Sun-kissed and cooled by gentle trade winds, the Caribbean, or West Indies, is America’s backyard playground. Known for its sandy seashell-strewn beaches, high-end hideaways and sumptuous spas, the Caribbean is an island chain 2,500 miles long with more than 7,000 islands, reefs, and cays, both independent nations and affiliated territories of France, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Spain.
Find your own private paradise for an intimate rendezvous or bring along the whole family for a relaxing all-inclusive summer on the shore. Shop ‘til you drop for designer duds or jawdropping jewels in some of the best duty-free ports outside Dubai or seclude yourself in a spa with infinite views of the Cerulean Sea. Come for New Year’s when the yachts drop anchor and the parties never stop, or join the growing trendsetters taking full advantage of blissful summertime bargains. The Caribbean has it all for the asking.
