Need a Tropical Escape? Which Caribbean Island to Visit?

A collage of Caribbean Island scenery to choose which island to visit.

When we think about visiting the Caribbean, the only time that isn’t good is hurricane season. Otherwise, a tropical escape is always right!  The Caribbean has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and that beautiful turquoise water. What’s more, traveling to the islands can be relatively inexpensive.  But which Caribbean island to visit? That can be a dilemma. To help answer that question, we have brought together travel writers from around the globe to give their favorite Caribbean islands, and choices of the best Caribbean island to visit!

Believe it or not, there are over 7,000 islands in the Caribbean!  This includes 26 sovereign nations, plus numerous territories that “belong” to larger countries in the western hemisphere and Europe, so across the islands there is a lot f variance, and some islands are quite unique.  There are bits of Spanish, English, Danish and French history across the island, as well as the native cultures of each island.  Visitors can choose between modern resort cities, colorful colonial towns and rustic villages.

But the probable truth may be that most visitors to the Caribbean go for the overwhelming beauty of the scenery, rather than the culture, but if you step away from the sand, even the landscape is diverse.  There are tropical rain forests, deserts, mountains, dormant volcanoes, waterfalls, salt flats and plantations. Perhaps the sparkling beaches and sunshine may be the only similarities!  We think there is an island that suits every travelers taste, and indeed, each of our writers had their own favorite Caribbean Islands. We hope to help you decide which one is the best Caribbean Island to visit, for you!

If you already know where your interests lie, then you can select the name of the island below, and the link will take you directly to that section.  But if you are undecided, and want all the information, each of our different traveler writers tell you all about their favorite Caribbean Island, and exactly why they love it!

The Best Caribbean Islands to Visit

If you’re ready for this amazing collection of islands, let’s go. You’ll be planning your vacation in no time!

My favorite Caribbean island is: Anguilla

Mich Om

Kite surfer in the water along the beach at Anguilla, the best Caribbean Island.
Water sports are among the most popular activities in Anguilla.

Best Places to stay: West End or Meads Bay because it’s near three of our top five favorite beaches in Anguilla.
Why I loved it: Beachside bars and restaurants, fresh seafood, delicious street food and postcard-perfect beaches are enough to make anyone visiting Anguilla fall in love.

Besides admiring and relaxing in one of the 33 incredible white-sand beaches in Anguilla, there are many watersport activities you can do around the island. Learn to Kitesurf, a combination of wakeboarding and windsurfing, in the ideal destination where isolated beaches and constant wind make the perfect recipe for this sport.

One of our favorite watersports is Stand Up Paddleboarding and the best place for this is at Da’ Vida Restaurant where you can paddle over to Little Bay; a quiet cove that can only reached by water or climbing down dangerous rocks. Little Bay is also one of the best places to snorkel on the island along with Shoal Bay East, Sandy Island and Prickly Pear.

If watersports are not your cup of tea there are still plenty of things to do around the island that don’t involve actually getting in the ocean. Seaside Stables offers horseback riding along the beach with the option of getting in the water with the horse. It’s perfect for first time or experienced riders. Golf, Tennis and bicycles are also options offered by some hotels so these are always a choice during your stay in Anguilla.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Antigua.

Michael Turtle

Beautiful sunset over the shore of Antigua, my favorite Caribbean Island.
The sun sets over Antigua.

Best place to stay: Around Galley Bay for peaceful but easily-accessible beaches. Or English Harbour for a bit more action.
Why I loved it: There’s a whole range of tourist experiences in the Caribbean and I feel that Antigua sits comfortably in the middle of them, with the perfect amount of everything. It has anything you want without feeling pretentious or commercialised. The beauty of the beaches blends nicely with the local culture and even the colonial heritage.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: It’s worth checking out Antigua’s most important historical area, Nelson’s Dockyard, which is also the country’s only World Heritage Site. This collection of colonial-era buildings is from the period when the British used Antigua as an important Caribbean port. On Sunday nights, a part of the site called Shirley Heights hosts a fun party with an incredible view!

Antigua is known for its maritime culture and each year holds Antigua Sailing Week around April/May. It’s a great time to visit the island because of the festival atmosphere. Even if you’re not around at that time, it’s still worth going on a sailing trip along the coast. As well as getting some terrific views of the coastline, you’ll be able to have a few drinks, go for a swim, and feel the salty breeze on your face.

Another fun way to learn more about Antigua and get a taste of Caribbean culture is with a local cooking class. One of the most popular is run by Nicole’s Kitchen which, as the name suggests, takes place in the kitchen at Nicole’s house. For something a bit special, you can join her Cooking with Rum class where every dish has a special rum twist and you’ll do a tasting of different varieties of the popular local spirit.

My favorite Caribbean island is: Aruba.

Annick Lenoir-Peek

Swimmers in a rocky cove in Antigua, one of the best Caribbean islands to visit.
Swimming in one of Aruba’s rocky coves.

The best place to stay is: Manchebo Beach Resort On Eagle Beach
Why I loved it: This desert island has figured out how to make itself appealing even aside from the fantastic beaches. The people are fun and the food delicious.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun:

Snorkel in the Natural Pool (Conchi). In the Arikok National Park on the East side of the island, volcanic rocks formed a pool in which you can swim. Half the fun is getting there, which requires a 4×4, ATV, UTV, or a hike over very rocky terrain. Not accessible to guests with mobility issues. Visit during high tide to experience waves crashing over the stone walls.

