Further to our post “Dreaming of Jamaica“, we have been looking at other Caribbean islands which offer a similar experience – albeit a little more relaxed.

Grenada

Grenada is one of the smallest independent nations in the Westen Hemisphere (pop 100,000), and is named ‘The Spice Isle’ due to it being a leading producer of Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mace, allspice, orange/citrus peels and wild coffee. The bulkof tourism is focussed around the capital St Georges – recognised as one of the most beautiful city in the Caribbean. Luxury holidays in Grenada are a fantastic option for those who wish to experience the very best of what the Caribbean has to offer.

St Barts

The Saint Barthelemy Wikipedia entry says it all:

St. Barth has long been considered a playground of the rich and famous and is known for its beautiful pristine beaches, gourmet dining in chic bistros and high-end designer shopping.

St Barts remains an alluring and elegant luxury holiday destination, an excellent alternative to the hustle and bustle of Jamaica.
