With coconut palms and white-sand beaches, vibrant cities and tranquil coves, the Caribbean’s rich mix of islands offers endless possibilities for the ultimate tropical escape. The region’s volcanic past left behind a lush and fertile archipelago of over 7000 islands.
Forming a wide arc between Florida in the north and Venezuela in the south, the islands varying considerably in size and are the isolated upper parts of a submerged chain of volcanic mountains, are scattered over thousands of square kilometres of seas.
The Caribbean is very accessibly from the UK providing a warm weather escape for those wishing to avoid the cold.
