Caribbean

The Caribbean rewards travellers who want more than one kind of island escape. Puerto Rico’s rainforest and Barbados’s tropical gardens offer a change of pace from days beside the sea. Places to stay range from private-island retreats to hotels in coastal towns, giving you very different ways to experience the region. Plan time for the water, but leave room for a walk, a long lunch and the places that make each stop feel different. Whether you favour secluded beaches or a sociable island base, there is plenty of scope to shape a trip around your own interests.
