Five New Hyper-Local Island Experiences in the Caribbean

A Caribbean vacation used to mean staying inside the gates of a resort, feet in the sand and piña colada in hand. No longer. There’s a new world of reasons to explore farther afield.

Highlights
Rue Samuel Fahlberg, Gustavia, St Barthélemy
The menu at this high-end French-Japanese fusion restaurant in Gustavia runs the gamut from classic (tuna tataki, duck confit) to creative (the Kova’s Roll, made with spiny lobster and asparagus, topped with salmon and avocado). The personable chef, who’s responsible for lavish flourishes such as Kobe beef and Petrossian caviar—this is the island of extravagance, after all—will likely stop by your table. oregarestaurant.com
