1. St. Lucia
St. Lucia is most famous for its chalk-colored and expansive beaches. When visiting this luxurious island, you’ll find it hard to pick from many exotic resorts, hiking activities, and volcanoes. You’ll never want to stop soaking up the glorious sun at Reduit Beach, nor want to stop admiring the drive-in volcano at Sulphur Springs, the only one of its kind.
If you’re looking for a romantic getaway or an intimate escape for you and your partner, you’ll find a handful of isolated resorts to choose from.
2. British Virgin Islands
When looking for the best destinations in the Caribbean, your next best choice is the British Virgin Islands. Although 60 islands are underdeveloped, you will discover many famous places, such as Tortola.
There will be endless lush green forests, mountainous cliffs, and white sandy beaches to explore. You can also enjoy a wide range of water sports, including water skiing and kayaking.
You could head over to the Baths on the British Virgin Islands for a more picturesque shore. This destination is especially ideal for those who prefer a more serene environment and flatter terrain.
3. U.S Virgin Islands
If your next holiday includes island-hopping plans, you should consider including the U.S. Virgin Islands in the itinerary. It consists of three gorgeous islands, including St. Croix, St John, and St. Thomas, with St Croix being the largest.
This island is also famous as a honeymoon destination because of the private exotic resorts you will find here. But there’s no reason for other nature-loving vacationers to choose this destination too. With plenty of scuba diving opportunities in the clearest blue waters, beautiful architecture, and cultural scenes spread across the 22 miles of the island, this is a befitting holiday destination.
4. Barbados
Not sure where to head in the Caribbean for your next holiday? Well, Barbados is the easiest choice to make. But don’t let the convenience of this destination choice fool you into thinking you’ll be deprived of exciting opportunities.
Barbados is the top choice for some of the most luxurious sandy beaches, palatial resorts, and verdant golf courses. You will not be sure what to include or leave out of your roster, what with the endless range of exciting holiday offerings.
There’s the Mount Gay Rum you have to sample or Harrison Cave with its limestone caverns to explore. Then there’s also the thrilling horse race that attracts visitors worldwide at Garrison Savannah. Or the chance to dance to lively calypso tunes like there’s no tomorrow. Whatever you do, you can count on a memorable experience while in Barbados.
