Turquoise seas over white coral sand. Palm trees, rainforests, tropical fruit, fine rum and fresh local fish. Waters home to dolphins, sperm whales, humpback whales, rays, turtles and a dazzling variety of colourful fish.

Spectacular sunsets, the sound of drums on the beach and evenings beneath a sky full of stars, with Atlantic waves breaking on distant reefs. Vanilla, anise, sugar cane and the trade winds; traces of great explorers and notorious pirates wherever you turn.

This is a Caribbean holiday.
