-Ibiza Mediterranean beach-club register to the Riviera-Maya Yucatan-coast cluster and the Caribbean private-island anchors.
The structural beach-club luxury hotel is the working day-bed-and-DJ anchor — the property runs a structurally world-class beach-club programme with day-bed-and-cabana booking, structured DJ-and-music programming, and the working soft signal that the beach club is destination-worthy in its own right. The working primary clusters are: the Mykonos-and-Ibiza Mediterranean beach-club cluster (Nammos Mykonos, Scorpios Mykonos, Nikki Beach Ibiza), the Riviera-Maya Yucatan-coast cluster (Rosewood Mayakoba, Belmond Maroma), the St-Tropez Mediterranean (Cheval Blanc St-Tropez, Pampelonne Beach club cluster), the Caribbean cluster (St Barts, Anguilla, Turks and Caicos), and the Bahamian-and-Atlantic-Coast alternatives.
The structural beach-club luxury hotel cluster is anchored by the Cheval Blanc St-Tropez (Pampelonne Beach), the Nammos Hotel Mykonos beach-club integration, the Rosewood Mayakoba El Pueblito beach club, the Belmond Maroma Riviera Maya, the Sandy Lane Barbados, and the structurally distinct independent beach-club hotel cluster.
Editors picked the structural beach-club luxury hotel anchors. Choose by working coast — the Mediterranean-French-Riviera anchor, the Mykonos-Ibiza Aegean cluster, the Riviera-Maya Yucatan-coast, the Caribbean private-island, or the Bahamian-and-Atlantic alternatives.
