Give the Gift of Travel: Caribbean Edition

As the holiday season approaches, I find myself pondering the best gifts to give to my loved ones. This year, I’ve decided to think outside the box—or rather, outside the country—and consider the gift of travel. A Caribbean getaway seems like the perfect present, offering something for everyone on my list.

For my family, I imagine the tranquil waters and family-friendly beaches of Turks & Caicos. Staying at The Shore Club would provide us with convenient beach access and roomy suites—ideal for a relaxing yet activity-filled vacation with the kids.

For a romantic escape with my husband, St. Lucia is calling our names. The stunning landscapes and hidden beaches promise an intimate setting. I envision us staying at Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort, where we can enjoy breathtaking views and unforgettable sunset dinners.

I have a friend who adores luxury and would surely appreciate the premier resorts in the Bahamas. A stay at Rosewood Baha Mar would be a dream come true, with private beaches and exquisite dining experiences.

For my adventurous friend, Dominica offers the perfect thrill. Known as the "Nature Island," it’s packed with volcanic hikes and underwater escapades. Secret Bay Resort seems like the ideal base for exploring the island’s natural beauty.

Lastly, for the wellness lover in my life, Antigua’s tranquil shores beckon. I picture them at Carlisle Bay Resort, indulging in calming yoga sessions and revitalizing spa treatments.