UTV tour of the island. Aruba is small and can be easily covered by renting a car or boarding a 4×4 tour. But take a UTV (utility task vehicle) tour. This golf cart on steroids can go over all kinds of terrain, allowing easy access to off road locations in an adventurous way! Visit rock formations, an abandoned gold mine, aloe vera factory or butterfly farm.

Catch the sunset at the California lighthouse. Sure you’ve been to lots of lighthouses before but with its Northwest point location as the highest point on the island, you’ll have magnificent views. Enjoy dinner or a drink at the Trattoria el Faro Blanco for magnificent views of the sunset.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Bonaire.

Carol Guttery

Rocky shore along the Bonaire coast.
Bonaire has both rocky shorelines and pristine beaches.

Best place to stay: If you are a couple, stay in Kralendijk. You can find a wide range of lodging prices and restaurant options. If you are with a larger group, I suggest doing a vacation rental just north of town.

Why I loved it: Getting around Bonaire is so easy. The island is small and you can get everywhere in thirty minutes.

Things to do besides bask in the sun: For such a small island, there is a lot to do in Bonaire. Diving and snorkeling are the primary reasons to visit. Their reef drops right off of the rocky coastline which means that you can simply wade in from shore. Bonaire isn’t a cheap Caribbean destination but being able to snorkel and dive from shore will save you a lot of money that you would otherwise have to spend on tours.

Other water sports in Bonaire include windsurfing and kayaking in Lac Bay. Jibe City in Lac Bay rents a wide range of quality windsurfing gear and they have a small beach and restaurant for lounging. The Mangrove Center offers two hours kayak and snorkel tours of the north side of the bay.

However, Bonaire also has a couple of quirky offerings as well. They have an active Cargill salt pond factory which creates a moonscape of salt on the landscape. Nearby are a series of slave huts that are a tough reminder of Bonaire’s colonial history.

If you go, don’t miss the donkey sanctuary. The sanctuary brings in feral donkeys, giving them a safe environment, and all the hay they can eat for their natural lifetimes. Visiting the sanctuary is a hoot and the donkeys will mob your car.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Cuba.

Allison Green

Red classic car on the streets in Cuba, a reason it is one of the best Caribbean islands to visit.
Classic cars are part of the Cuban charm.

I chose Cuba for the diversity of culture and color it has to offer. On what other Caribbean island can you dance salsa in the streets, ride on horseback through vast tobacco fields, walk on colorful streets lined with cobblestones, and bask in some of the most beautiful blue waters the Caribbean has to offer? I can’t think of any.

My favorite place to stay in Cuba is hard to choose. I suppose if I had to pick, I’d pick colorful Viñales for its multi-colored houses all in a row and the great nature surrounding them: karst mountains, lush tobacco fields, and peaceful rural of way life. However, Varadero and its stunning blue beaches are hard to stay away from.

I love Cuba for several reasons, namely for the kindness of the people and the uniqueness of the destination. While it is not the “easiest” place to travel, even if you speak Spanish, it is rewarding in that you’ll learn so much about a country with a history as complicated as the terrain and houses are beautiful. You’ll end every day challenged, but growing from the challenges of traveling in Cuba.

Besides basking in the sun, there are several great things to do in Cuba. You should definitely check out the colonial cities like Havana, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos, where the houses are each more colorful the next, especially next to the candy-colored vintage cars parked seemingly everywhere. Strolling around the streets with a camera in hand is a quintessential Cuba must.

Another thing to do in Cuba is relax on the beach – and with Cuba being a long, thin island, you are never far from the beach! My favorite beaches were in Varadero (the town, not the resort area) – the waters are some of the most brilliant blue I’ve ever seen anywhere in the world. Don’t forget to pack a swimsuit! However, there are also great beaches in Jibacoa, Girón, Cayo Coco, and so many more.

Finally, one last thing to you should do in Cuba is to check out the brilliant nature, preferably by horseback. I loved riding through the karst landscape and tobacco fields with my guide, learning about tobacco cultivation in Cuba and getting to meet a local tobacco farmer (and of course, sampling and buying some of his wares!)

My Favorite Caribbean Island is: Curacao.

Wendy Blumenstein-Elliott

Signs pointed in many directions on the beach in Curacao, o help choosing which Caribbean Island to visit.
Hand painted signs showing the many activities available on the beach in Curacao.

Best area to stay: Westpunt

Why I love it: I love an island that offers a diversity of activities, environments, and culture, instead of just nice beaches. Curacao fits that bill beyond any island that I have visited over the past 40 years. Curacao is filled with maritime, slave, pirate, trade, Dutch, and Jewish history.

While the gorgeous aqua waters surrounding Curacao are eye-candy, the outdoors environments offer so much more than gorgeous beaches, like mountains, forests, and exquisite birds. Relaxing on a deck with morning coffee invites a show of colorful island parrots, troupials, and bananaquits. And those scenic drives with various white sand beaches take my breath away. Curacao weather never disappoints with temperatures between 81-89F, sunshine most days, and island breezes.

The quiet peacefulness of the Westpunt area makes it my favorite part of the island, away from the hustle bustle, businesses and crowds of Willemstad and the eastern part of Curacao. Westpunt is known for its beautiful beaches, corals reefs and hiking.

