Aruba, Grand Cayman and St. Barts lead list of safe Caribbean luxury destinations

Travel experts compiled a list of five Caribbean islands that combine a U.S. State Department Level 1 travel advisory with high scores on a proprietary Traveler Safety Index. Aruba tops the list with a safety score of 98, offering stable weather outside the hurricane belt and luxury accommodations such as Eagle Beach suites. Grand Cayman follows with a score of 84, noted for world‑class medical facilities and upscale resorts like the Ritz‑Carlton, plus attractions such as Stingray City. St. Barts scores 90 and is described as an exclusive French territory favored by celebrities and leaders, featuring private cliff‑top villas and designer shopping.

The remaining two islands, Anguilla (score 91) and an unnamed fifth destination, are highlighted for their tranquil environments, limited mass‑tourism, and high‑end dining options. All five are positioned as premium choices for travelers willing to spend five figures for safety, freedom to explore after dark, and luxury experiences.
