Day 1
La Romana
Arrive in La Romana, where the Dominican Republic’s sugar coast meets one of the Caribbean’s most polished resort enclaves. Casa de Campo’s golf courses and marina are nearby. Altos de Chavón, a 16th-century-style village, overlooks the Chavón River. Further east, Bayahibe offers boat trips to Saona Island and its protected beaches. Choose La Romana for a day that moves from elegant leisure to coastal wilderness.
-
Day 2
Punta Cana
Punta Cana’s appeal is plain: miles of pale sand, warm Caribbean water and winter sunshine. Along the eastern coast, resort beaches meet palm groves, golf courses and the calm waters of Bávaro. Leave the shoreline for Santo Domingo’s colonial streets, or visit a local farm to learn about cacao and coffee. Distances are long, so choose your excursion carefully and start early.
-
Day 3
Virgin Gorda Island BVI
Virgin Gorda swaps city bustle for clear water, quiet coves and a dramatic coastline. At The Baths, granite boulders form a maze of sea pools and narrow passages beside the beach. Some routes involve ladders and slippery rocks, so wear shoes with grip. Spanish Town is the island’s main settlement; North Sound is known for sheltered anchorages and sailing. Go early to explore The Baths before the busiest hours, then cool off in the Caribbean.
-
Day 4
Montserrat Island UK
Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean, known for its volcanic landscape and quiet, uncrowded shores. The Soufrière Hills volcano reshaped the island after its 1995 eruption; Plymouth, the former capital, remains within the exclusion zone. Visit the Montserrat Volcano Observatory for context, then explore northern settlements, black-sand beaches and trails through lush hills. This is an island for curious travellers, not hurried sightseeing.
-
Day 5
Deshaies, Guadeloupe
Deshaies brings you to Guadeloupe’s quieter Caribbean coast, where a fishing village curves around a small harbor. Colorful homes, waterfront cafés and fishing boats give the center an easygoing feel, best explored on foot. Just beyond town, Deshaies Botanical Garden displays tropical plants, waterfalls and birds across a hillside estate. Nearby Grande Anse offers golden sand and a broad sweep of sea; swimming conditions can vary. Spend the day among gardens, beach and village life, at an easy pace.
-
Day 6
Roseau, Dominica
Roseau is Dominica’s compact, characterful capital, where Creole life meets a handsome Caribbean waterfront. Walk its streets to find the Old Market, local shops, and the island’s botanical gardens. For a wider view, climb to Morne Bruce, where the city, coast, and green interior unfold below. Beyond town, rainforest trails lead to waterfalls and hot springs, while volcanic reefs invite exploration. Bring comfortable shoes; Dominica rewards travelers who prefer wild landscapes to polished resort strips.
-
Day 7
Speightstown, Barbados
Speightstown, on Barbados’s west coast, offers a quieter, more local view of island life than Bridgetown. Walk its compact streets for colonial-era architecture, independent shops, and the Arlington House Museum, where exhibits trace Barbados’s history. Along the waterfront, fishing boats and the nearby fish market keep the town’s maritime character in view. Choose a seaside lunch or visit St Peter’s Parish Church before continuing along the coast.
-
Day 8
Fort-de-France, Martinique
Fort-de-France puts Martinique’s French-Caribbean character within easy reach of the quay. The island’s capital wraps around a sheltered bay, with cafés, shops and the covered Grand Marché near the waterfront. The iron-framed Schoelcher Library was shipped from Paris in the 19th century. Nearby, Saint-Louis Cathedral reflects a city repeatedly rebuilt after fires and earthquakes. Beyond town, roads climb toward Balata Gardens and lead to rum distilleries and beaches beneath volcanic peaks.