Three things to do:
My favorite things to do in Curacao are scuba diving and snorkeling. At Playa Piskado, I love to go for a swim with the turtles; it’s also a great place to dive.

We have spent most of our time in the water at Playa Kalki/ Alice in Wonderland reef/dive site; it’s an easy dive from the shore. Go West dive shop provides everything needed for fun water day, from boat trips to water toys – kayaks, snorkel gear, dive gear.

We’ve also had great shore diving and snorkeling at beaches like Blue Bay, Porto Marie, Cas Abao, Playa Lagun.

It’s exhilarating to hike Mt. Christoffel National Park to see lovely succulent flowers and exquisite island views. Hiking the land and coral at Shete Boka National Park, I love exploring the underground caves and watching the pounding waves and explosive blowhole geysers.

Spending a day exploring the adorable town of Willemstad, filled with history and culture, with its museums, floating markets, and local food makes Curacao special for me.

My favorite Caribbean island is: Dominican Republic.

Marcelle Simone Heller

Paddling in a raft with a shipwreck in the distance near the Dominican Republic, my favorite Caribbean Island.
A shipwreck in the distance makes an interesting backdrop to the Dominican beach.

With convenient direct flights to Punta Cana, and affordable all-inclusive accommodation with lots of entertainment and stunning infinite beaches, the Dominican Republic was twice our choice for holidays with our kids and their friends.

Best place to stay: Punta Cana is the most famous beach resort destination of the Dominican Republic with all-inclusive resorts that line the unspoiled kilometer long stretch of beach. Our hotel lay quietly at Bavaro Beach in a most beautiful tropical setting, undisturbed by any roads or towns. The Caribbean turquoise seawater invited a swim and the soft white sand to take a stroll along the palm fringed coastline.

Why I loved it: I could read my book relaxing at the pool while the kids went crazy!

Things to do besides bask in the sun:
Beyond the swimming zone, we found a wide spectrum of watersports and parasailing. But the kids were happy enough to challenge their newly found friends of the hotel’s entertainment team. Games in and around the pool, volleyball, tennis, and other sports or evening entertainment with karaoke, Spanish language course and so on, there was a colorful program for any taste.

Food was plentiful and amazing – best for my insatiable teenagers, less good for my waistline. Different cultural food and music themes every evening, and snacks in between as-well. Even the cocktails and drinks were included in the price. If I ask my kids who are grown-ups now, what holidays they have best memories of, they in unison choose the ones in the Dominican Republic.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Exumas, Bahamas.

Dan Bagby

A swimming pig in near Exumas, Bahamas, makes it one of the best Caribbean Islands to visit.
Swimming with the pigs is one of the most popular things to do in Exumas.

Best place to stay: Staniel Cay

Why I loved it: Staniel Cay is a beautiful island in Exumas with a great balance of seclusion without being remote in the Bahamas. There is a small marina and the cay is surrounded by crystal clear beautiful waters. It is located close to other cays that are fund to explore and awesome things to do like swimming with the pigs. The island is small so most people get around on golf carts.

When you aren’t relaxing at the beach, take a trip to some of the nearby Cays. The most popular thing to do is to go swimming with the pigs at the neighboring Cay, Big Major Cay. Bring some food with you for the pigs and if you dare, the nurse sharks. You can rent a small boat for the short mile-long boat ride.

On the way, you can stop by Thunderball Grotto for some of the best snorkeling in Exumas, where part of the James Bond film Thunderball was filmed. You can always explore neighboring cays or find a small stretch of sand to have to yourself for the day.

When you are back at the island, Staniel Cay Yacht Club is a great place to spend your time where you can kayak, stand up paddleboard, and go fishing.

My Favourite Caribbean Island is: Grenada.

Michele Peterson

Women on balcony at Grenada Chocolate Company, for those deciding which Caribbean Island to visit.
The Grenada Chocolate Company is a cooperative organic facility.

Best Place to Stay: Within walking distance of Grand Anse Beach

Why I Loved It: From its bustling market to its organic chocolate production, this unspoiled island in the southeastern Caribbean Sea has plenty to offer food adventurers like me.

Three Things to Do Besides Bask in the Sun:
1. One of the first things to do in Grenada ( beyond basking on one of its beautiful beaches) is to visit its historic capital city of St. George’s. First settled by indigenous Arawak and Caribs, St. George’s was founded in 1649 by the French. Today, visitors can delve into this past at Fort George and Market Square, a non-touristy food and craft market fragrant with spices, in the heart of its well-preserved historic district.

2) Another must-visit is the Grenada Chocolate Company, a tree-to-bar cooperative at the edge of the Mt Hope rainforest where visitors can tour the facilities and learn about artisanal chocolate production. The annual Chocolate Fest in late May is a celebration of delicious organic and ethically-produced chocolate.

3) A highlight of a visit to Grenada is the opportunity to take a Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park tour and experience the world’s first underwater sculpture museum. Created by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006, this underwater gallery features more than 100 stunning installed in the sand beneath the sea in Molinere Beausejour Marine Protected Area and is intended to help raise awareness about the fragility of the ocean environment. The relatively shallow depth of the installation combined with calm waters make it an easy snorkel tour for beginners.

My favorite Caribbean island is: Guadeloupe.

Rachel Heller

Overhead view of red roofed Deshies, Guadelupe, my favorite Caribbean Island.
Looking down on the brightly colored town of Deshies.

