Escape – Bahamas

When the need to get away hits head to Pink Sands Resort. The Harbour Island retreat offers everything from reef dives to deep-sea fishing as well as the ability to do nothing at all, albeit in complete Caribbean comfort. Savour fresh tropical dishes, sip rum-laced sundowners or fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping the pink sand beach. Whichever the choice, escape is in the cards.

Beach – St Barths

Cornering the market on comfortable elegance, Le Barthélemy is situated on a wild cul-de-sac and is part of the Nature Reserve of St. Barths. Positioned directly on the crescent-shaped beach, the resort is perfect for enjoying superlative sunsets or seaside inspired meals, while the interiors are equally stylish.

Romance – Jamaica

When Cupid is calling, the only answer is Sandals Royal Caribbean Montego Bay. Over-the-water villas feature glass floors, private plunge pools with Jacuzzi, floating water hammocks and soaking tubs built for two. Add on the private butler and 24-hour room service, and it’s quite possibly heaven on earth.

Culture – Cuba

Nestled in the heart of the old city, Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana is the perfect jumping off point to experience all the splendour Havana has to offer. A stone’s throw from the Capitol Theatre, many of Havana’s must-sees are a hop, skip and a jump away. When overcome by the city’s splendour retire to the hotel rooftop where pool and bar await.
