Buoy Haus Beach Resort St Thomas Autograph Collection

Perched above Morningstar Beach on St. Thomas, this boutique-style Marriott Autograph Collection resort mixes classic Caribbean warmth with clean minimalist design, and the combination holds up better than it has any right to. An infinity pool and spa anchor the property, but the real draw is that stretch of sand and the clear water beyond it. Coral World Ocean Park is a short drive if you want your reef experience narrated. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
