Grand Turk
The largest of the Turks Islands, which are named after an indigenous cactus that actually looks like it's wearing a fez (the Turkish tassel hat). You won't find many fezzes on the island, as there simply aren't that many heads there to wear them! With a population of less than 4,000, what you will find is plenty of room to relax - or swim, dive or fish, and just the weather for doing it. Check out Cockburn Town, featuring a wonderful selection of historical buildings and an unforgettable rustic charm. You'll also find many Colonial-style buildings and ruins, along with The Turks and Caicos National Museum. One of the main draws is diving, and Grand Turk's protected coral reef, which drops to 8,000 feet.
La Romana, Dominican Republic
The southeastern tip of the Dominican Republic features La Romana, a city built by the sugar mills before it began to blossom into a resort area. About one mile from the famous Casa de Campo Resort, this small city has some of the finest golf courses found in the Caribbean. White sand beaches in La Romana are also, unsurprisingly, one of the city's main attractions.
Curacao
The 'C' of the tiny trio of 'ABC Islands' - Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao - Curaçao is a beautiful, secluded landmass located in the southwestern Caribbean, just off the coast of Venezuela. The island is home to about 138,000 people, who represent more than 50 nationalities and can be heard speaking Dutch, Spanish, and English… not to mention the colorful local creole, Papiamentu. A vibrant and rich culture rooted in history and hospitality, Curaçao has been home to many painters and artists of all types.
Aruba
This peaceful piece of paradise offers warm sun tempered by gentle trade winds, all wrapped up in a tiny package in the southern Caribbean. Need we say more? Try vibrant outdoor markets, magnificent beaches and lush gardens. Walk along quaint streets lined with Dutch colonial buildings typifying the island's earliest beginnings, snorkel in the most breathtaking coral area in the Caribbean, or discover the natural wonders of Aruba by visiting the Butterfly Farm or the Ayo Rock Formations.
