From secluded coves to lush rainforest escapes, these hidden gems offer a richer, quieter kind of travel.

U.S. Virgin Islands – St. Thomas

St. Thomas, nestled in the U.S. Virgin Islands, offers a perfect blend of natural splendor and vibrant culture. While Charlotte Amalie captivates with its historic charm and colorful energy, the secluded Mermaid’s Chair—where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea—offers a tranquil reward for those willing to hike off the beaten path.

The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas, located on the island’s coastline, offers luxury at every turn with 180 rooms and suites, four beachfront restaurants, a full-service spa, tennis courts, pools, and a private catamaran. With activities for all ages, including the Ritz Kids program, it’s an idyllic escape for families and couples alike.

Isla Mujeres, Mexico

A short ferry ride from Cancún, Isla Mujeres is a peaceful sanctuary defined by turquoise waters, coral reefs, and quiet beaches. Hidden coves and sculpture-lined coastal trails invite exploration, while early risers can witness the first sunrise in Mexico at a clifftop park dedicated to the Mayan goddess Ixchel.

Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Isla Mujeres, Adult All-Inclusive, offers refined barefoot luxury with beachfront suites, personalized service, and cuisine inspired by local Mayan traditions—perfect for those seeking both rest and discovery.

Georgetown, Guyana

A paradise for adventurers, Guyana boasts dense rainforests, powerful rivers, and rich biodiversity. In its capital, Georgetown, the Guyana Marriott Hotel offers a central base with upscale amenities.

Highlights include Terra Mare restaurant—nominated for Best Hotel Restaurant in the 2025 World Culinary Awards—and nearby attractions such as the neo-Gothic St. George’s Cathedral, the Victorian-era Promenade Gardens, and the bustling Stabroek Market.

Riviera Nayarit, Mexico

Beyond the buzz of Sayulita and San Pancho, Riviera Nayarit reveals a quieter coastline. In Lo de Marcos, travelers discover golden beaches, gentle surf, and jungle trails leading to waterfalls and natural clay reserves.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Riviera Nayarit, An All-Inclusive Resort, offers panoramic views, Sierra Madre surroundings, and regionally inspired cuisine. Guests can enjoy both jungle and beach experiences with the Aqua Jungle and River and Tonati Beach Club.

Miches, Dominican Republic

Nestled between sea and mountains on the northeast coast, Miches is a pristine retreat just under two hours from Punta Cana. Playa Esmeralda and Playa Limón offer crystal-clear waters, while inland treasures like La Jalda Waterfall—the Caribbean’s tallest—and Laguna Limón create unmatched eco-adventures.

Marriott Miches Beach, An All-Inclusive Resort, balances comfort and immersion, with distinct zones for adults and families. Spacious suites, curated dining, and wellness experiences make it an ideal base for exploring this untouched Dominican haven.

Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia

In eastern Bolivia, Santa Cruz blends urban sophistication with cultural depth. Its museums, festivals, and culinary scene reflect both indigenous and colonial influences. The city is also a gateway to the Amboró National Park and the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos.

Marriott Santa Cruz offers world-class comfort with panoramic rooftop views, themed evenings, and a prime location for discovering the region’s biodiversity and history.

Mazatlán, Mexico

Mazatlán is a launch point for serene coastal escapes. Isla de la Piedra, a peninsula despite its name, charms with quiet beaches and calm waters. Playa Cerritos, with its golden sand and dramatic sunsets, is ideal for solitude, while Barras de Piaxtla enchants with cliffside views and unspoiled beaches.

At the Courtyard by Marriott Mazatlán Beach Resort, guests can enjoy guided tours of local icons like the Mazatlán Museum and Lighthouse. The onsite restaurant, Don Joaquín, serves fresh seafood and traditional Sinaloan cuisine, offering a full sensory journey of the Pacific coast.

From remote beaches to rainforests rich with life, Marriott Bonvoy’s hidden gems across the Caribbean and Latin America offer travelers something rare: the luxury of discovery.
