Travel + Leisure Names Secret Bay Among the 500 Best Properties in the World

While the travel industry has certainly been disrupted over the last year, our promise to our guests and values have only been strengthened. Travel + Leisure recognized this continued pursuit of excellence by naming Secret Bay among the “500 Best Properties in the World.” Travel + Leisure writer Scott Bay calls this group of properties a “list of dream hotels in the best destinations across the globe.” 

This year, Travel + Leisure staff derived the top 500 list based on the 2020 survey—in which Secret Bay was ranked the #1 Resort in the Caribbean and #6 Hotel in the World by Travel + Leisure readers. Travel + Leisure highlighted our private villas, surrounded by “lush, dense vegetation” and the feeling of being “the only person for miles around” as top differentiators.

As for what special qualities Secret Bay shares with the rest of the properties on this list, Bay notes that, “each hotel demonstrates a commitment to excellence, embodies the best qualities of its community, and offers an unparalleled experience — from amenities to on-site activities.” Learn more about our commitment to excellence and our community here.

Being recognized by discerning publications and travel experts as a premier travel destination is an honor, but to be recognized by our guests—those who could travel anywhere and choose to stay at Secret Bay—is the highest of distinctions.
