Antigua
Antigua's sugar-white beaches and fabulous coral waters have drawn tourists in ever-increasing numbers over recent years. It is a place for relaxation, watersports, or a combination of both.The inland landscape is rolling and rustic, dotted with crumbling brick chimneys of old sugar mills, which bearwitness to the long colonial era under the British.
Barbados
Beyond the pristine white-sand beaches, the varied watersports and superb golf courses, there is plenty more to occupy the whole family. It has a long list of British quirks and traditions, from afternoon tea, cricket to horse racing. However, it still remains a distinctly West Indian country, peppered with rum shops, endless fields of sugar cane and the swinging rhythms of calypso. Best of all, Barbados is a year-round destination.
Bermuda
The sub-tropical island of Bemuda lies 600 miles off the east coast of America in the Atlantic Ocean and 800 miles north of the Caribbean sea. Bermuda is a watersports paradise: marvel at the diving available at over 400 historic shipwrecks or snorkel around the vast coral reef. For those looking for something a little more adventurous should try big-game fishing, take a Boston Whaler around the bays or you may just like to sit back relax on a chartered yacht.
Jamaica
Jamaica boasts the usual white-sand beaches and blue-green waters of the Caribbean, but it is its dramatic inland scenery that is the added bonus. From the aptly named Blue Mountains, to the spectacular Dunn's River Falls and rafting along along the Martha Brae. The island is a favourite with artists, writers and musicians hoping to be inspired by its scenic splendor and soothed by its laid-back lifestyle and colourful reggae rhythms.
St. Lucia
It is situated between Martinique and St. Vincent and north of Barbados. Its dramatic twin coastal peaks, the Pitons, soar 2,000 feet up from the sea, sheltering magnificent rainforests where wild orchids, giant ferns and birds of paradise flourish. The island's people have eraned a well-deserved reputation for their warmth and charm and the island itself is dotted with aged fortresses, small villages and open-air markets.
