The Luxury Travel Magazine from Caribtours, January 2023

FEEL THE SPIRIT OF

BARBADOS

From the rum-swilling buccaneers and colonial sugar barons of old, to the modern day jet set playing cat-and-mouse with the paparazzi on board their luxury yachts, Barbados has long enticed adventurers and pleasure seekers to its platinum sands.

Today this tiny island in the eastern Caribbean offers everything from magnificent, tranquil beaches to dramatic cliffs, rugged rolling hills, superb restaurants and picture-perfect golf courses.

To revive and restore your mind, body and soul, head to Barbados, where the horizons are blessed with coral-coloured sunrises and sunsets. The island encompasses the depth and breadth of transformative experiences, both physically and spiritually. Reap the rewards of overcoming a new challenge, try caving in the awe-inspiring Harrison’s Cave or experience the Run Barbados marathon, routed, for the first time in 2023, along the scenic East Coast Road.

For an exhilarating activity, take to the seas and go surfing in the waters off the sleepy village of Bathsheba or, for something more relaxing, the calm Caribbean Sea is a sailor’s dream. Drop anchor in a quiet bay for a swim in the crystal-clear waters or try deepsea fishing, a soothing and calming pastime.

Escape to a secluded location only accessible by foot and feel at peace surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. Trek through vast sugar cane plantations, past tropical thickets teaming with island fauna, and take in the majesty of the wide-open vistas of the island’s more rugged heartland. The sweeping Atlantic side of the island is a hidden treasure with refreshing sea breezes and postcard views. This beautiful island has the second highest number of centenarians per capita in the world, proof perhaps that the sunny isle has a spirit that’s good for your wellbeing.

SPOTLIGHT ON JAMAICA

Jamaica is the epitome of tropical Caribbean luxury, conjuring up images of leafy palms on white-sand beaches, the tangy taste of delicious rum punch and the riffs of reggae music and steel pan bands. The appeal of a holiday in Jamaica is the magnitude of things to see and experience, from active adventures like climbing a waterfall, to relaxing pastimes such as chilling out at a beach bar or snorkelling beneath crystal-clear waters.

Jamaica celebrated 60 years of independence in 2022, and the people here certainly know how to party. Our own association with this sun-kissed island goes back almost as far; Jamaica was our first destination when we started selling holidays to the Caribbean back in 1979.

Taste the world-famous local jerk flavoured cuisine, enjoy reggae rhythms and immerse yourself in one of the most influential cultures of the West Indies, and you can be sure that your luxury Caribbean holiday will be just that little bit extra-special in Jamaica. Tropical rainforests, waterfalls and staggering mountains make up the UNESCO-protected eco-system, while the birthplace of Bob Marley and links to Ian Fleming only add to the interest of the intriguing heritage calling out to be explored.

The Caribbean Sea presents a host of fun-packed things to do, from thrilling water sports activities to relaxing catamaran cruises to where you delight in some dolphin watching. Hit the beautiful white-sand beaches, visit coffee plantations, swim in the fresh water pools in the famous Dunn’s River Falls and explore the verdant peaks of the Blue Mountains. PGA Championship Golf courses are blessed with stunning sea views, and the island’s delectable spicy cuisine will tempt your taste buds.

CAMBRIDGE BEACHES RESORT & SPA BERMUDA

Cambridge Beaches epitomises everything that makes Bermuda such a perfect destination for couples and families - a fabulous beachfront setting, tropical gardens, stylish accommodations and the most gracious service.

The resort’s reimagined rooms and suites are housed in delightful cottages dotted around a 23 acre private peninsula.

It all makes for a supremely elegant and peaceful atmosphere, although, if you’re feeling energetic, there are plenty of activities available and include croquet, a putting green, sports courts with tennis and pickleball, fitness centre, indoor heated swimming pool, an outdoor infinity pool and a wide range of watersports.
