Princess Diana beach, Barbuda
An easterly breeze today gave us a perfect on the beam sail to Barbuda. We're anchored off Princess Diana beach; 5 miles of perfect sand with turquoise sea on one side and on the other low vegetation and the occasional building. One is a Nobu restaurant where a caviar platter with 1oz of Oscetra ccaviaris U$560 and 4 oz A5 Wagyu steak is U$220 or if that's a bit pricey, one piece of tuna sashimi for U$16. Or you might choose the more relaxed Enoch's beach bar 200m away which has whole lobsters with 2 sides for $60.

Point ahead of us is a new development called Nobu Beach Inn which
is under construction in partnership with Robert de Niro and James
Packer. I don't think the target guest will arrive with a back pack
on a helicopter. According to Google one bedroom bungalows cost
U$2,500 a night, but if you like it a lot you can buy one of the 25
private beach front villas for an eye watering $25m. The new resort
is being built to replace the K Club (alleged favourite of Princess
Diana) which was flattened in hurricane Irma in 2017.

For yachts there is no charge to anchor and you can walk the whole 5 miles of beach if you stay below the high water mark. Which is more exclusive and private? A resort or Jackster with 360ยบ views and direct access to your own pool?
