Whilst all the islands featured on this site boast the necessary ingredients of sun, sea and sand and all offer the highest standards available, they are all actually very different in terms of their personality.
BARBADOS
First settled by the British in 1627 and many British traditions are now an intrinsic part of the Bajan culture. Barbados has something for everyone, but has not compromised its idyllic charm by becoming too developed. You won't find high-rise hotels, arcades or hamburger chains; you will find beautiful white sand beaches, swaying palms beside warm blue seas and some of the friendliest people in the world.
MUSTIQUE
Part of the Grenadines, Mustique is inherently glamorous and sophisticated; its popularity with royalty and the jet set has endowed the island with an internationally prestigious reputation. And yet, it remains unspoilt with irresistible white sand beaches, warm clear seas and remote from the pressures of life.
ANTIGUA
Antigua is beaches - the island boasts a beach for every day of the year; the sand is white, the sea is clear and warm and it's difficult not to just lie back and take things easy. Climb Shirley Heights and look down over English Harbour to enjoy one of the most spectacular views in the Caribbean, visit the excellently restored Nelson's Dockyard or experience the novelty of exploring an island with virtually no sign posts!
