It’s time to throw all your worries out the window and pack your bags for a memorable trip to the Caribbean. Dusted with powdery sugar sands, floating with sparkling cyan waters, and shrouded in the deep rainforests is the definition of the Caribbean world.
Whether you are looking for a stress-free hideout or hunting for some adrenaline rush, the Caribbean is the perfect spot to get laid down for a while. In this blog, we will uncover some of the breathtaking destinations you must visit for a rejuvenating time. After all, you only live once right?
Barbados
With its jam-packed richness combined with a plethora of luxurious accommodations, Barbados hits the top of the list. Don’t get deceived by its small area measuring up to 25 kilometres only. This tiny island hides a powerful punch, offering you diversity in style.
A long chain of wallet-friendly motels combined with a scenic open-front view of clear water might be your dream spot to finish reading that book. Imagine, laying on a hammock with a novel in one hand and an iced mojito by the side.
Barbados is a heavenly place for families. You can run along the sandy shores washed away by crashing waves on Miami Beach. A popular go-to place for the locals for its bustling surroundings and calming seas.
Oozing with wild nightlife around a bonfire, you can order rum shots to topple off with partying. Time to get all boozed up!
If you wish to take the road “one less travelled by”, then head towards the east coast island to get to know yourself better. However, if you want to ride the waves then surf at Bathsheba. (This is not the Bathsheba from the Conjuring series to haunt your night!).
Bahamas
Next in line among the must-see destinations in the Caribbean Island is the Bahamas. Engulfed with more than 700 islands, the Bahamas brings the opportunity to tick off one island each day. If this sounds too overwhelming, get laid back on the Pink Sand Beach. Located 3 miles long on the coast of Harbour Island, this flamingo-coloured water is made from broken tiny pink and white micro creatures and rocks. Its cooled snowy sand helps you beat the heat.
In case your stomach dials the emergency hunger pangs, you can grab a quick snack from the food trucks nearby and enjoy the delicious flying fish under the umbrella.
St. Lucia
Named after the Chinese martyr Saint Lucy, this place is an emblem of wonders. Its cinematic falls, reef exploring spots, and high peaks will spice up the things between you and your partner.
Enjoy living life on the edge? Then check out the volcanic beaches. St. Lucia welcomes you to trail off on a hiking venture between the famous twin towers of Pitons in sight.
Embark on the thrill side of life with ATV bikes. Or even experience an eagle-eye view with an aerial tram. The choice is all yours! Drown your anxiety with a therapy bath at Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens. (Yes! Who knew therapy could be this cheap)
Dominica
Often mixed up with Dominico Republic and nicknamed “Nature’s Isle”, Dominica is a heaven option for you to get close to nature. Brimming with steep, sharp oceanside cliffs, it is home to the Caribbean’s longest hiking trail.
Need a spa day with a sauna? Enter the Valley of Desolation or head to Champagne Reefs for a toe-dip in steaming hot springs (or maybe not!). These natural sauna baths are formed by the volcanic thermal springs rising from the seabeds. Dominica is a great place to unwind in tranquillity.
Anguilla
Wishing for a cherishing romantic getaway? Then Angullia is the route for you to create memories with your partner. A mosaic of colourful villages shadowed in the balmy waters makes Angullai a sun-kissed place.
With no casinos in view and a queue of eat-outs, you can savour deep conversations with your spouse. Take in the intricacy of fine dining in a coquet candle-light setting to make your night a fairytale come true.
Having more than 30 beaches in total, you can dive into underwater expeditions like snorkelling. A die-hard fan of summiting the peaks? You can increase your heartbeat by cliff-jumping (try not to close your eyes).
Antigua
A haven to 365 beaches- every beach for one day a year, Antigua is a must-visit tropical destination for you. It makes an ideal spot for enjoying “alone time” due to its uninhabited beaches, hidden in mystery. For a more enthralling time, you can sail towards a captivating sunset and a beautiful tomorrow- in your very own sailboat.
Still not satisfied? You can check in at Dickenson Bay Resorts to enjoy a panoramic view of the sunset.
Interested in a history lesson? You can visit the Nelson Dockyard situated in the English Harbor. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 1700s.
Grenade
Sitting at the bottom eastern Caribbean chain, Grenade is the most peaceful destination place to choose from. Renowned as the Spice Island, you can indulge in the flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Laced with dense rainforests and calm crystal-clear water, Grenade is the hotspot for families.
Let yourself go into the shimmering beauty of the calm blue seas. The soothing crackling sound of waves meeting the shore is a piece of music for your ears. Sunbath on the soft, velvety sands of Palm Beach.
Roam around the picturesque town of St. Georges to see the multi-coloured architectural sites. Quench on coconut water and soak up the wonderful atmosphere.
Jamaica
Do you love tapping to the beat of the loud music? Jamaica is the loudest and wildest destination you need to visit (Don’t forget to keep your earplugs on standby). With its upbeat music, you can find your inner Micheal Jackson and let loose.
Apart from the beaming musical nights, you can appetize Jamaican cuisine like oil drum jerk chicken with rice. From Ocho Rios to Nergil, Jamacia promises an unforgettable Caribbean adventure.
Aruba
Spend your time building castles on sand (or in the air even!), basking under the bright sun, and swimming with the marine life on the tiniest island- Aruba. With a moderate temperature of 29 degrees all around the year, Aruba makes a perfect vacation destination.
As the name implies, Baby Brach is a treat for young kids to waddle in the water, splashing it around. Donkey Sanctuary, Aruba’s Water Park, and Butterfly Farm are some of the top picks for teenagers.
Need a wallet-friendly holiday? With its reasonable hotel prices and highly affordable cuisine, Aruba is the most favourite destination for tourists.
Cuba
Are you a vintage car frenzy? Then, you can drift on the cobblestone roads of Cuba. You also dance your breath out on salsa and eat nachos with salsa to regain your energy.
Havana, the capital city, is a magic for senses. You can explore the technicoloured colonial architecture of Old Havana or relish the vibrancy of Plaza de Armas. Don’t miss a chance to try a classic Cuban cocktail like a mojito or a daiquiri if you are into getting drunk.
Beyond Havana, Cuba gives you a whole set of wonderful experiences. You can check out the lush tobacco plantations at the Vinales Valley, where skilled farmers hand-roll cigars (How about try rolling one yourself?). Do a “cannon-ball” into the crystal-clear waters of the Jardines de la Reina, teeming with marine life. Or simply relax on the warm sands of Varadero Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.
Whether you’re a history geek, a culture pirate, or simply seeking a relaxing breakout, Cuba is the ultimate pit-stop for you.
