About Caribbean

The turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea are dotted with hundreds of friendly and picturesque islands. A glorious landscape of white sand and tropical scenery, the Caribbean islands may be the world's most perfect piece of paradise. From sunbathing on the beach to dining under the stars, the Caribbean is an ideal spot for a romantic getaway, a relaxing winter retreat, or a fun vacation with the whole family.

If you love water sports, the Caribbean islands are perfect for scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, kayaking, sailing, and swimming, boasting crystal clear water and year-round sunny weather. When it comes to relaxing, the Caribbean knows no equal, with a slew of day spas, secluded beaches, and romantic restaurants. Golfers will find plenty of scenic courses, while kids can enjoy swimming in reef-sheltered beaches. The whole family can find something they love to eat in the Caribbean's many American, French, Italian, or Brazilian restaurants, taking in a meal while listening to the sweet sounds of calypso.

While almost every island in the Caribbean boasts excellent beaches, warm water, and incredible marine life, they are different in flavor and geography. Thanks to the unique mix of people, the Caribbean is home to diverse cultures and cuisines. Forged by volcanoes, some islands are covered with rough peaks and mountain ranges while other islands are flat and non-volcanic, with smooth long shores. While some islands are secluded and romantic, others offer a lively collection of restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