Best place to stay: It doesn’t matter where on the island you stay; it’s all lovely, except perhaps the capital city, Pointe-a-Pitre. The village of Deshaies (where Death in Paradise is filmed) is particularly pretty.

Why I loved it: Guadeloupe is a perfect combination of Caribbean vibe and French sophistication.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun:
Eat wonderful Caribbean-French fusion food. I didn’t get to do this much because I was on a strict budget, but I delighted in freshly-made tropical fruit smoothies and perfect French baguettes for breakfast. I bought fish dishes at local restaurants and, while they weren’t what I’d call haute cuisine, they were flavorfully prepared and very fresh. I’ve heard that in high-end restaurants on Guadeloupe, the fusion of French and Caribbean cuisine is superb.
Check out some quirky museums like the Rum Museum, the Banana Museum, the Chocolate Museum or Kreol West Indies, an art gallery.
To work off all the food and rum, climb La Soufrière Volcano to the (slightly active) crater. It’s not a long hike, but if you’re generally out of shape, like me, it’s a challenge. You’ll be rewarded by some wonderful views and a peek inside the crater to watch the sulfurous steam escape. Other hikes on the side of the volcano could keep you busy for several days: try the trails to the first, second and third Carbet waterfalls.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Isla Holbox, Mexico

Patrick Muntzinger

A row of hammocks along the beach of Isla Holbox, Mexico, one of the best Caribbean Islands to visit.
The hammocks along the beach are the perfect place to relax on Isla Holbox.

Best place to stay: The island is so tiny that all accommodation is along the beach – there are guesthouses, hostels and more luxurious hotels as well as resort, the choice is up to you!

Why I loved it: Many places of Yucatan are pretty touristic and overcrowded by visitors. However, Isla Holbox is still a hidden gem which the crowds didn’t discover yet! Therefore, it’s been one of my favorite places when backpacking Mexico.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: One of the best things about Isla Holbox is that the island is so super relaxing. Holbox is still rather underdeveloped compared to other regions around the Yucatan Peninsula, with unpaved roads, wild beaches and slow wifi. The island is tiny, and the best way to discover it is by foot. While you can take some boat cruises around the island, I just walked around a lot. There’s some cool street art to discover in the small village as well as some cafés popping up here and there. Along the beach, you will find the famous hammocks in the water, which are perfect to relax and to take some fun pictures which will certainly make your friends at home jealous. When visiting Holbox, I recommend exploring the island by foot as well as taking a nice rest on the beach. Make sure to watch the incredible sunset at the long pier in the evening!

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Isla Mujeres.

Claudia Tavani

Palm trees blowing in a strong wind on Isla Mujeres, my favorite Caribbean Island.
A strong wind comes ashore on Isla Mujeres.

Best place to stay: I love Playa Norte, because it’s close to what I think is the nicest beach on the island. And a bit quieter than the city.

Why I loved it: Isla Mujeres is a lovely small island off the Riviera Maya, within easy reach of Cancun, yet a world apart. It’s much quieter, it has a lovely island vibe – relaxed, beach-y. As it is an island, it’s very breezy so it never gets too hot. And the beaches are simply stunning.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: The most fun thing to do in Isla Mujeres is renting a scooter, a golf cart or even just a bike (though it can get hot, and the island has some hills!) to go around the island. It’s a nice way to discover all that it has to offer and take in all the amazing views. And since there is no traffic, it’s super easy!

Another fun thing to do is shopping, though haggling is the only way to do it here, so test your skills before you try it. There are a lot of lovely shops in the city, selling all sorts of souvenirs (more or less cheap stuff) but also nice art shops.

Last, but definitely not least, the one thing to do in Isla Mujeres – much like in the rest of Yucatan – is eating. Food in Mexico is amazing, and Isla Mujeres is no different. During the day, it’s best to have a lighter snack at the beach (though a cocktail to accompany it is wholeheartedly recommended). At night, there are many options: from budget eateries and street food, to the fanciest restaurants such as Olivia!

Claudia is the creator of the My Adventures Across the World. She believes that travel is a way to learn about new cultures; it means crossing bridges, developing great friendships, sharing experiences, learning to survive and to help others.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Jamaica.

Priya Van

The Van family stands in front of one of Jamaica's many waterfalls, for those owndering which Caribbean island to visit.
Climbing waterfalls in the forest is a favorite activity in Jamaica.

Why I loved it: Jamaica has beautiful turquoise waters and white sand beaches and of course unforgettable reggae beats.

Things to do besides bask in the sun: You can enjoy early morning walks and then lounge by the beach while the kids play table tennis or volley ball or built sand castles. Always end the day watching beautiful sunsets. The best place is at Rick’s café –a must stop by for a cocktail and sunset when you are in Jamaica.

Regardless of which one of the six resort areas you choose, there is plenty to explore. We stayed in Negril and did a trip to see Jamaica’s natural wonders of mangroves and to YS Falls. Set amid the lush landscape of St Elizabeth parish, YS Falls stands 120 feet tall and provides a naturally beautiful place to cool off and play in the water. Swim in the cascading pools and swing through the air like Tarzan. Our daredevil teen swung like a Tarzan and jumped into the natural pool. We saw crocodiles sunning when we went on the boat tour through the mangroves.

