Eagle Beach

Eagle Beach has been rated as one of the best beaches in the world, and it’s not hard to understand why. The soft white sand makes it the perfect place to relax with a cocktail in hand while watching the waves. You can also go scuba diving in the turquoise water where you will encounter coral reefs and possibly even a shipwreck.

Oranjestad

As a member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Dutch is a widely spoken language in Aruba. The country’s capital, Oranjestad, translates to Orange City, and is a fascinating blend of Dutch colonial architecture and lively Caribbean vibes. Go for a stroll along the waterfront promenade, take a photo beside the “I Love Aruba” sign, and indulge in some duty-free shopping. 

Bon Bini Festival

“Bon Bini” is the Aruban phrase for “welcome”, and the weekly Bon Bini Festival is the best way to embrace the island’s culture. Expect music, dancing, and traditional dishes like Keshi Yena and Pastechi.

Struggling Economy

Haiti was once the richest colony of the French Empire and known as “the pearl of the Antilles”. Today, unfortunately, it’s officially the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. It still struggles to recover from the devastating earthquake that happened in 2010: the economy never truly recovered.

Languages

The people of Haiti speak two official languages: French and Haitian Creole. Besides Canada, Haiti is the only country in the Americas with French as an official language. Still, the majority of the population speaks Haitian Creole, which is a mixture of French and African languages.

Nature

Haiti has diverse climate zones and you can see versatile nature, from coconut trees on the coastline to dry forests with nothing but cacti. There are two national parks that you can visit to see tropical and pine forests and many animal species like the rhinoceros iguana, the Haitian boa, and the Hispaniolan trogon, which is Haiti’s national bird.

White Bay Beach, British Virgin Islands

This is one of the most relaxed beaches for enjoying a beer with friends, listening to music, and soaking up the sun. Although it can get quite busy in the summer, you can find more secluded spots further down the beach if you wish.

Seven Mile Beach, Cayman Islands

While this beach is not actually 7 miles long, all 5.5 miles of it is burning white sands with crystal clear waters. Voted as one of the best beaches in the Caribbean each year, this really feels like heaven on earth.

Guardalavaca Beach, Cuba

Renowned for its sporting activities, here you can play volleyball, tennis, and football, as well as go scuba diving, snorkeling, and kayaking.

Jade Mountain Resort (St. Lucia)

The island of St. Lucia is known for its volcanic history, which is what created the Pitons that characterize the island. Jade Mountain Resort is one of the most luxurious resorts on the island with views of the Pitons across the bay. If you’re looking for something extra romantic, consider staying in one of the rooms which comes with its own infinity pool. 

Excellence Oyster Bay (Jamaica)

This hotel is for people looking to relax and focus on themselves, rather than boisterous parties this is the resort for you. It features multiple pools, restaurants with international cuisine, and a spa offering every treatment imaginable. This is a place you can truly unwind, and forget the stresses of the world. 

Cocobay Resort (Antigua)

While many resorts offer hundreds of rooms, Cocobay has opted for a much more intimate stay. There are only a few rooms and no televisions in any of them. This is designed for the adults that want to enjoy a digital detox, and spend their days swimming on one of the three white sand beaches in front of the resort.

Barbados

This sunny island has created the “Barbados Welcome Stamp,” which gives digital nomads a 12-month permit to work and live in the country. There is a pretty hefty application fee of $2,000, and you have to make a minimum of $50,000 a year to qualify. However, this visa can be renewed, so you can stay for more than a year.

Bermuda

This sunny island, dotted with pink sand beaches, is offering its own digital nomad visa. The best part about this one is you don’t need a set income, and the application fee is only $236. Bermuda is an expensive place to live though, and accommodation can be hard to find.

Antigua and Barbuda

Another visa up for grabs here is the “Nomad Digital Residence” visa. The visa lasts for two years, and you must have an annual income of $50,000. The fee to apply is $1,500.

St. Barts

St. Barts looks a lot like Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. You can enjoy the view of beautiful beaches, yachts, and designer stores. The St. Barts’ capital Gustavia is known for incredible restaurants with haute cuisine that includes seafood and other specialties.

Barbados

Bridgetown, capital of Barbados, will instantly remind you of England. The architecture of the city has Georgian, Victorian, and Jacobean influences. Also, horse racing is very popular on Barbados.

Martinique

If the thing you miss the most about Paris is your favorite boulangerie that sells the perfect pastry, Martinique has just what you need. The oldest bakery on the island is called Chez Surena and it serves baguettes, brioche, and other delicious French pastries. Nearby is the place where Napoléon Bonaparte’s first wife Joséphine was born.

Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are more than ready to celebrate the start of a new year with tourists.

Canouan Island

This is a calm, exotic location, perfect for a group of friends, families, and couples. They recently added a luxurious resort that can be your hotel of choice during the stay. It is not as popular as the other Caribbean Islands, which makes it much better for a peaceful relaxing vacation.

St. Croix

Another lesser-known location that comes straight out of paradise. St. Croix wasn’t affected by the hurricanes as much as the other Virgin Islands, so you’ll have several resorts to choose from.

Martinique

You can start 2019 in your bathing suit right by the pool, or chill on the beach. Martinique is a popular destination for this winter.

Antigua

You’ll completely forget about winter in one of the most beautiful Caribbean Islands. All of the resorts will be ready to welcome guests right in time for the holidays. If you are up for a short vacay away from the snow and cold, we highly recommend Antigua.
