Stretching
in an arc from the south of Florida to the northern
tip of Venezuela lie the beautiful Caribbean islands
– where the beaches are so white and the
water so such incredible shades of blue. All over
the Caribbean life is slow and relaxed, and the
people friendly. Make time to unwind and rejuvenate
your body and soul.
Hidden Corners of the Caribbean are particular
charming small hotels and hideaways. Properties
that may not boast extensive recreational or dining
facilities but which more than compensate for
this by their special settings, personal service
and distinctive West Indian ambience.
For that little bit of something special.
From the French West Indies of St.Martin and St.
Barths to Necker Island in the British Virgin
Islands to the glamorous island of Mustique you
can find that little piece of island paradise,
accessible only by private boat or helicopter.
Luxury accommodation, spacious cottage suites
that lie close to the shoreline, or fully staffed
private villas that offer an all-inclusive basis,
from champagne breakfast to lobster beach barbecues.
Romantic escapes. Enchanting beaches. For those
who enjoy being close to nature and away from
organised activities. Experience the pure elegance
of these relaxing tropical hideaways.
Thirty-two
islands offer a variety of topside and underwater
terrains. The diving in St. Vincent and the Grenadines
is relatively unknown, yet the islands' reefs
offer a diversity and density of life and underwater
terrain found no place else in the Caribbean.
Each island is unique and offers its own style
of diving, dive sites and operators. Most of the
shops provide PADI and/or NAUI instruction, certification.
Experienced, well-travelled divers and underwater
photographers rave over the treasures to be found
in these islands and make St. Vincent one of their
Caribbean diving experience. Other popular dive
islands are; The Cayman Islands and Turks &
Caicos.
All
over the Caribbean hotels offer all inclusive,
arrangements for families, couples or singles
of any age. The all-inclusive option offers a
variety of amenities and facilities depending
on each hotel. The meals included are breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. Some hotels offer afternoon
tea and some unlimited amounts of house wine or
daily snacks. Almost all of them offer the water
sports facilities free of charge, such as snorkelling,
kayaking and paddleboats, as well as other daily
activities and entertainment programmes. Some
hotels offer golf, massages and spa treatments.
It is vital that you check each hotel and island,
to make sure your holiday fits your needs.
Seven
hundred islands and cays scattered over the Atlantic
Ocean – that is the Bahamas. There are attractions
for every taste. Extravagant shows and top class
shops provide a marked contrast to the island’s
marvellous beaches, palm forests and prehistoric
caverns. Days filled with sporting activities
or evening exploring chic casinos. You can’t
help but fall in love with it all.
There is no other island like Bermuda. Famous
for its pink sandy beaches beckon those in search
of absolute relaxation. Sport lovers will revel
in the challenges of the world class golf courses,
or the game fishing or scuba diving. Exciting
days rounded off with fresh lobster and a rum
swizzle.
The Virgin Island and the Grenadines are
just some of the enchanting atolls and archipelagos
that are perfect for cruising. Even if you’ve
never chartered a yacht before you will quickly
feel at home in the hands of an experienced crew.
Imagine a morning spent island hopping before
anchoring off some remote Robinson Crusoe beach
to snorkel over teeming reefs. No regimented activities
or timetables…just the absolute freedom
to go as you please.
One of the most difficult decisions will be which
island to sail to next: a secluded bay, a lively
marina, or just relaxing on board.
Luxury comes in all shapes and sizes, there is
a wide choice of yachts and catamarans and water
sports include water skiing, scuba diving, fishing
tackle and windsurfs.
Alternatively enjoy a Royal Clipper cruise through
blue seas and lush tropical, volcanic islands.