Don’t miss the Bob Marley museum in Kingston.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Little Corn Island in Nicaragua

Elisa Subirats

Small palm tree and debris on beach of Little corn Island, Nicaragua.
The east shore of Little Corn Island is perfect for relaxing.

The best place to stay: on the Eastern coast (less crowded than the western coast).

Why I loved it: Corn Islands (Big and Little Corn Island) are two islands, still wild, which see few tourists. They are calm, relaxing and the sea is nice. In addition, there is an interesting autochthonous population: Creoles, Mestizos, and Miskitos, speaking their own dialect which is different from Spanish.

Things to do besides bask in the sun: Little Corn Island is really small and there is not much to do apart from having a bath or lying in the sun with your favorite drink. There are no interesting sights or local museums to visit so people go to Little Corn Island just to relax.

Snorkeling tours and fishing tours are proposed in the island and it is great to spend half day swimming amongst fishes and little sharks. Another activity is to walk around the island and visit the different hotel resorts. On the southern coast of the island, for example, there is a nice forest to cross with luxurious vegetation.

Finally, you can try the island’s cuisine in one of its many restaurants. The island’s specialty is fish, cooked in different ways. Lobster is also very appreciated by visitors and locals, especially the lobster soup.

My favourite Caribbean island is: Nevis

Julianna Barnaby

Window view of Nevis Peak, to decide which Caribbean island to visit.
Looking across the forest at Nevis Peak, a dormant volcano, and highest point on the island.

This small island boasts a lot of character and personality – with incredible food, outdoors activities and great hotels for the perfect Caribbean trip.

The best place to stay: Location-wise, you have quite a few options for your stay. If you’re heading for a relaxed vibe with lush, gorgeous views then opt to stay in one of the restored sugar plantations dotted around the centre of the island, otherwise plump for one of the gorgeous beach-front properties for a true Caribbean getaway.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: There are plenty of things to do and see in Nevis away from chilling on the beach (not to say that isn’t a wonderful option).

Everyone should head to the fascinating Nevis Heritage Village where you can learn about the history and the development of the island over the centuries. It offers a glimpse into the forces, good and bad, that turned the island into what it is today.

Cocktails in Nevis means Killer Bees at chilled out local hangout Sunshine’s Beach Bar. Made from a secret recipe, the cocktails are both delicious and potent, so watch out!

Activity lovers are spoilt for choice – hiking, cycling, snorkelling, diving – there’s a lot to choose from. Hiking the island’s lush interior is the perfect excuse to strap on your boots and work off some calories – epic views guaranteed. Those looking for a real challenge can hike to the top of Nevis Peak – the dormant volcano that looms over the island.

My favorite island of the Caribbean is: Puerto Rico.

Roxanna Keyes

Steps Beach in Rincon, Puerto Rico, the best Caribbean island to visit.
Steps Beach in Rincon, is known for being a prime surfing area.

The best place to stay is: The northwest corner of the island, in the Rincon area.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: There are a plethora of choices of things to do in Puerto Rico, and the island is small enough that you could make a day trip to any place on the island, and still be back to your room for a comfy night of sleep. But, we will stick to the western side of the island, which is known for its history and surf culture..

Going to Arecibo is a fabulous choice for a day. It is the home of the Arecibo Observatory, one of the largest in the world, and a filming location for the movie Contact. You can learn all about monitoring the skies, and get an incredible “from above” view of the radio telescope.  Just a few minutes away, you can also visit some caves. We chose Cueva Ventana, which is surrounded a lush forest. Trained naturalists give guided tours of the cave several times a day, which were also featured in a famous movie, being the location for the sound recordings of the bats, in Batman Begins.

To explore some of the unique cultural history of western Puerto Rico, take a trip into the mountains and visit a coffee plantation. Such plantations were once the economic foundation of the area, producing and exporting thousands of pounds of beans each year. Today, only a few plantations remain, but they offer a unique glimpse into the plantation lifestyle, the chance to mingle with local workers, and an opportunity to send home some high quality coffee.

Further south, the Las Salinas, near Cabo Rojo at the southwestern tip of the island have been called the most important site on the island, and is another cool place to spend a day.  The area contains both salt flats and a wildlife preserve because of the diverse ecological system.  Aborigines began mining salt in the area as early as 700AD, and this has been a mainstay of life in the area since.  Visit the interpretive center first, to best plan your explorations.

My favorite island of the Caribbean is: Roatan in Honduras

Fran Opazo

Water front patio on Roatan, in the sunset, my favorite Caribbean island.
A perfect place to relax with a glass of wine.

I used to come here while I was working on board cruise ships, but in 2018 I was able to travel and see the brighter side of the island.

The best place to stay is: at resort Mayan Princess near the West End area, full of bars and restaurants.

What I love about the island: is the amount of things you can do.

For example, for a quiet day of sightseeing, you can pet macaws and capuchin monkeys at Gumbalimba Park. Here you can spend the entire day walking around the lush gardens, insectariam and gaining knowledge of the 200 types of plant species found on the island.

The afternoon is the perfect time to take a motor boat through the thick mangrove forests that make a beautiful canopy over the muddy waters just off the shallow corals.

Another option is to spend the day in Little French Key, a private island were you can scuba dive the Coral Reef or just enjoy the beach.

