Is there a way to search for resorts in the caribbean with private villas? I don't care if it's all-inclusive or not. Thanks your help.

Most private villas are not part of a "resort", but are private vacation residences. Some are individual homes and some are condo-type apartments. Some are geared mostly to self-catering and some larger villas may come with staff (such as a maid, cook and/or butler). They can range from studio or 1-bedroom units to large, multi-bedroom homes.

In searching for vacation villas you want to normally search for "vacation rentals" rather than "hotels" or "resorts". Two of the bigger websites are VRBO (Vacation Rental by Owner) or FlipKey. Here are the links to get you started. You might start by putting in a particular island you are interested in, rather than just the overall Caribbean. You can also use the filters to focus in on the size of unit and type of amenities you are seeking. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I was just hoping to possibly find something like what they have in the Southeast Asia and Australia area. But I guess there's really only one on RCI even down there. The Avani Sepang Goldcoast

@Shankilicious, off the top of my head a couple villa type resorts come to mind:


The Villas at Stonehaven
Black Rock, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago
Interval code: VSH
icon_select_small.png
(Available as a Getaway)
The villas at this resort look lovely. Right now in the II Getaways there are 2 and 3 bedroom villas available. You will have to fly into Trinidad first and then take a short flight over to Tobago.

Sunset at the Palms Resort
Negril, Jamaica
Interval code: SUP (Getaways)
all_inc_small.png

This is an adults only all-inclusive resort that is situated across the street from Negril’s Seven Mile Beach. I have not stayed here, I’ve only driven by. There are no kitchens in the rooms, there are a few restaurants on property. The units look like treehouses.

Club Caribbean
RCI #0777

St. Ann's, Runaway Bay, Jamaica

Kokomo Botanical Resort & Spa
(RCI #RC84)

RCI Gold Crown

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

Also look into Windjammer Landing Resort in St LuciaI think they have stand alone villas. It’s affiliated with RCI And II. And look into the villas in St John that are near the Westin property. I think some of them have their own pool.
Hopefully others will contribute to the list.

Yes, there are private 3BR villas at the Westin St John, USVI, that have their own private patio and pool. EXTREMELY hard to get with trading company. Best way is to rent from an owner.

La Toubana RCI #3071
Sainte Anne, Guadeloupe
Resort Website

The La Toubana website shows that they offer suites, bungalows and villas. On RCI exchanges it says you will be in a 1 bedroom unit. I’m not sure what that unit will be like but you could call and ask. There is a beach and pool on site.

Marigot Beach Club & Dive Resort (RCI #RF27)

Website
RCI lists Hotel and Studios available in Extra Vacations. The website for the resort lists Studios or Panorama rooms, Suites or Villas.
