The Caribbean Holidays

UNESCO-listed sights, mountains cloaked in rainforests, and streets lined with ramshackle rum bars – holidays to the Caribbean give you a tropical getaway with a twist.

Holidays to the Caribbean

Think of the Caribbean and you’ll likely picture white-sand beaches, tall palm trees and turquoise seas. And you’d be right – this cluster of islands does some of the best beach breaks in the business. It’s not all about sand and sea here, though. You’ll also find tropical landscapes, plenty of culture and an infectious party spirit.

Aruba Floating

15 miles off the coast of Venezuela is Aruba, home to some of the longest, whitest beaches going. It’s part of the Netherlands, so there’s a bit of a Dutch feel, particularly in the colourful capital, Oranjestad.

Barbados

Barbados is much more than just rum and Rihanna. Head to this laid-back island and you’ll find beachfront cricket pitches, UNESCO-listed sights, and one of the best party streets in the Caribbean – St Lawrence Gap.

Dominican Republic

Holidays to the Dominican Republic, meanwhile, give you standout scenery on a platter. Skirting its edges are long, sandy beaches, while inland you’ll find everything from forests and mountains to mangrove lagoons. The island’s also home to some pretty Spanish colonial towns.

Jamaica

Taking it easy is a way of life in Jamaica. Days here tend to involve swimming off white-sand beaches and lunching on spicy jerk chicken, while evenings are all about reggae bars and rum cocktails. If you fancy something a bit different, there are 18th-century plantation houses and grand old mansions to visit.

AT A GLANCE

  • Stretch out on a white-sand beach
  • Sip rum cocktails at a beachfront bar
  • Explore the islands’ lush landscapes

WHEN TO GO

Temperatures in the Caribbean range from hot to even hotter – the mercury on these islands tends to hover in the high 20s even in the winter. Summertime in the more northerly islands – Jamaica and the Dominican Republic – gets even hotter, with temperatures climbing into the 30s. Summer is also when you’ll see the most rain, although it tends to come in short, sharp bursts in the afternoon or evening. Hurricane season falls between June and November, but severe storms are pretty rare, and Aruba sits completely outside the hurricane belt.