You can also go to mingle with locals at Punta Gorda and see how they dance and party on Sunday afternoons. I suggest to try their great seafood, especially the crab and the snail soup.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: San Andres

Gretka Milkovic

Exploring the rocky coast of San Andres.

It is located near Nicaragua but belongs to Colombia.

The best place to stay is: I suggest you to stay outside of the city centre. Hotels in city centre are quite expensive. I stayed in an area called Barrio El Bight and I totally loved it. It was very quiet and just 10 mins by bus from the city centre.

What I love about the island: I love this island because it has a laid-back atmosphere. It is still an unknown destination and there are not many tourists around. The island is a true paradise surrounded by beautiful warm waters which has 12 different shades of blue and turquoise.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: You can do a lot of interesting things on San Andres, even though it is a small island. One of my favourite things to do in San Andres are island hopping tours. There are several small islands around San Andres. Just come to the pier and choose a tour. I definitely recommend to visit Acuario San Andres Islas, Sandbar and Cordoba Island. What I loved about Acuario is that you can easily walk to the island across called Haynes Cay. There you can have a drink at the local Jamaican bar with the view on turquoise waters. From San Andres you can also go to another beautiful island called Johnny Cay.

San Andres is surrounded by a diverse ecosystem of reefs which makes it perfect for diving and snorkeling. If you prefer other outdoor adventures, then you could also hire a kayak.

If you want to discover the beauty of the island, just rent a scooter and drive around. Stop at the first baptist church built in South America. If you go up to the tower of the church you will have a beautiful view on the island.

You can finish your day with watching a beautiful sunset. I recommend a spot in the southwest of the island.

My favorite Caribbean Island(s) are: the San Blas Islands

Kimmie Connor

The only way to get around between the San Blas Islands is by boat.

The best place to stay is: either on a boat, on hammocks on the islands, or in sparse available rooms in certain communities – they’re very rugged and are mostly inhabited by indigenous people, so many people visit on multiple day boat trips.

I loved the San Blas Islands because: they are legitimately the most perfect islands I have seen in my life. They’re mostly small and circular/ovular, and flat with pancaked white sand and a layer of perfect palm trees on top of each of them. And… there are 365! It’s truly an awe-inspiring place to be, and boating through hundreds of near perfect islands makes you want to pinch yourself to make sure this is real life.

Many people visit the San Blas islands as a border crossing from Panama to Colombia; you actually cannot cross this border by land and bust do so by sea or air. With these islands as an option, the choice is obvious! There are many boat/sailing trips that will take you to these islands from Panama and allow you to meet the local Kuna people, play with the children, and explore.

The best things to do on the San Blas islands mostly have to do with swimming and enjoying the island sun! The snorkeling here is absolutely incredible, with hundreds of perfect conch shells of every possible size strewn about the sea floor, providing homes for other small sea critters. Many people go scuba diving in the San Blas islands as well – there’s a lot of amazing sea life.

Many people enjoy volleyball games on the sand before sunset, looking at crafts made by locals, and cooking amazing seafood meals.

My favorite island of the Caribbean is: St. Barths.

Isabella Biava

Yachts off the shore of St. Barth, if you are wondering which Caribbean Island to visit.
Luxury is common in St. Barth, and many people enjoy yachting off shore.

St. Barth is the most European and fancy. From your first step on the island you will feel as if you are in Paris, just surrounded by the turquoise and pristine waters of the Caribbean Sea, and the exotic tropical vibes.  St Barth is in fact a French island and all about it is indeed French, you feel it, you hear it, and taste it, however the slow tranquil life and the stunning landscapes will remind you every second that yes, you are in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles for real.

What I love about the island: I love everything about St Barth, but to choose a few highlights: my favorite thing is opportunity to challenge yourself with mild hikes on the gentle slopes in many places on the island. It’s a little harsh in the tropical heat, but well rewarded by the stunning views when you reach the top.The hike I did was to Anse Colombie. In this case your will walk downhill first in order to get to this white sand deserted beach and the stunning crystal-clear water, while you will need to hike back up only afterwards, after basking in the sun all day. Mind that there is nothing to drink or eat there, so you will need to bring your water and food.

The island is one of the richest and most expensive so don’t be surprise if you bump into one of your favorite Hollywood star.
Speaking of which, we get to my second favorite thing in St Barth, which is a good choice of exquisite 5 star hotels to really pamper yourself and rejuvenate your senses with their top-notch restaurants, design comfortable rooms and exceptional service. I do believe you haven’t been in St Barth if you haven’t stayed in one of the fancy resort, such as Le Guanahani, where I stayed, Le Toiny, which has just reopened after a serious refurbishing, Le Sereno Hotel, Le Manapany, to name just a few.

Also you should know that St Barth is a paradise for Kite surfers, and if you are one, you will find your place there, if you are not, you will be able to enjoy those colorful kites flying over the stunning water, and you might want to give it a try as well.

If you just want to rest, just enjoy the private beach of your hotel or explore the beautiful bays all along the coast, reachable either by car rental or a private tax, or if you want to take a splurge and be totally fancy, you can always rent a yacht!

My favorite Caribbean Island is: St. John

April Hope

A local vendor lets us know his wares are top notch.

Why I loved it: When people think about Caribbean Islands, watching sunsets while sipping cocktails on stunning beaches is the image that usually comes to mind, and that is one of the reasons the USVI of St. John is my favorite. Even if someone tried to Photoshop pictures of this paradise, they could not come close to showing just how exquisite this place is.

