Caribbean destinations to consider for your 2019 holiday

Caribbean destinations to consider for your 2019 holiday

It’s that time of year when everyone’s thoughts turn to planning their next major holiday – and the increasingly dreary British weather means exotic climes are likely to be at the top of the list! One sunshine-filled region well worth considering is the Caribbean. Read on to find out where to go and what to do on your 2019 getaway.

Antigua

Caribbean destinations to consider for your 2019 holiday

If you’re a beach bum, Antigua is for you. With more than 360 beaches (and new ones opening all the time), perfect water conditions for snorkelling and diving, and a generally laidback vibe (especially on the neighbouring isle of Barbuda, which is extremely quiet), this island paradise is the ideal place in which to top up your tan. Antigua is also a great destination to visit if you like to get active; the steady, warm winds here make it the perfect sailing location, as proven by the many boating events that occur around the island every year. There are plentiful hiking, golf, kayaking and biking opportunities, too.

Look for fantastic all-inclusive deals to Antigua with specialist resorts such as Blue Waters for a truly indulgent experience that offers value for money to boot.

St Lucia

This is the place to go if you want to relax in stunning natural surroundings. St Lucia’s Piton Mountains, which you’ll see jutting up from the island as you approach it, are ideal for challenging hikes and climbs, while the lush rainforest and stunning beaches invite further exploration.
All this spectacular scenery makes St Lucia perfect for romantic getaways, but it’s also a great location for a family holiday thanks to its water parks, kids’ clubs and wildlife-spotting opportunities. So, if you fancy a change from the usual British or Spanish seaside summer break, take advantage of the lower prices in the off-peak season (July to September).

Dominica

Dominica is another haven for nature lovers thanks to its diverse terrain, which ranges from towering mountains and hot springs to rainforests and waterfalls. The recently completed Waitukubuli National Trail, which winds its way from the northern tip of the isle to its southernmost point, makes the island an excellent choice for an active break in beautiful surroundings this year.
There are also plenty of historical and cultural attractions to take in for a well-rounded holiday, especially in Roseau, the capital. Creole music and cuisine reigns supreme in Dominica, to the extent that it hosts the World Creole Music Festival each October.
Don’t miss out on the fantastic diving, too. The clear waters offer visibility of up to 100 ft and harbour around 22 dolphin and whale species, as well as a host of other marine life.

Jamaica

Jamaica’s diverse culture, gorgeous beaches and famously laidback atmosphere make it the perfect place for a really relaxing holiday in 2013. New accommodation options are springing up all the time, offering plenty of choice for a range of budgets, and the wide range of activities and attractions mean you’ll never be stuck for something to do should you decide to take a break from sunbathing every now and then. Explore the island’s close connection with its African past and its present-day melting pot of various nationalities by wandering around bustling towns and cities like Kingston, taking in the architecture and sampling the fiery cuisine along the way. Or, attempt a trek up the imposing Blue Mountain if you want to challenge yourself on your getaway.

To give you a helping hand, I’ve put together a bit of information about some of the landmarks that I feel are particularly worth your attention upon arriving in the city on an airport transfer .
