Caribbean
Sun-Drenched Islands with Soul, Colour and Endless Charm
The Caribbean is one of those places I never grow tired of returning to. Each island has its own rhythm, its own flavours, and its own way of wrapping you up in sunshine from the moment you arrive. The colours seem brighter here: turquoise waters that sparkle like glass, lush green hills rolling into golden shores, and sunsets that paint the sky in impossible shades of orange and pink. And then there’s the warmth of the people – friendly smiles, easy laughter, and a relaxed pace of life that makes you breathe a little deeper.
What keeps me going back is the sheer variety. One day you can be snorkelling above coral reefs alive with colour, the next you’re wandering through colonial streets, sipping local rum, or hiking through tropical forests alive with birdsong. The Caribbean is indulgent, vibrant, and endlessly welcoming – a place where every trip feels like the best version of a holiday.

Unforgettable Caribbean Experiences
Barbados
The Island of Laid-Back Luxury
Barbados is the perfect blend of relaxed beach living and refined island style. With its sleek west-coast resorts, powdery sands, and calm turquoise bays, it’s ideal for couples, families, and anyone who loves a touch of luxury with their sunshine. Venture inland and you’ll find colourful villages, lush countryside, and the welcoming Bajan spirit everywhere you go.
St Lucia
Romance and Adventure Wrapped in Lush Green Peaks
St Lucia has a beauty that feels almost cinematic. The Pitons rise dramatically from the sea, rainforest trails wind through lush hillsides, and secluded coves offer some of the most romantic spots in the Caribbean. It’s an island that suits both adventure seekers and honeymooners, with activities ranging from hiking and hot springs to beachfront fine dining and private sunset moments.
Antigua
An Island with a Beach for Every Day of the Year
With 365 beaches – one for each day – Antigua is a dream for anyone who loves soft sands and calm lagoons. The island has a wonderful balance of easy-going charm, great sailing culture, and historic sites like English Harbour. Whether you’re seeking a resort escape or a trip filled with island-hopping and exploring, Antigua delivers the classic Caribbean experience.
Island-Hop If You Can
The Caribbean is a collection of distinct personalities, and even short hops between islands can give you a completely different experience. Pair Antigua with Barbuda, St Lucia with the Grenadines, or Barbados with St Vincent for an amazing duo.
Get Out on the Water
The Caribbean is best appreciated from the sea. Catamaran cruises, snorkelling trips, and even a simple paddleboard session give you views you just can’t get from land. The water is incredibly clear, making it perfect for spotting turtles, rays, and vibrant marine life.
Embrace the Local Cuisine
Caribbean food is rich, flavourful, and rooted in tradition. Try flying fish in Barbados, pepperpot in Antigua, or callaloo soup in St Lucia. Don’t skip the beach shacks either – some of the best meals I’ve ever had were cooked a few feet from the shoreline.
Don’t Rush the Evenings
Sunsets here are an event in themselves. Find a west-facing beach, grab a cool drink, and settle in. The sky changes colour by the minute, and it’s the perfect way to let the island’s slow, soothing rhythm sink in.
