Top 5 Caribbean Islands To Visit In 2016
The Caribbean has long been a destination for sun seekers, especially during the UK winter months. With Central America expected to be more popular than ever for travellers, here’s a quick look at our top 5 Caribbean islands to visit in 2016.
Cuba
With relations between the US and Cuba changing, this fascinating island is expected to soon be overwhelmed with US culture, so now’s the time to visit before the vintage cars and outdoor dancing are replaced with Starbucks and McDonald’s.
Dominican Republic
Gorgeous pristine beaches lay in wait in the Dominican Republic. While renowned for providing a relaxing holiday, the island also contains rainforest and the Caribbean’s tallest mountain, Pico Duarte.
St Lucia
Whether you have the cash to splash or are looking for value for money, St. Lucia boasts some very nice beach resorts at affordable prices. An island for adventurers, the landscape of St. Lucia includes waterfall-blessed rainforest, peaceful volcanic beaches and local fishing villages, while reef diving invites you to an underwater world.
Aruba
With dry weather and cool winds, Aruba is more like a desert than a rainforest, with iguanas, rock formations and an old Spanish gold mine. In the north, you can discover rugged limestone cliffs and a wild surf contrasting with the laidback beaches of the south.
Curacao
Considered one of the best-kept secrets of the Caribbean, Curacao combines beautiful dive sites with the colourful architecture of Willemstad, the island’s historic capital.
