Despite a still tricky, if rebounding, real-estate market, several luxury hotel brands are throwing caution to the tradewinds with splashy new Caribbean resorts. After a long delay, the Viceroy Anguilla finally made its debut last month, joining the sleepy little island’s outsize collection of high-end hotels. (The Moorish-inspired Cap Juluca still reigns supreme, while the much-touted developments of Temenos and Rendezvous Bay have stalled.) At this latest Viceroy, situated on Mead and Barnes Bays, Kelly Wearstler has created ultradecadent penthouses suites, cabana-lined infinity pools and multiple lounges, among them the Half Shell, carved out of the side of a cliff.

In the Turks and Caicos, where construction seems to continue unabated on Grace Bay Beach (for better or worse), the new Veranda Resort, managed by the company that owns the chic Grace Bay Club, begins accepting guests Feb. 1. It might siphon off some of the jet set who’ve been holing up at the nearby Gansevoort Hotel, but probably just a little — the chainlet’s third outpost after New York and Miami has been going strong since last spring.
