Caribbean Beach Holidays
Some say that St. Lucia is the most romantic of the Caribbean islands but it is far more than just a beautiful beach. With its gorgeous mountain scenery, visitors can hike through the lush rainforest in Pidgeon Island National Park and visit La Soufrière, set against the majestic volcanic Pitons, is known for its Sulphur Springs and mud baths. While here, go whale and dolphin watching, snorkelling and even take a scenic helicopter tour.
Surrounded on all sides by tropical coral reefs and as many beaches as there are days in the year, Antigua is a true bucket list destination. Visit historic Nelson's Dockyard, which Admiral Horatio Nelson made his base in the 1780s and Shirley Heights, a former military lookout which offers stunning views across the bay. Of course, a visit to the Antigua Rum Distillery is a must.
With cricket as its national sport and a weakness for afternoon tea, there are definite hints of home dotted throughout this tropical island, but that is where the similarities end. The island is home to tranquil beaches, dramatic cliffs and world class golf and some of the best food in the Caribbean. What are you waiting for?
