The Caribbean is famous for white sand beaches, azure blue seas, vibrant coral reefs, lush jungles, waterfalls, volcanic peaks and colonial townships. The sea sites between North and South America, and a Caribbean getaway can be a relaxing retreat attached to a longer holiday, or a standalone escape.
Mexico borders the western side of the Caribbean Sea, and has an astounding number of resort towns and the remnants of ancient civilisations. Venture to the Pacific coast for a slightly different seashore experience complete with excellent surfing.
Some of the more famous Caribbean island destinations include Cuba’s 1950s-style streets, the laid-back cities of Jamaica, Bermuda’s pink beaches, and the Blue Holes around the Bahamas. Explore Santo Domingo’s old town in the Dominican Republic, the 365 beaches of Antigua, the rum distilleries on Barbados, and the spice markets of Grenada.
Don’t forget to check out some of the lesser-known getaways for quieter holidays or specialty offerings such as the mud baths in St Lucia’s drive-in volcano, Aruba’s windsurfing paradise, and Tobago’s sea turtle nesting beaches.