Many of the Caribbean destinations are breathtakingly beautiful, but St. John has a special place in my heart. While there is no airport, it is quite easy to get there for a day trip by taking a 20-minute ferry or boat from St. Thomas. Taxis from the ferry are cheap and will quickly get you to Trunk Bay, one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world where you can snorkel at the Virgin Islands Coral Reef Monument, and, there’s even an underwater trail.

Things to do besides bask in the sun:
There are hiking trails along Cinnamon Bay Beach, historical tours, and horseback riding on this island that has almost perfect weather year round. If you come on an early ferry you can have a full day of fun activities and still be back in time for your cruise in St. Thomas at the end of the day. But if you’re lucky enough to be staying overnight in St. John at one of the luxurious hotels, check out live jazz in Cruz Bay or enjoy a decadent, delicious, fresh seafood dinner at any of the oceanfront restaurants or cafes.

There are local vendors across the street from the ferry dock where you can wander through the outdoor marketplace and buy homemade and crafts and art, but if you catch a taxi (or walk) to

Mongoose Junction you will find dozens of shops and galleries, cute cafes and restaurants.  Mongoose Junction is unlike any other shopping center I’ve seen. Stone buildings, hand carved wood, bamboo rails, and thick, lush tropical plants everywhere lure you even deeper into the shaded terraces and balconies where you can relax and enjoy exotic drinks and food after a long day as you listen to live music.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: St Kitts

Suzanne Jones

Palm trees along the beach in Frigate Bay, St. Kitts, my favorite Caribbean Island.
A quiet place on Frigate Bay, our choice for the best place to stay on St. Kitts.

Best place to stay: Frigate Bay
Frigate Bay is a great place to stay because it’s on the Caribbean Sea side of the island with beautiful white sandy beaches studded with palm trees. A small strip of eateries and bars run along the beach which means there’s always something good to eat, a rum punch in the making and somewhere with music to chill to. The sunsets on this part of the island are stunning.

Why I loved it: St Kitts is probably one of the most authentic Caribbean islands and one of the most beautiful.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: Take the Sugar Train. The train which was built in the early 20th century used to transport sugar cane from the fields to the mills. Nowadays it’ll take you on a journey on St Kitt’s scenic railway with breathtaking views of the volcano, Mount Liamuiga, lush rainforests and ocean views. Rum punch and daiquiris are served en-route with regular free top ups.

Go Zip Lining: St Kitts has some of the longest zip lines in the Caribbean. As you whizz high above the tree canopy you’ll get a monkey’s eye view of the rainforest. Practice your zipping on the short line and build up to the longest adrenalin loaded line at 1,350 ft. You can also get competitive on the dual line and race your partner to the finish line.

Explore the Ocean: The warm clear waters are perfect for snorkelling and are filled with beautifully coloured fish. Wrecks attract the little fish and flashes of neon and silver dart past colourful corals as you swim around them. I swam alongside a turtle for a couple of minutes during my snorkelling in St Kitts. It was a wonderful experience and a wish list ticked off to swim with a turtle in the wild.

Our favorite island in the Caribbean is: St. Lucia.

Christina and Adam Dwiggins

The pack of La. Soufriere across the bay in St. Lucia, the best Caribbean Island to visit.
The peak of La Soufriere, the “drive in volcano” defines the landscape of St. Lucia.

St. Lucia has plenty of adventure and relaxation. St. Lucia is known as one of the most adventurous and romantic islands in the Caribbean. In fact, it was our honeymoon destination!

Best place to stay: There are so many amazing all-inclusive hotels to stay at in St. Lucia. One of the most popular hotel companies is Sandals and they have three different properties on the island. However, the best location on the island is in Soufriere, on the south-west part of St. Lucia. Most of the popular activities and excursions are located in Soufriere and the hotels have stunning views of the Piton Mountains.

Why we loved it: We love St. Lucia because of the unique activities offered throughout the island and the friendly people. You can explore rainforests and botanical gardens, set sail into the sunset, hike Gros Piton Mountain, enjoy a unique mud bath, go jungle biking, visit cocoa plantations and more.

Though we highly recommend all of the activities, the mud baths, hiking Gros Piton mountain and jungle biking are some excursions not to be missed. The mud bath is not only a fun experience, but also one that will make your skin feel flawless. While the hike to the top of Gros Piton and jungle biking are more adventurous that offer stunning views and incredible experiences with nature.

We always look back to our time in St. Lucia as one of our favorite destinations in the entire world. Simply because of its beauty, world-renowned activities, incredible hotels and friendly people.

Our favorite Caribbean Island is: St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Best place to stay: Magens Bay

Why I loved it: I love Caribbean Islands that have mountains or hills that plunge into clear blue waters, and St. Thomas has that. It’s a beautiful island with lots of things to do.

Things to do besides bask in the sun: St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands is the perfect Caribbean Island getaway. The weather report is perfect – warm days, cooling nights, pleasant ocean breezes and a strong chance of fun. That’s a weather report we can get behind! The mountains on the island offer stunning views of the island, ocean and surrounding islands. Beyond just sitting on the beach, there are great spots to go snorkeling or scuba diving around the island. Visitors can explore the pirate history of the Caribbean at Blackbeard’s Tower or sample the original Banana Daiquiri. But us, there’s no better place to enjoy the island that sitting on the beach at idyllic Magens Bay.

