The pearl of the CARIBBEAN

For the ultimate getaway, the island of Antigua is the perfect place to choose

- GEOFFREY PALMER

The past year of lockdowns and restrictions has left many of us fantasising about an exotic holiday in the sun. And when it comes to dream breaks, the Caribbean tops many people’s bucket list. Lush, tropical islands set in an azure sea, the West Indies really is as lovely as one might imagine. Scattered in an arc across the Caribbean, from Cuba and the Bahamas in the west, nearest Mexico and Florida, right round to Trinidad off the South American coast, there are so many islands to choose from.

Which one to pick?
