Barbados

A scenic island found East in the Caribbean region, Barbados has something to offer everyone. Its pristine beaches are its biggest draw cards, but it also boasts charming colonial architecture, the bustling capital of Bridgetown, vibrant food and culture, and a rich history to explore. There are also numerous botanical gardens and natural landscapes to visit. 

Our favorite spots are Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park, Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Carlisle Bay, St. Nicholas Abbey, and Steam Railway. 

St Lucia

Not far off from Barbados in the East is St Lucia, a unique island known for its spectacular landscapes and serene pockets of nature. 

The beautiful beaches lie along the scenic Piton mountain range and volcanoes. If you enjoy the outdoors, you can spend time hiking to get the best views of the island, or even discover hidden waterfalls for a dip to cool off. 

Our must-see sights when in St. Lucia are Pigeon Island National Park, Marigot Bay, and Diamond Falls.

Turks and Caicos 

A destination for relaxation and opulence, the archipelago of Turks and Caicos is a haven with its stunning beaches as its highlight. 

The archipelago is made up of 40 small islands, so there is no shortage of luxurious resorts to choose from. The crystal waters and white sandy shores make it the pinnacle of perfect beach holidays in our opinion. The islands are surrounded by exceptional coral reefs, making them a paradise for those who enjoy diving and snorkeling. 

Some of our favorite beaches include Grace Bay Beach, Governor's Beach, and Taylor Bay Beach.
