CRUISE HOLIDAY IN THE CARIBBEAN FLY DRIVE, VILLAS, BEACH HOUSES, APARTMENTS, YACHT CHARTER/ EVENT HIRE ANGUILLA Remains a British colony. With some of the finest coral sand in the caribbean, this relatively unknown island is easy going. ANTIGUA an Introduction Independent since 1981, Antigua and Barbuda (Antigua 's sister island to the north) have between them about 170 square miles and 66,000 inhabitants. The chief industry is tourism, which has replaced the production of sugar in the top spot (though sugar production continues). There is no extreme rainy season, and temperatures hover around the 80s most of the year. What it does have is magnificent beaches (reputedly, 365 of them), and excellent, quality hotels located directly on those beaches, as well as a great deal of sailing activity from its well-maintained marinas and yacht slips. Very good for Weddings ARUBA Safely situated outside the usually known islands. 18 miles north of Venezuela, Aruba boasts year-round sunny skies, cooling trade winds, and beaches that rank with the best in the world ARUBA WEDDINGS St. Maarten/St Martin Shared by the French and the Dutch - If you want to Marry here you have to be 'Resident' for 10 days... St. Martin is considered by many to be the sailing capital of the Caribbean. (But don't tell that to an Antiguan.) These islands were developed with Holidays in mind, but their natural beauty is irrefutable too. To escape the tourist scene on Grand Bahama, visit the vast pine forests and the world's longest underwater cave system in Lucayan National Park; in Nassau, even the biggest culture fan can appreciate the historic downtown area and bargain for hand-woven mats, hats, and baskets at the world's largest straw market CRUISE FLY DRIVE HOTELS VILLAS BEACH HOUSES VIP PROPERTY CAR HIRE - YACHT CHARTER/ EVENT HIRE in the Caribbean... with T L C. BARBADOS Barbados is steeped in history and visitors can discover the history and culture of the island with the Barbados National Trust and conducted tours to historic sites such as Sunbury Plantation and a visit to the Barbados Museum. Not to mention sun sea & floating nightclubs! Virgin Barbados? BERMUDA is small, select, and manicured with its homes with white roofs, green lawns and flowers. There is the feeling of prosperity, and a controlled atmosphere--reflected not simply in the tight lid on further hotel construction, but in the prohibition of any further immigration (other than by very wealthy people). It comes as close to being a "paradise on earth" as any island in the world. Reality can seem far behind. (B.V.I.) VIRGIN ISLES US & UK holiday to the Virgin isles at shiny bars with ocean views . But to those searching for a more authentic experience, the swankiest of the three US Virgin Islands also reveals an exciting glimpse of Caribbean life that sparkles with West Indian flavours, aromas and rhythms.

Tropical Weddings GRENADA , calling itself the "Spice Island of the Caribbean" in the tourist brochures.

In fact, there's a nutmeg plant on the island nation's flag.This 133 square-mile isle is also known for, you guessed it, tourism. But the great thing about English - speaking Grenada is that tourism here means low-key boutique hotels - a far cry from the mega-resorts and all-inclusive's found in other parts of the Caribbean.

TOBAGO , LESSER ANTILLES Divers are flocking to the island of Tobago for the chance to swim with monster manta rays. A dozen or so giant mantas, 6 to 10 feet wide, live in the Batteaux Bay area, some year-round. Divers may have to settle for a sighting of the creatures, but most will be able to interact with them. The friendly mantas encourage divers to hold on for a ride - a practice that once earned them the nickname Tobago taxis. Today's more eco-sensitive approach is to merely swim in their presence.