Lance and Laura Longwell are authors of Travel Addicts. They enjoy exploring the world, scuba diving in the wild oceans, and sharing a beautiful sunset together. You can find a lot more about St. Thomas and Magens Bay on the website, and you can find them on Facebook at @TravelerAddicts.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Tobago

Best place to stay: Crown Point

Why I loved it: Tobago is one of the most unspoilt Caribbean islands. I loved its authenticity, natural beauty, and laid-back way of life.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun:
1. Trek through the rainforest.
Tobago is home to the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere. 3958 hectares of lush rainforest blanket Main Ridge, Tobago’s central mountain range. The best way to experience all of this is to take a trek with a reputable rainforest guide. Keep a look out for lizards, frogs, and the 210 species of bird that have been recorded on the island.

2. Explore Buccoo Reef in a Glass-Bottom Boat
Despite its small size, Tobago has incredible natural diversity. Exploring the Buccoo Reef in a glass-bottom boat is a wonderful way to see the island’s rich marine life for yourself. Tours of the Buccoo Reef usually stop at the Nylon Pool – a famous sandbank off the coast. What makes the Nylon Pool such a magical place to swim is that the water is shallow enough to stand up in, yet it’s surrounded by open ocean.

3. Turtle-watching
If you visit Tobago during sea turtle nesting time (March – August), don’t miss the opportunity to go turtle-watching. The most common species found on Tobago beaches are the giant leatherback, hawksbill, and green turtle. SOS Tobago is a charity that works to protect sea turtles, so it’s worth checking with them to find the most responsible tour guide.

My favourite Caribbean Island is: Trinidad.

Claire Archer

Heavily forested coastline of Trinidad, our favorite Caribbean Island.
Hiking through Trinidad’s dense forest is a favorite, yet challenging, activity.

Best place to stay: Around Port of Spain is a great area for easy access to culture, nightlife and the all of the island. However, if you just want beautiful beaches, jungle hikes or turtle-watching you may consider staying on the North Coast.

Why I loved it: Trinidad has very little tourism so it’s a much more authentic experience than many other islands and the people are so warm and welcoming that it is easy to discover the delicious foods and nightlife on offer. As one of the larger islands in the Caribbean, there is a diverse selection of things to do in Trinidad that everyone can enjoy.

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: If you’re looking for a real cultural experience, consider ‘playing mas’ in one of the World’s largest carnival celebrations. There are numerous parties leading up to the two-day street parade as well as steel pan music competitions. One of our favourite events in carnival season is J’Ouvert, when revellers take to the streets through the night, dancing and partying while getting covered in paint and mud!

For those looking for something more tranquil, Trinidad is a world-class nature location. It has one of the top 10 highest densities of bird species in the world, with many unique species to be found. Search for Trinidad’s 17 hummingbird species and more at Yerette or Asa Wright Nature Centre, or witness the daily roosting of the Scarlet Ibis, at Caroni Bird Sanctuary. Trinidad is also home to one of the largest breeding grounds for the leatherback turtle with thousands coming ashore to lay eggs along the north coast every spring.

No visit to Trinidad would be complete without a hike through the dense jungle to a waterfall. It is highly likely that you will have the trail all to yourself as you are immersed in unspoilt nature. Among our favourites are Avocat Falls, Turure Watersteps and Rio Seco Waterfall.

My favorite Caribbean Island is: Turks and Caicos Islands

Kylie Neuhaus

Paddle boards lying on the sand in turks and Caicos, the beset Caribbean Island to visit.
Outdoor activities abound in Turks and Caicos, including paddle boarding.

Best place to stay: Grace Bay on Providenciales

Why I loved it: Turks and Caicos is a British Overseas Territory. Grace Bay Beach was voted one of the best beaches in the world on Trip Advisor! The sea temperature is almost the same as the air temperature year round!

Three things to do besides bask in the sun: There are so many things to do on Providenciales, but I will stick to the three.
1) Go on a stand up paddle board (or kayak) tour to the surrounding Cays. The 2 closest Cays to Providenciales are Little Rock Cay and Mangrove Cay. These are great eco tours where you can learn about how the islands were formed, as well as seeing wildlife such as sharks, turtles and conchs!

2) Go on an ATV tour of Providenciales! There are a couple of different routes that you can choose from. One route takes you to the Turks Head Brewery, where you can taste the local beer and to the Conch Shack for lunch. The other tour visits ‘The Hole’ which is a giant sink hole and Long Bay Beach!

3) Thursday Night Fish Fry – This weekly event is popular with both locals and tourists! Every Thursday evening (weather dependent), various food trucks and restaurants on the island set up a stall, in a park along Grace Bay Beach, and cook up their signature dishes. There’s music and the opportunity to buy souvenirs. If you’re in need of a photo prop, you’ll find cocktails (and mocktails) served in pineapples and coconuts!

10 thoughts on “Need a Tropical Escape? Which Caribbean Island to Visit?

  1. Thank you for such a detailed story about the Caribbean island! I visited the island of Grenada with my parents when I was a child, and I still have vivid memories about that trip.

    I read your article with great interest and decided to go on vacation to Aruba. I trust your opinion that it is the best place in the Caribbean. Moreover, as a fan of UTV driving, it will be very interesting to drive around this island, as it has suitable routes there.
